Video Is Blurry

I purchased the Samsung HMX-S10 a few years ago. Regardless of what I do the video always gets blurry, even if someone makes the smallest move. Do you know why the camcorder goes in and out of focus so easily and quickly. It takes a few seconds to refocus after there is even the slightest movement, then if Imove, it's blurry again. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have an SD memory card and most settings are on Automatic. Thank you. Donna

Unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. You'll have to send it in to Samsung for repair. Here is the customer service number: 1 (800) 726-7864.
