Camera focus issues

Hey everyone, does any of you experience focus issues with the xperia z3c while shooting timelapse videos??? I have come across focus issues with my z3c, which causes the rendered timelapse to have a shaky or jittery effect which is really bad. I have never experienced this problem with my old xperia zr, and so i am really disappointed with this z3c in this aspect. Below is a YouTube link which shows what i am trying to emphasize. In the clip you can see the video looks very shaky and jittery because the camera is not focused properly when the photos were taken. Is this a hardware problem or can it be fixed with a software update? https://youtu.be/z9nuOWMvh8w

This is the sukros app developers direct reply.

"We've been having the exact same issue. On our Xperia ZR there were no issues with focus but since the Z3/Compact have come out Sony seem to have changed the camera libraries, and there are some issues as a result.

We've tried to mitigate the issue in our latest update. On the Z3 Compact you could try a resolution of 720p, a longer interval and leave the default focus as it is.

We'd love to see your timelapses without the refocusing. Please let us know how you get on.

Regards,
Sukros"
