Panasonic cameras are great for video (I have 3) but the auto focus for video is pretty much useless. It has no problem focusing, but then it keeps verifying the focus by drifting in and out of focus - called hunting.

It's actually quite easy to deal with this by disabling continuous AF (from the video menu). This way the camera only adjusts focus when shutter release button is half-pressed. This way the AF is also much faster than when continuous AF is on.

I really don't like "fully automatic AF". Even when shooting stills, I use single AF point and AF-S. This way I have the control, not the camera.
