Re: Panasonic G7 Camera focus problem with example

Yeah, that's just how continuous AF in video worked up until very recently. Or rather, didn't work, heh.

Not much you can do about it really. It's fundamentally broken in camera.

Latest flagship firmwares have finally made them usable for those needing video AF. But that only applies to G9, GH5 and GH5s unfortunately.

For all previous models, including your G7, you're better off using manual focus when shooting video I'm afraid.

You can still half press the shutter to focus while recording, so it's not that bad.
