If it possible to have a continuous focus function on Nokia camera or microsoft camera? I wonder why even iPhone4 or mid range android can have it, but my 920 can't have.

The Lumia 1520 and the 930 have continuous focus but the previous gen Lumias don't. It's up to Nokia's mobile division (now Microsoft) to update Nokia Camera/Microsoft Camera to enable that feature

I think a lot of flagship Android devices still use the single shot focus method but they've made it significantly better than before.

Continuous autofocus isn't on a whole lot of Android devices but iPhone has it.

I've contacted Nokia about this but it seems they have no plans yet to add continuous focus for older Lumias.

I own a Lumia 1020. The bad part is that they DON'T want older Lumias to have the latest camera features. If I have continuous auto-focus during video, why can't I have it for still shots? And when Living images worked perfectly earlier, why did they remove that feature later? All these things baffle me.
