Video Camera Focus Issue?

When I start off by recording an object that is close the camera obvisouly focus's correctly before recording starts, but if you record a far away object whilst still recording the camera doesnt auto focus as you thought it should. It only seems to focus just before recording starts.
I've upgraded my firmware to 2.73.405.5 from htc website and can't remember if this happend to the previous firmware, can anybody confirm?
Thanks

HDR video? i9505xxubmea

Apparently from numerous reportson the web there is now a HDR mode for video recording on the galaxy s4 when updating to i9505xxubmea. I have updated but there isn't difference what so ever. Am I missing something?
I select hdr then start video recording but looks identical to being set to auto, even in harsh lighting werehdr would work well
Any ideas ?

Auto focus is more intended for still shots... Canon makes a dslr camera that has a video auto focus feature, and it dont work all that well. Reasoning is auto focus is meant to clarify a shot, a single still shot, it can help in a video but very hard because of constant motion, especially when zooming in digitally.
I have not installed any recovery and to use xcam I need to make a backup nandriod.
I tried 2 other devices and have the same problem.
Are there other alternatives to xcam?
no matter how many cam mods you installs this problem still exists for G2, no solution yet

Meizu MX4 video recording continuous AF not working

Stock camera of all version of FlymeOS, on video mode, it only autofocus once, at the beginning of video recording. Continuous AF is not working, the only way to focus is tap to focus. Is there any tweak or hack to enable continuous video AF using stock camera?
Other camera apps like Google Camera, continuous focus works like a charm on video mode so this problem is related to the stock camera I guess. there are several benefits of using the stock camera like 4k recording and slow-mo, but the lack of continuous AF in video recording is killing me.
Someone know how to solve this problem?
I guess it has something to do with 4k video recording, ince it doesnt work with other app, it must be a proprietary software issue. You can tap to focus, and in real life this actually works out better than continuous autofocus because you dont get that weird effect of the device focusing when you dont want it to. It would be nice to have the option to change it though. Meizu will never learn.
