[QUOTE="hark, post: 737049, member: 13196"] I don't do video other than with a phone so can't help you with specifics. But as Sparky and Fred mentioned, a flat lens doesn't necessarily mean it will work like a camera phone, and camera phones tend to be wide angle. But since I don't do DSLR videos, I'm not sure which AF mode you should use. And I think that might be what's causing your problem. AF-S is designed to lock focus on a stationary subject so if the subject moves closer to and away from the lens, it will become blurry. AF-C is designed to continually focus on a moving subject - but I'm not sure how that factors into video. For photos, the shutter button (or back button if that's how a camera is set up) has to be pressed halfway to engage AF-C. Nikon DSLR's also come with AF-A. That mode is supposed to be a blend of both AF-S and AF-C. If the camera senses movement, it will work like AF-C, but when the subject stops moving, it simulates AF-S. But like I said, I don't shoot video so am not familiar with which AF setting you need. [/QUOTE]
