It's not unusual to get a short focus bar like that. The rule of thumb would be that if you can view it clearly, go ahead. But usually, I notice that the movie doesn't go deep enough to answer. Bad Focus is usually the way.

Usually if its long enough to change the focus I will try to view it, otherwise Ive been just hitting bad focus and crossing fingers I dont get dinged..lol
