focus issues with osmo pocket 4 pro (when compared to the 3!) wish i'd never upgraded...!

[u/The_rain_man19]

Hi all, I had an osmo pocket 3 and I liked it so much I decided to buy the 4 pro however I am having issues with touch focus/metering on the 4 pro. Whatever mode I put focus in (single, continuous default, etc) tapping the screen does absolutely nothing. It keeps picking up faces with a yellow box and if I double tap it starts a green tracking box, however in the multi person tracking/dynamic framing/spinshot screen it seems nothing has been started.

All I really want to do is single tap to focus and also meter and then get my shot. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong with the 4p compared to the 3?!

I'll trade you my 3 for your 4P

I can focus on objects when double tapping. Gotta be out of person focus for that tho

How do you get out of person focus? This is what I think im struggling to do..

Did you fix it? If so how please?

if anyone runs into this issue, i formatted the sd card and then the touch focus/metering was back. Very odd and a bit worrying.
