While taking video on a mission the other day, I flew with the focus set on Auto Focus (AF). I set the focus point off in the distance and started recording. While the aircraft was turning (yaw slowly to the left) it seemed as though the focus was not as sharp as when not turning. The panning motion was fairly slow. I'm wondering if anyone thinks that setting the focus to manual (at infinity) would result in a crisper focus or if you think it is merely a function of the recording frame rate. I had it set to 4K at 30 fps. Shutter speed was 60 (aperture was 5.6 and it was sunny). I plan to test the difference at a future date but was hoping that someone had experience on this to share. Thanks.
Use Auto Focus or Manual Focus for P4P video?
