4k video app for professional use, auto focusing issue

Hello Sony Z3 support,

I would like to address the developers of 4k video camera app. I know it's a stand alone application that shoots 4k.

I shoot video professionally and now experiencing the change from full hd to 4k.

Sony has the best 4k camera on the market these days, and me personally, I purchased this phone to be able to shoot 4k video using the smartphone.

Currently 4k app lacks some pro features to make the shooting, but that's ok. The main issue here is its auto focusing whenever picture changes. So many shots were ruined by this issue. It's not a bug or hardware problem, it's just lack of possibility to disable the auto-focus.

My feature request about 4k video camera app is as simple as this:

- ability to select between auto and manual focus

- focusing on tap

It's been already implemented on regular photo/video app, but not in 4k video app. Without this feature this 4k camera cannot be used for professional purposes.

I know it wasn't designed for a pro video, but I'm talking about something that may change the market like Canon DSLRs did with Full HD video few years ago.

Thanks for pointing that out. Just done that.

Is it the only way to reach the Sony sanctum sanctorum?
