Yes, and as I recall on the DVX100 I read 'just say no'(paraphrased) because at 24 fps it is 'really' slo. When I shoot at that frame rate, I set manual focus, then manually touch the 'focus now' button wait until the focus 'resolves' before shooting... well most of the time... unless I'm looking for that out of focus, blurred motion war footage look... (I'd recommed that for wedding videographers, then add a few machinegun, artillery, soldierly yells, effects, to give the true feeling of The Bride's Special Opera... I mean... Day...)
