[QUOTE="skene, post: 221964, member: 13155"] Well for one, you should really learn how to get out of "Auto" and learn a bit more of the camera's workings. When dealing with video, you also do not want to use auto focus. The AF is not really meant for shooting movies or anything like that so it's a bit a skewed. When shooting video, you do want to be able to control the focus and adjust manually. This way you do not get that awful grinding noise of the AF motor turning. Now I am going to ask what modes do you have your AF on? Do you keep it on AF-A, AF-S or AF-C each of these have specific functions and will be the deciding factor on why you may be having problems with focusing. Give us a more detailed walkthrough of what you are doing and we can help you a bit further. [/QUOTE]
