As a new owner of this camera I was keen to try out the video facility as I heard it produced very high quality images.
I set about reading the manual and while it was full of discussion about various settings, I couldn't find out what I had to do about focusing. On using the camera it appeared to work on a point and shoot basis on the normal AF-S setting. After recording a lot of videos of marching bands approaching and moving away from the camera I am less than impressed with the results. I mounted the camera on a monopod and could hold it very still.
Should I have been using the AF-C mode? Perhaps that's where my problems lie?
I also posted some onto Facebook and was similarly disappointed.
Does Facebook curtail the quality/resolution of the video they publish? I have heard that a digital SLR produces much higher quality images than your typical camcorder?
