Hello,

I understand that after the update live focus has now been renamed to Portrait. But on mine I only see Portrait for photos only. I cannot find Portrait video even when I go to More. 

I have tried reset settings, auto focus tracking, auto rotate settings. I still do not find Portrait video so my video just does the normal record without that bokeh effect like it used to have in live focus video. 

Anybody can help? 

Model is N770F
Build no ends with S7EUE5

@volk5wag3n: Sadly, if Portrait Video is not available to select in the Camera app > More, then the feature is not accessible on your device. I apologise for any disappointment this may cause you.

What? It used to have live focus video before the update as I was using it a lot for recording. This update is annoying so many things gone missing. Anybody has the full release notes for the latest fix so I can see what's changed?

This is terrible that the Live focus and its features have been removed but its still marketed on Samsung websites and printed literature and the only answers seem to be that they have replaced it with the 'portrait' setting which does not work totally in the same way as the original Live focus that was shipped on certain Samsung mobile devices and has reduced operability as the original live focus feature (bokeh, swirl etc) . it is not good enough , and the live focus feature may have been a reason why some people purchased the actual mobile phone over another brand.
If you feel strongly about this and would like a chance to see if Samsung reverse their decision to remove it and encouraged to reinstate the Live focus feature back onto the original handsets that came with live Focus will you please consider adding your name to this online petition asking them to reinstate Live Focus? 
Many thanks.
