If you do not see this option

• On OxygenOS 14? The OnePlus manual says video records at 1080p, 30 fps by default, and higher frame rates and sizes make bigger files. Source: OxygenOS 14.0 User Manual
• Another OnePlus? Video sizes vary by model. OnePlus lists the Nord 5's on its specs page. Source: OnePlus Nord 5 specs
• Focus lock missing? Camera Settings on ours says Focus lock is only available when recording at 30 fps.

  

If this does not work
