Blurred Image At About 15 Feet.

I have a fairly new CX-580V.  Videos have been working very well until I took a video of a concert -- about 15 feet from the performer.  Image was very blurred -- out of focus.  I had not zoomed at all.  Sound was fine.  Any help would be appreciated!  I attach a cropped screenshot.
