M3 loses focus during video

Hi,

I'm trying to shoot some family videos with my Canon M3 (mostly with the EF-M 22/2).  Otherwise I'm mostly a stills shooter.

Very often the M3 defocuses during video, even with more or less static subjects (baby in a cradle). So at the beginning of the video focus is fine, than the M3 changes focus for no apparent reason (subject is blurred). After a little while (1-3 s) it regains correct focus. The focus box in the display is constantly where it's supposed to be.

This is very annoying. How do I get rid of this behaviour?

Thanks,

Oliver
