I have 60 Mts Video shoot on Panasonic 1000 ( 4 K ) actual shoot on HD size. somehow it is out of focus through out the length.. Is it possible in Premiere pro CS-6 which I am using to to make this video look sharp.?
Thank you SAFEHARBORTI for your suggestion, But my VIDEO is really out of focus and I think it can't be improved., and I have to discard it

Does the video also look out of focus in other software players besides Premiere, or when played from camera direct to HD display? Just want to make sure it is the actual clip and not something in Premiere. Make sure that Premiere's Program monitor resolution is set to FULL so you are not getting half or quarter res that would reduce apparent quality.
If clip was really shot soft, the Unsharp Mask filter can help. Not if it's really bad, but if just a little out of focus it can work wonders!! Saved my sanity a couple of years ago when I shot 3 dance recitals in one day and ALL of them were slightly soft. Had looked fine on camera LCD when shooting. Turned out being a lens issue with rental camera - I did have it focused as good as possible, but was not quite in sharp focus.
Be forewarned that Unsharp Mask can take a very long time to render, took overnight (15-18 hours render) for each dance clip I did (2+ hours each).
