I genuinely think it's the face detection setting that Is causing my 5 to take ages to autofocus when opening the camera. Is there any way to turn this off so I can see if it makes a difference?
Thanks

I do notice my iphone5 will sometimes decide to focus on something other than what I'm filming. Irritating to say the least. I tap on the screen to get it to focus on what I want and then the thing sits there refocusing on a piece of dirt on my windshield if I'm photographing out the car window.
OK, if you are a camera, how would you know what your user is trying to capture so that you can make an intelligent decision on where to focus?
It does take a lot of brain power to guess correctly most of the time what someone else is trying to capture. Normally, foreground objects are chosen, which works well in the majority of the case, but then there is the wind shield issue. However, even if you can add the "skip the windshield" logic, there are times when you want to shoot the windshield, so it's foolproof either.
What you need is a camera that can read your mind to focus on what's in your brain at the moment you press the shutter.
Face detection shouldn't cause any issues with the camera focusing.
Really?
So why has every other iphone camera I've used previously automatically been in focus when the camera opens?
