I just hunted for one with no success. Surely this would be a basic
thing when you want to take a fast shot without the camera taking time
to focus. Like fireworks, for example. Most of my fireworks shots were
garbage, either out of focus or taken a fractional second after I clicked.

I've tried several other apps, but they all seem wanting in one way or
another and I just got tired of testing, which is why I'm still using
the native one.

Anybody got a favorite?

No suggestion for infinity focus,but would "top shot" help with getting
the timing?

I don't see or know what that is.

Interesting.

I was, a month ago, trying to take a shot of a lighthouse, trying to get
the instant that the intermittent light is on. The logic in the camera
always synced on the dark time, because the camera actually takes
several fast shots and then joins them into one, to add light in some
auto night mode (the classic method we used was a long exposure with a
tripod). I had to disable that mode to get it to sync on the lighthouse
bright instant (which also illuminates the countryside in red).

Thanks!

I'd never looked at the 'Motion' thing because I was never interested in
doing those stupid photos that look kind of like 3-d when you move them.
It does offer something that might end up being Top Shot if I chose to
turn Motion on... I'll give it a shot.

I've only used half of the 128G the camera came with, so I'm not worried
about space.
