I went from S7 Edge to N8 under the impression that the camera, and especially the 'live focus' option, would be improved. However, I'm very dissapointed so far and I miss 'selective focus' from the S7.

Any chance of bringing 'selective focus' to the N8? :fingers-crossed: I believe the S8 has it?

I also miss the N7 and S7 selective focus.. hopefully itll be back as a download or update to the camera app. Downloaded an old apk of he selective focus part of the camera but it doesnt work.. Shot and more doesnt work either (i liked he removal and dramatic shot modes :/) dual shot and surround shot work though

While I love the Dual camera and the live Focus, I do wish they would have left the selective focus in the camera app. There was a time or two so far I wanted to use it

It's still available in the front camera modes, just not the rear.. Live focus is nice when it works but again.. no pan focus (the lens is f 1.9, theres plenty of blur already)

In my experience the only time Live focus doesn't make the subject in focus kind of grainy/low res is in broad daylight. That wasn't the case with SF. Hopefully someone will bring it back :)

Yes, I'm talking about in the rear camera. Does me no good on the front camera

If its possible to port the N7/S8 camera app and have it run as a separate app from the system camera then it might be possible to have both live focus and selective. (And get shot and more back too?)

I have got Note 8 on 21 Sept India. While going through camera i found out that Selective Focus option is missing in camera. Is there any to get it. Live Focus does not make blur front and focus on back

Swipe right in the camera app to go to shooting modes and it should be there (mine doenst have the downloaded symbol next to it so assuming it was built in)
