Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 Video Focusing Problem

I bought a new camera from Adorama last Christmas.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera with 14-42mm kit Lens

I also have sony a6000, the thing I like the best about g7 is tough screen and wifi. Wifi always stay connected, easy to connect with iPhone, but a6000 always drops. I can use iPhone to control g7 to taking pictures and start/stop video recording, but can't remote zoom. wonder if lx100 can zoom?

What I hate g7 is when recording video, it always try to focus, for example, when video myself, when I move a little, raise my hands, it always re-focus, that makes the video blur for a few seconds, when there is a person go in front of me (before me and camera), it refocus again, too annoying! Sony a6000 don't' have this problem at all.

I tried movie mode, auto mode, or A/S, same result. I don't want to use manual focus.

Anybody can help?
