It focussed on the mirror's surface. Which is why it's focussed on nothing else.

That is the laser rangefinder used to determine distance for the camera to focus at. The camera sensor is located behind the lenses.

The rangefinder is saying the object is the mirror, which is pretty clean, so it looks out of focus when really the camera is probably perfectly focused on the mirror.

Also, you can see the laser (Purple) because the camera sensor can see wavelengths outside the human eye.
