N900 video. Example of fixed focus.

This video shows that the N900 doesn't dynamically re-focus but it doesnt use a standard focus setting. It uses the first focus that it obtains. Watch the video to see the issue and remember that videos can be stopped, re-focused and continued. Having the ability to set a focus makes it better than most true fixed-focus lenses.

That glitch is now fixed in new N8. It have auto focus even with video recording,

@catniptoy Did you try zooming in and out?

[catniptoy]

Well I'll be damned. He's right. Yeah whatever range you're focused on at the start of the recording, that's it. To change focus you pretty much have to start a new recording. Huh. Still, I like my N900. : )

[murfad]

but you cant refocus while filming, can you?

so... is this a bug? :(

[pumpuppthevolume]

thats very interesting so macro mode is an option and you dont have to smack it to get it to work
