Details

One thing I hate when using my phone as a Camera is missing shots due to shutter lag.

The camera in FFXOS lags horribly because it always is trying to adjust focus/exposure, especially at the instant the user presses the Shutter button.

I'd love to see a toggle that "locks" the camera at the Focus to Infinity point for that lens/module so that the user can shoot faster. Metering should be trivial/instant, and if the camera module isn't trying to constantly rack the focus motor it'll be ready instantly to trigger the shutter when the user presses the Shutter button.

For situations where I want more control, I'll turn off Infinity Focus mode and I'll tap about my screen like a pro.
