Opened OK for me.

It has to do with Continuous AutoFocus being hard at worh while you
record. Make it Single AutoFocus and see what happens.

I am a newbie to newsgroups but when I first got this camera and had a
couple of questions someone pointed me to this NG. I asked a couple
questions and was amazed at how people knew and were able to help me then
too. I was so thankful / grateful for their help. Heck - I would have bought
dinner! Since then I look on occasion for subjects that interest me. I can't
help much (Well I can now if anyone asks this question). I see a new NG for
point and shoot - that's more me (For now) so I have that one book marked. I
even learned how to find replies to me after they leave my ISP as I had no
idea and waited a week to look for answers the first time I posted. That
wasn't easy! Someone on this group told me how thru Google. Wish I could get
the replies to me or an alert that some replied?
