So I was out flying around over some marshlands yesterday (Newark, CA), when Amtrak decided to cruise by, about 1/2 mile away.
I pushed the drone up to about 100', and just let it shoot video of the train cruising by, turning now and then to keep it in frame.
And I got a *lovely* video, too!!

Well... by 'lovely', I mean the camera was absolutely smooth and steady, and all of the foreground plants and such were sharply in focus!! I could see all the tops of the plants contentedly waving at me!! The train, on the other hand, was just a distant blur...

and yes, I can still hear the drone giggling...
Even if I *had* known how to focus the camera, I wouldn't really have been able to focus all that effectively with my tablet...
Hopefully I can find some setting that lets me tell it 'focus on the moving thing', or something like that...

ITM, I'm amused by the experience...
 
Auto focus tap subject on screen. Every time, no reminding necessary. Video will be correct even if not noticed on device. Have fun
