Unable to lock focus in camera

[ssedrgmechtvc]

In Honor magic 6 pro, can someone here tell me, how to manually lock the focus while taking a photo. While i press and hold at any point on the frame, there appears a square bracket and a ring inside it, with a pop-up dialogue 'drag the individual rings to adjust focus and metering separately'. (see the attached image)

Welcome.

I don’t have that phone, but can you not separate the two by dragging? I remember something similar in a phone I had long ago. The circle is for exposure, and the square for focus. Long-pressing either causes the padlock icon to appear, for locking exposure or focus.

yea i certainly can separate the two by dragging. U r right - the circle is for exposure and the square is for focus. But the usual padlock is not appearing while long -pressing on either of these. Thats the issue.

Not familiar with your device but what about if you tap the screen to focus?

Greetings!!
When i just tap, that area of the frame is just focused (not locked)
