For Canon-60D and Nikon-5200, I knew that both of them has the autofocus on camera mode. But my question is which one of them has the Autofocus on Video (camcorder) mode?

Best Regards

Added (1). If those two do not have the Video-AF mode then which pro-summer SLRD have the Video-AF mode.

I can only imagine how AF would work on a video. The results would be jumpy. You should AF the beginning scene switch to manual focus mode then start recording. Manual mode should be easier and would give a better results.

If not convinced, consider getting an SLT. The AF technology here is different and would benefit videos more than with dSLR's.

You really don't want AF in video - trust the voice of experience. I have a camera with that feature and it's just terribleā€¦ Very jumpy. Anything at all, people - what ever, in your frame that moves your lens will move as well. Very poor looking. Manual focus in video is the only thing you need or want.

Only the Sony SLT series - a58, a65, a77 and a99 - offer full-time, continuous, phase-detect auto focus when shooting still images or video.

From a review of the Canon 60D by Imaging-Resource: "Continuous autofocus isn't available, so you have to manually trigger single AF operations as needed with a half-press of the shutter button."

Reviews of the Nikon D5200 were somewhat inconclusive as to how its autofocus works during video capture.
