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

    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?

    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).

    I don't see or know what that is.
