Sony RX100 4

Hello, can anyone help me with focusing please.

I'm looking for a basic feature I haven't found on my SONY RX100m4. It's the single shot autofocus for video. You know that basic autofocus when you press a button > camera focuses > you press recording. Just like all the cameras have. I can only see AFC and MF in video mode.

Okay, I go to M-mode. There are 4 options. AFS, AFC, DMF, MF. AFS behaves just like AFC and keeps focusing all the time. Weird. DMF actually does what I'm looking for. But what about video mode?

Thank you

Just set up your buttons to be able to switch to af. So one button to choose Af point and then when focussed switch to MF.

Yup, that's what I did too. And another one for exposure lock.

Thanks guy. I'll probably stay in M-mode to at least lock aperture and shutter without pressing anything.

UGHH

We are sorry to learn that you are unable to find a certain focus mode to suit video shooting.
With reference to your enquiry regarding the various focus modes, we would like to clarify that if you shoot movies when Focus Mode is set to Single-shot AF or DMF, the Focus Mode will automatically change to (Continuous AF) and then continue to focus.
