Hi there. Found this site on Google. I'm hoping some photography pros can help me out.

I currently have the Canon SD 870 IS and noticed that I can't get it to autofocus in movie mode like that of the Sony Cybershots. I can only get the Canon to focus right before recording but it does not refocus during filming like I see in some of the Sony Cybershots. Can the SD 870 even do this or do I just have the settings wrong? If the SD 870 is not capable of autofocus, is there another Canon camera, that's part of the ELPH line, that can? I heard that a camera like the S5 IS or something autofocuses, but it's too bulky for me.

Thank You

None of the SD cameras will change the focus once video starts
