Touch Screen Focus

Touch Screen Focus (n.) A feature allowing users to set the focus point by tapping on the desired area of the composition on the phone’s screen. This capability is nearly universal in modern smartphone cameras and gives photographers precise control over the focal point of their images. Many devices also combine this with touch exposure control, allowing users to adjust brightness with a slide gesture after setting focus. This feature is particularly useful for subjects off-center or in complex scenes where automatic focus might not choose the intended subject.
