No Sony folk are here so the only way to know is to call it in.
Since I bought the camera it's been having focusing issues.
Essentially when I turn on the camera everything will immediately be out of focus, but may/may not stabilize after a few seconds. When zooming in or out, it'll 'jump' to an invalid focus point. It's not the typical focus hunting, but rather a misalignment of glass IMO.
I've uploaded a clip to illustrate the problem

Any ideas, advise? I'm just over the 1 year guarantee. Would this type of manufacturing defect be covered?
