Hyperlapse Focus

[Kamw642]

Hi, 

Can there be an option to lock the focus when using Hyperlapse in the S Series? So many times I've recorded an awesome sequence only to find that it is out of focus! Sometimes the focus shifts slightly when setting the camera down, especially if the phone is leaning on something during recording. Often times a tripod is not available or not appropriate. It's very disappointing when this happens and a particular shame when the lenses are so good. 

Adding the ability to lock focus would really help functionality and confidence in capturing amazing videos with the S series!

Thank you

Can always use pro mode or expert RAW
Can set the focus manually

I find it disappointing that Samsung have not included settings for the hyper lapse mode, eg exposure, shutter speed, iso, focus. I have found that in Hyper mode the focus is supposed to be auto focus but, it appears that the close up details are in focus but the slightly more distant is out of focus. I have only just started to use Hyper mode and I want to use it for Aurora photography. It is going to be disappointing if some of the frame is in focus and the other is not. I have the S23 Ultra, and I am still trying to get used to what it can do.                                                                        Cheers

Is not the same as hyperlapse. You can lock focus in hyperlapse, but that also locks the exposure, so in case of a sunset you end up with a underexposed movie ending.
