Slow Instant?
The Instant autofocus on my A1 takes a while - sometimes two seconds in low light. Is this normal? I've been dealing with it but I wonder.

So I guess it's normal? Pretty far from instant and slower than my other Canon cameras. I love the camera but I wonder.

I have noticed this at times myself but I don't have an answer. The AF system on the XH A1 is different from Canon still cameras because of the way a video camera operates as opposed to a still camera.

Low light and lack of contrast will definitely slow down the focus. It needs light and some sort of contrasting lines.

Although I don't have the A1, my previous AG-DVC30 had a hard time focusing during low light as it tends to "hunt" for the object. I think this is a common problem on many types of camcorders with low light.
