Camera: Focus on face in QR code mode

I had to scan a QR code today that was printed very close to a face. Even in QR code scanning mode the camera app insisted on focussing on this face. Even if face recognition is activated I think it should be deactivated in QR mode. Instead some kind of QR code recognition would be nice. Would this be possible?
