Hi Charllz,
In order to focus the way it is presented in the video the AF Frame Size option, in the second section of the camcorder tab in the menu, will need to be changed from Automatic to either Large or Small (Small is being used in the video).
When set to Automatic no AF frame is displayed on the screen and the camcorder focuses automatically on a subject in the center of the frame (no touch possible).
When set to either Large or Small, an AF frame is displayed and can be moved to focus on a specific subject within an area of about 80% of the screen which you can touch to tell the camcorder where to focus. Changing the AF Frame size is described on page 49 of the camcorder's manual HERE.
In the video clip there are two types of focusing going on. At first the automatic Face Detection AF is active, highlighting the person's face. Then as the camera pans down, and there is no longer a face to focus on, the user can tap on the screen to pick another point of focus. Once the person's face comes back into the frame the Face Detection AF takes back over and switches to the face.
