Panasonic has a firmware update for this camera. It fixes the autofocus issues.

It now works great.

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.

But yours seems do its job a little better... hmmm

[sprintrjm]

i was moving very slow.

I took my camera up to the lake to video friends wakeboarding.

I had to be very still if i had the camera zoomed either 8-10%

which is tough on a boat.

I just zoomed out to 4-6% and it looks great

Actually I answered my own question. Anybody who wonders what version of firmware they have can visit the Panasonic website and search for the TZ5 and go to their software download section. There you can find instructions to help you locate the firmware version.

I recently purchased the TZ4 at Costco for a trip to NYC. I went back a month later and they had the TZ5 for less than I paid! Needless to say I am now the owner of the TZ5 and excited to try the HD video feature. If I just purchased the camera will I need the firmware update?

PS. I'm from Seattle and will try to post some local videos.

I would tend to stop and start and piece a lot of shorter clips together anyways, so no worries!
