What do you find to be the best way to keep focus on the subject areas?
Do you use separate microphone or the built in system.

I used for the boxing only FA31mm, but also use DA40mm, DA*55mm and FA*85mm. I only used on a few occasions the DA*300mm, but that is a painfull use, but gives good images. In moviemode you don't have distortioncorrection, so that is one thing to considder. I should have used DA*55 a little bit more on this boxing video for close-up, so that distortion was less.
I make short clips and don't use refocussing during filming. In the soccermovie I just made on a few occasions an AF-point and settled with it and accepted that it wasn't spot on.
I have a rode stereo videomic that is very good for recording the person infront of me, but lacking my voice a little. I also sometimes just use the internal mic, when sound isn't the biggest issue.
