Curious if it can auto-focus while shooting video in HD?
Obviously won\'t be using phase detection, but seems like contrast-based AF could be used.
Galbraith says this:
Autofocus is functional both before and during recording, but as its the contrast detect type it will be slow. The lack of true tracking autofocus will limit its usefulness during capture. That said, the fact that the camera can be refocused without first stopping the capture or resorting to manual focus is a step up from no autofocus at all.
