Override Auto-Focus

Is there a way to override auto-focus? When shooting photos of close-up items, auto-focus gets the background rather than the actual *closer* item of my interest. I can pull back a bit, let auto-focus lock in on the item, and then I lean it a little more. Most of the time it holds (seems to be light dependent) but the other times it breaks lock and focuses on something further behind it. Tapping and holding for the lock often fails. Is there something else I can try?


iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14
