https://community.sony.nl/t5/camcorders/auto-focus-shifting-on-hvr-a1e/m-p/2534007#M4916 <P>Have HVR A1E for some years but have only run 9 tapes. Camera has been reliable until recording using a fixed position ( tripod all pan/tilt locked in place ) for 20 mins focus was fine then went totally out of focus and five mins later returned to in focus and was correct for rest of 60mins. Normally I never use auto-focus so have never experienced before - nothing worse than losing confidence ! Any help appreciated.</P> Mon, 12 Nov 2018 16:59:36 GMT Dimitri74 2018-11-12T16:59:36Z https://community.sony.nl/t5/camcorders/auto-focus-shifting-on-hvr-a1e/m-p/2534007#M4916 <P>Have HVR A1E for some years but have only run 9 tapes.
