I noticed that sometimes when video recording with the Panasonic G7 camera it has a bad habit of going out of focus for a moment then back into focus again.
Can anyone tell me what might be the reason for this as I don't see a good reason why it would do this? I can understand if there was a near by object that got in the way causing it to shift focus but this was not the case.
Most of the time I don't have this focus problem and if it happens then I'm forced to switch to manual focus.

Switch video C-AF off unless you need it; then you can use S-AF and adjust even while recording if necessary.
Video C-AF works for moving objects, and isn't so great for static shots where alternative settings are more appropriate.
The G7 has DFD and with the right lenses focus works very well, but you have to choose the best options for the scenario.
Thanks for the two posters telling me about C-AF. Far as I know this is off but it may have been accidentally turned on...I'll check.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
