I haven't used this camera, but if it's like other cameras, then you just have to decide what aperture you want to use, and that determines how touchy the focus will be. Big sensor means its more possible to use a wider aperture and get low depth of field (narrow in-focus field). But any camera lens worth its salt lets you close down the aperture to get greater depth of field, making the focal length sweet spot bigger. The things that are being advertised here are the things that traditionally were harder to come by in the video realm: low DOF. Stop down the aperture and more stuff gets in focus.

I'm not on any camera forums so I am going to ask here as many also shoot footage. In my haven't really spent time behind a camera since file school understanding the bigger sensors are more like film because the larger area gives the reduced depth of field likened to film. With the Sony F-3 they promote it's 35 mm sensor and how it is closer to film than many other sensors. Will this make focus more critical like I've seen with DSLR cameras with 35 mm lenses? Are the operational modes on the F-3 to use less sensor area but have less critical focus needs. I just don't see run and gun reality style shooting working well with a camera that requires critical focus. Is this critical focus more a factor of the sensor area or the lens choice. I realize they interact but what are the practical approaches a run and gun hand held operator would use to keep things in focus in an unfriendly and uncontrolled environment?
