I added a refocusable MultiFocus mode to my iPhone camera app

[u/tknzn]

I’ve been working on a new MultiFocus mode for LSC Long Shot Camera.

It captures 10 different focus planes in one shot, and afterwards you can tap different parts of the image to choose where you want the photo to be focused.

You can export the selected focus as a normal JPG, export all 10 focus frames separately, or keep the complete stack in LSC’s private .nar format and reopen it later to refocus the same capture again.

There’s also an All Focus mode that tries to combine sharp regions from different focus planes into one extended-depth-of-field image. That part is still being improved — focus breathing and alignment between focus distances make it surprisingly difficult to make the result look like one completely natural photo.

MultiFocus is now available in LSC v2.1 on the App Store.

The images here are just test examples for now. I haven’t had the chance to go out and shoot better real-world examples yet, but I’ll keep sharing new results as I make them.

If anyone tries MultiFocus, I’d genuinely love to see what you create with it. Feel free to share your refocus shots here.

Support and feedback from users are what let me keep developing LSC and experimenting with features like this.
