I'd like to bump this and voice my support for this as well. What is the current use case of setting `focusMode` to `manual` if you can't then provide a focus value? What focus value will be used, the last value before it was changed from auto to manual? I have a strong use case for this API, and it could more or less be a drop-in replacement if a manual focus value is added to the API. Without a way to set a manual focus value it is not very useful as I have a use case where the user calibrates the camera settings once (sets zoom and focus value) and those settings are reloaded every time the page is used to provide a consistent experience as far as zoom and focus go. Currently this is accomplished in a hacky way by using WebSockets to talk to a server on the local machine which uses low-level APIs to set these values. I know that UVC and Windows APIs both have support for setting a manual focus value. The `android.hardware.camera2` API appears to have support for setting a focus distance, it's unclear if the older `android.hardware.Camera` API does. @miguelao, anything I can do to help add this functionality to the spec? -- GitHub Notification of comment by dsanders11 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-image/issues/158#issuecomment-298192160 using your GitHub account
