I want to use The Live focus feature of Note 8 correctly..
Because it is terrible compared to Iphone.... most of the time it tracks face...but other devices like iphone,They track the foreground subject....The live focus feature is actually unusable when your looking slightly away from the camera....because it wouldn't track the face...
Please let me know if I'm using it wrong or it's just terrible compared to iphones...

iphone vs note 8 video on live focus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GPFz4gS3Gc

it takes a little time to get adjustments right, each to their own has ones own way to do the tricks for it to do what you desire.

it takes some hit and miss to get it to work, but eventually it will work out.

lighting is the trick and use blur adjustments after shots taken

Thanks for Sharing the video..
I wasn't tapping to focus on foreground subject that's why it wasn't focusing on the subject and trying to track the face!
It's a hit or miss and it should be improved with software updates...anyways Thanks
