60D "Follow Focus"

[EddieBet]

I think I might already know the answer to this, but has anyone found a way of adjusting the Auto Focus whilst filming video footage with a 60D?

There is no autofocus on the 60D while filming, you need to do it manually either by using your hand or a follow focus device.

That is what I thought. Am I right in thinking that a follow focus system is still manually operated?

There are videos on youtube showing some options and if you use Magic Lantern you get a few more:

A "follow focus" is usually a knob you twist to follow focus.
