Suddenly, the autofocus on my GH5 will not work for videos. It works fine for photos, but not for videos. I've tried different lenses, but the same result: Autofocus works for photos but not for videos. I've checked settings, turned the camera on & off a few times and even removed the battery for 30 seconds... no luck. Any thoughts on what I need to do to get autofocus to work again for videos?

Thanks!

Do you mean continuous autofocus ( AFC on the GH5 camera control ) or single point autofocus ? ( AFS on the GH5 camera control )
 
It will not focus in video in single-point mode (AFS). I seldom use AFC. When I'm in video mode, my GH5 is manual focus only; as soon as I switch to a photo mode, autofocus works.

What if you use the touch-to-focus feature using the LCD screen ? Does that work ?

No, touching the screen when the camera is in video mode has no effect. In photo modes, touching the screen will put a focus box on the screen and do a focus. But in video mode, the camera is in manual focus mode only -- even when the switch is in the autofocus position.
