Does this camera autofocus during filiming?

I tried my camera right before answering your question. If there is decent light, it auto focuses, but sometimes it takes a little while. You can zoom as you film, but it focuses faster and with more clarity when using the lower optical zoom range. I still love this camera... However, if you decide to buy it, make sure you get the fastest memory card for HD digital cameras (it only take the tiny ones), otherwise it is too slow taking pictures.

yes but after using it my autofocus stopped working after turning the camera on with regular ef lenses. so i stopped using and got a different one off ebay without the AF confirm chip

Yes - it does but I didn't have a chance to try out the telephoto lens until this weekend and I couldn't get it to auto focus. I haven't had a chance to research that yet. Great camera and accessories for the price.

Yes, it does auto-focus. I now use it on a micro four-thirds camera which requires that I use an adaptor. This slows the auto-focus.

This is indeed a common problem with digital compact cameras but with this one I don't notice any delay. Maybe because I always start with half pressing the shutter before I take the shot. In this way the focusing is done already.

It can auto focus at one point before recording as long as you use AF lens, but you have to manually focus after.

Yes. Very responsive. On auto it adjusts to the distance and you get a very good picture.

Yes and it will autofocus. I use it with my d600 and 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200mm. You just adjust the aperture on the camera just like any other lens.

not sure what the question is . Yes it has a auto and manual focus switch. If on auto on my A77 I can't override the focus for final adjustment of focus while still on auto focus. The camera will bring the focus back to what it wants unless I press the override button on the camera, or switch the lens to manual. Hope this helps

Yes... However, the automatic features for auto focus will be disengaged. You will have to manually adjust your focus. But well worth it for specialty shots.

No, it does not. Shutter speed is a big problem; it's fine for still shots not action shots and Auto doesn't help.

Antonio:no,it don't autofucus.You have to set aperture in the lens and then manual phocus(you have the advantage of focus peaking).The camera has to be set in speed priority and no-lens option.I used it in a Nex 6 and Nex 7.Luck.

YES it does though it says the timer button .. you really have to hit the exposure button on the right side of the dial.I just made a video using the process today. I havent been able to take a shot while shooting video though...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY69KSvKoEk&list;=UUEjpSE4pOhftupgVjQw1UGA

Hi Michelle! Yes, this camera have an auto focus. It has a good performance in Macro function and in shoots with good lighting.

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

The delay is not due to the shutter. The problem with this camera is it's S L O W auto focus. I'd the camera has the subject in focus it fires immediately when the shutter release is pushed. If you are trying to photograph a moving subject the forget about ever getting the shot with this camera. This camera is excellent for landscapes or anything that doesn't require fast autofocus.
