Hmm, can I do that in Google Camera? I can't find the option.
- throwanem 6y agoSorry, no, I meant on ILCs, to eliminate the focus delay before release. I don't know of any phone camera that lets you. Maybe with an app.
- StavrosK 6y agoOh, yes, though there it's so fast that it usually doesn't bother me. If I've focused beforehand on a static scene I just turn AF off from the switch on the lens.
- throwanem 6y agoBack-button AF is super convenient for this, too. No need to worry about turning AF on and off, you just hold the button when you want it and let go when you don't. With enough configurable buttons, you can even have multiple AF modes instantly to hand - I do this on my D500, for example, so I can coach in on a sitting bird with group AF on Fn1, and then get tack-sharp eye focus with single-point mode on AF-ON, and not ever have to think about dinking around with control dials or menus while I'm shooting. Now that I think about it, that obviates my shutter focus priority setting anyway, since half-pressing the shutter only locks exposure. Oh, well...
