You should put video camera in manual mode and focus by hand. This will help keep video sharp and in-focus at all times. Hope this helps you. Good luch in your video.

@lordphilip Thanks for the comment. Are you familiar with my model camera? I looked into your advice and it doesn't appear I have a MF option during filming videos. Taking a picture I have control but when I hit the MF button during video it pops up AFL.

I must say I have had this camera a very long time and it never had problems focusing like you seen in the video until I had a recall done on it, which fixed the problem, but now Ive noticed it hates to focus in low light conditions.

@planecrazynl Thanks for the kind words, it means a whole lot to me. I'm not from the Port Orange area, I am here visiting my grandfather and it couldn't have been better timing to witness something like this. And like you said, very historical being the last night time launch I'm glad I could get this video and share it with the world.

i got to see her launch about 10 miles south of new Smyrna. it was so beautiful. it arched right over us and left the most beautiful clouds.

I've seen shuttles land at Edwards AFB in California but Have never seen one launch.

We get Missile launches from Vanderberg AFB but they are nothing like this, the separation was very cool.
