Default [Q] How Can I Disable Autofocus on Rooted Razr HD

I had a herd of 29 deer in my front yard a few days ago. I had my Razr Maxx HD with me at the window and tried to take several stills and a video of them through the window. All I could get was a clear image of the screen wire about 3 inches from the camera lens. The deer were so out of focus that the shots and video were unusable. Is there any way to disable autofocus or to set the focus to infinity on the Razr HD? Or is there a camera app that allows me to do this?

I think your best bet is to manually select between portrait or landscape mode for those kind of shots. The autofocus, much like the camera generally on the Razr Maxx HD, leaves much to be desired

Default Good news

My friend, I really demand a lot from my gadgets and after trying many camera programs on my phone I found one called "Snap camera" that doesnt use our phones auto focus. It only focus when u click and at your will. Great, isnt it? Now I feel more in control over my shots. By the way, Im on ICS. Gud luck with it. =p

You know what bugs me about the Motorola camera.... it focuses before you take the picture.... so if you'll notice that little green square uptop.... The camera will get into focus but if you move so slightly and snap the shot, it won't autofocus unless you specifically Click where you want to focus Then take the picture. Wish it would only focus when you snap the picture not before.

I've personally been using Camera Zoom Fx.... not perfect but better than stock!
