HVX Loosing focus

Ok, had a three camera shoot, im the only one there working the cameras.

I set up an 200(wide) and my 500(cu) for my main interview and set up an additional 200 for a contrary angle. I zoom-in, check my focus, zoom out, frame my shot, walk away to man the other two cameras.

Turns out when i zoomed out that third shot got completely out of focus, not just soft but drastically out of focus. I can't even really use it.

Now normally i'd think this was a back focus issue but i thought HVX's didn't have a way to calibrate back focus!? This is a brand new 200a, i havent noticed much of a difference between the 200 and the 200a but this is really making me regret getting them.

Any ideas on whats going on or how to fix it?
 
In a properly-functioning camera, there should be no back-focus adjustment, it should just work all the time. Sounds like you may have gotten one with an issue. Might need a trip to the service department.
 
Thanks Barry, I didn't think it was something i could fix but just had to make sure. I'll look into sending it in....wish i didnt have to but i can understand that this happens sometimes.
