Does this have follow focus (subject tracking)?

Indeed! The Canon XA25 and XA20 both have focus-tracking. In the auto mode, the camera selects/scans a face in the viewing area. The focus locks in and locks on, following that subject while in view. If you prefer it to track a different subject or object, just tap the viewscreen and the focus shifts and tracks with that object/subject. Ingenious! And so critical for event videography. You can, of course, disengage and go full manual. Except for a controlled, studio shoot, who would?

I am not sure but I would be surprised if it didn't. It will not autofocus. I never use any "auto settings" so I don't know what works and what doesn't in terms of electronic features. They me closer focus and that's all I wanted. Based on my usage they are great.

No.. check your scene selection or you may just be focused so closely on an object that moves out of focus range

Yes, it actually has excellent focus assist. It emits a crosshatch light pattern on the subject.

Yes, it does show the track number and it is easy to navigate between tracks. Ours is working just fine as good, basic model. Hope that helps.

By default, Auto Focus is turned on. As soon as you start to record, whatever is in the center of the view finder will come into focus. You can override this behavior by touching the screen to get the camera to track a subject that is not in the center of the screen. This can be done before you start to record, and the subject will then become focused. In low light conditions, or when shooting a scene with multiple subjects, it's a good idea to select the primary subject before recording. Besides focus, the camera will also adjust exposure to match the subject selected. In low light, I've found that selecting the subject brightens the scene the way I want.

It does. It has, like many, a "flower" setting which allows you to get right up close. Exactly how close I'm not sure. The technical specs probably tell you how close you can get before autofocus doesn't work. (which is what happens when you get too close)

Unfortunately no, it's not capable of following a moving object. You essentially pre-program a start and end position. That being said, if you shot a presentation in wide angle at 4K you could later crop that footage down to 1080p and "follow" the person in post production. Similar to pan and scan on old VHS transfers of widescreen.

Yes. You can focus very close, probably about an inch or so from the subject.

Not that I have found. If I use it I cycle it through until the one before I want to use next (or anticipate using next) It is a nice bright light and the focus feature is cool. But you do have to cycle through all the choices each time which is a real bother.

Yes it did, half to focus, then push to shoot shot. This thing was great WHILE IT WORKED!!! I got 2 of them and both of them broke, I wouldn't buy it again, I'm looking at another one instead... Thought you'd like to know..

Pretty much... The knob on the top is labeled "focus" but it actually adjusts the magnification. You focus by adjusting the working distance by moving the Supereyes closer or further from the object on the stand. It's a little convoluted but it works.

yes, and you can set it to auto spot focus or continuous focus or set it to manual focus

No, it is optical. I have had no problems with tracking in the 2 and a half months that I have owned it. Also, I love the feel of the wheel.

It has face tracking for automatic movement, but there is also webcam control software that starts when the cam is turned on, and you use your mouse to click on 4 directional arrows to move the cam in each of the 4 directions, and a button to center it.

Yes, but its pretty proportionate. However, the focus is very difficult. Where it focuses in one area, it becomes out of focus in another.
