Hi, I think of buying this camera. But one important thing I should know before I will buy it: Is there an autofocus while recording a video? If you move an object closer to the camera, does the camera focus on this new situation? Or does it get blurred? This is a very important aspect for me, so please answer me...thanks in advance
I don't know if any of these tiny cameras can track focus while shooting. Have a new and short test to show the close up capability. Once the EX-S12 starts shooting, it cannot refocus. IN ITS GREAT FAVOR, for some of us: its "motion jpeg" AVI is very easy to edit, even with Windows Movie Maker. Tip: "Publish" from WMM at "best quality for this computer". Then YT can offer "720P" in playback. It's an OK camera and replaces the terrible TZ5 of a year ago
i have this camera and i'm happy with all except in the video mode, it is very easy to loose focus but regains back quick. When i shoot video in 720p HD mode, i've to move the camera very very very very slow so it doesn't loose focus but it still does.

hi have you noticed any problems with the audio when recording - ie any noise or the sound is not clear when you play the movies back?
