out of focus

[John Rofrano]

> Would like some input how to improve this video:

Yea, never shoot with auto focus. 😉 Always zoom all the way in as far as you intent to go… manually focus… then zoom back out. This will maintain the proper focus throughout the zoom range of the shot.

As for the video you already shot, you could try adding a Sony Unsharp Mask to the footage and see if it can make it a bit sharper but once the details are lost, they are lost for good.

This works if your camera has an accurately set up backfocus. Unfortunately it is my experience that many camera do not and most prosumer cams do not have an easily adjustable back focus (if it is adjustable at all)
