That's how I remembered it too. And that's also then one of the major differences between this app and an actual professional camera - because on a smartphone you only have autofocus. Which works most of the time, but I've had some recordings of concerts with weird lighting, smoke and other stuff which were out of focus for quite a few seconds. One of the most stupid things is when you try to take a picture of a bird or airplane in flight and your smartphone can't focus on it because it's too small. Why can't it just default to focus to infinity if it can't find anything to focus on?


>because on a smartphone you only have autofocus

Focus can be controlled manually on the iPhone (in 3rd party apps).
