Adjust the focus area to suitable size, or set up custom focus points for AF (custom multi AF mode).

I usually have Continuous AF set to OFF when I am filming (this is adjusted from the video menu). With this option, the camera auto-focuses only when I half-press the shutter.

To understand you better, do you mean that while video recording you half press the shutter to correct the focus if you move from a far object to a near object?

For example in that situation, yes. Or if the subject moves closer/further.
