  I have a Canon SX230 HS camera and want to record a movie from a train driver's perspective on a model railway.
  
  Everything is working fine, except that the camera refocuses continuously during the shoot, making your eyes hurt when watching the movie.
  
  Is there any way to disable the continuous autofocus when recording a movie?
