Canon 200D Video autofocus issue
Canon 200D Video autofocus issue
Oct 1, 2018
This is driving me crazy
I’m doing youtube videos where I record myself a lot of time in front of the camera, and very often end up with out of focus footage.
The camera is a 200D, with a 24mm pancake lens (but I kind of see the same issue with my kit lens). I use studio lights, with one ring light and a rim light
My procedure is as follow:
- Position me at a fixed distance from the camera (around 1,5m)
- White balance set to Sunny, to match the light color
- Set shutter speed to 1/50, and fps to 25.
- Aperture set to F4 (I want a little blurry background that is 2m behind me, but has tried other focal length as well like 2.8, 3.2, 5.6)
- Adjust ISO to 400/800 so the histogram is evenly distributed.
- Start the phone camera app and connect through wifi
- Tap the screen to make sure my head is in focus (seems the camera is tracking me when I move around. I do move a bit)
- I start/stop recording with the remote app, and make sure that my head is marked in focus.

This is a major issue for me, and I got the 200D because of the dual pixel autofocus
What I’m I doing wrong? Is this a camera fault?
