No autofocus at all in video-mode? (HTC Titan)

[iMlindberg]

Hey, I own an HTC Titan, and while I've never tried it on any other Windows Phone, there seem to be no autofocus in video at all, not even when you're not recording. Is this a bug or is it just generally something Windows Phones can not do?

I don't have my Titan on me right now but I was sure it had auto focus.

I know my 900 has auto focus.

It seems to focus in the beginning, but it certainly can not focus while shooting.

It does focus, but the thing is it ONLY focuses when both the subject and the phone are still (like taking a still photo) so its pretty much useless because you won't be able to shoot sharp, clear video when you start shooting a subject near the camera and then switch to a wide view.

I can't get it focusing at all. Sometimes it does what you just said, but generally it just doesn't focus at all on anything. It's not blurry, it just won't focus on a single object. When taking a photo it does an awesome job, but the focusing seems to be a bug, since it works on every other platform.

It does focus, it works pretty much like as if you're taking a still photo in macro (that is if this is what you mean? Like focus on one object?) It just takes time adjusting and this is the problem with it. It takes time and position to adjust, like you have to hold the phone still and THEN it adjusts, not when you move it around. This is what HTC should fix about the camera, the trophy I had have a better focus adjustment both still and video capture.

Mine just doesn't focus, at all. It will keep the focus it had when switching from taking pictures, to shooting video, but it will never adjust in video-mode.
