Feature Request: Manual Focus

[JaceMakings]

Suggesting a manual focus slider function. Would help a lot with trying to take pictures of insects for iNaturalist.

That would be a great feature, because a lot of OEMs refuse to put in mannual focus especially in lower end phones. Even opencamera doesn't have this feature at the time of writing.
The only app on f-droid that I know has this feature is FreeDcam, which is highly unstable, has an outdated UI and old-fashioned sliders even for zooming, meaning no pinch-to-zoom.

Would be a great help to add this feature, especially for people who like to take photos of plants and insects!

Actually, it has:

(here, a view of my very dirty keyboard 😅)

Just make sure that you have "Camera2 API" selected on the "Camera API" option on the configurations, that give you access to more features. I hope this could be of help 😁

Yeah, the principal reason that I go to an alternative camera app was precisely the lac of manual focus. And was very disappointing that LibreCamera can't have that at the moment, because I like more this interface than the OpenCamera's one.

Thanks. That helps a lot. ^_^

I got very frustrated when a tiny spider ballooning in the air but the OEM camera app only have auto-focus which focus into the wall instead of the tiny spider, waiting for Flutter to solve...
