Shawn: I think you have your camera on "manual focus." I think you need to switch it to "auto focus."

Thanks!
I'll have to try that. Its off a Nikon Digital L18 camera, never really fooled with the video part of it. Will try and see if i can change it.

Hey Shawn,

I had that problem also. My unit has a feature where You Focus the camera first, then hit the record button. Made all the difference for me. Also, on mine once you start it won't allow zooming or changes. So, I try a couple of versions on static shots. ( panning on fixed objects )
I hate owners manuals, but sometimes that's the best way to get it right.

I kinda like Yours out of focus though.

Cheers!
