Can I use the peaking function on dvx-200 while switched to auto focus?

Well, Barry Green's book say us a lot about focusing. But never the less it's theory. I struggle a lot with proper focusing. If you have a planned shooting, than you can adjust your focus plane as desired. But in a very quick changing run 'n' gun situation it is not easy. Most of the time I do dancing Videos. And the very quick moving dancers hold in focus its a mess. You do not know if a dancer is in the next monent toward the cam, or away, stepping to the left or right side. All is live, so no prerecording or so possible.
Therefore for me the only way is autofocus. You are fully concentrated to follow the subject, to hold it in the middle of the frame.I have adjusted the speed. But often happens (especially in zoomed in situations to see the "working" faces) the focus jump to the wall of the dancing hall. I do it in UHD to have a little more room in post. But even ih FHD the focus problem still exist.
With the AC130/160 I do not have this prblem.
Does anybody know how to solve this? Or is the DVX200 autofocus not as good as the AG160?
Tks for any idea.

The DVX200 autofocus has several parameters you can customize. I've played with them a bit, but haven't landed on any "favorites".
I'd love to hear from anyone that has modified the settings and what they found.
