I tried to take a picture of a deer once in a park with my phone. I knew where the deer had run to, so I had everything on my side. Alas, the deer run when it saw me, and given how slow the auto-focus of my phone was, all I got was a small blur. Not even I would believe me.

I gained some respect that day for anyone who claims to have seen something, and yet has no decent evidence.



Maybe the slow, error-prone autofocus and ridiculous number of UI steps required to launch many phone cameras were part of the coverup conspiracy ;-). Seriously though, I've had the same problem. Why can't my phone just give me manual focus?
