I find it quite frustrating that the asus camera app keep trying to refocus when taking selfie videos. I shoot videos of myself playing guitar or singing and I've had to download google camera just for focus lock. Is there any way to lock focus and exposure when taking video on the stock camera app?

Long press on the thing you want to lock focus on

Thanks everyone! I guess i wasnt pressing long enough. it would be nice to see some visual feedback on the screen.. currently the icon under your finger turns green but that isnt very helpful. a message saying "af locked" before i click record would be nice.
