Is it possible to enable auto-focus in CameraX.

I'm testing on a Samsung SM-G900I which supports auto focus but images in the CameraX Basic example app are blurry. The camera app on the device auto focusses but suspect this is due to the camera app.

Cheers Leevi

Hi Leevi,

Thanks for asking! CameraX's default behavior for AF mode is CAF (Continuous Auto Focus) mode if the focus mode is supported on device. There are some Samsung devices we have found in our testing that advertise support for CONTROL_AF_MODE_CONTINUOUS_PICTURE but they actually do not. We have an internal issue (ID 123316704) which tracks these behaviors. We'll look into it more after we release our Beta library.

Thanks!

-Eric

Thanks for the reply Eric. What you've outlined could very well be the case on this old Galaxy S5.

Looking forward to the beta.

Cheers
