Re: Tip: AF in manual focus mode - Panasonic video

I set my cameras to AFS, Shutter AF to OFF and the back button AF to ON (but not locked) when shooting video.

When I want to focus I tap the back button, and bingo.  My only complaint is that Panasonic, in it's infinite wisdom, disables the small pinpoint AF box when video is recording.
