Sony ZV E10 Autofocus Hunting

[TNW]

Hi,

I've recently got a Sony ZV E10 (upgrade from my old RX100 mk3) and am using it for it's intended purpuse, mainly video content with people speaking directly to camera both inside and outdoors. When I use it in an outdoor setting it tends to hunt for focus every couple of seconds, even though the display is showing that the AF is locked on to the face of the person being recorded. This results in the whole recording being out of focus slighty each time it tries to adjust.

I'm using the Program Auto setting (I did this to fix another issue where if left in intelligent auto it kept constantly changing between Landscape, portrait etc) which was also causing similar issues.

Focus mode is set to Continuous AF
Focus Area is 'Zone'
Face / Eye Priority in AF is on
Using the standard Kit lens 16-50mm

It seems be much less of an issue when shooting indoors. It also seems to happen when shooting wide open areas such as a landscape.

Any ideas?
