AutofocusPhase Hybrid AF combines phase and contrast detection; 779-area system (maker UK). Current Japan table recognises people, animals, cars, motorcycles, trains and aircraft; launch reviews described only people/animals, so later recognition is not treated as a launch feature. Continuous autofocus while zooming requires compatible lens firmwarePhase Hybrid AF combines phase and contrast detection; 779 points (maker US). Current Japan recognition includes people, animals, cars, motorcycles, trains and aircraft; launch-era reviews described fewer subjects, so later firmware recognition is not treated as a launch feature. Continuous autofocus during zooming requires compatible updated lens firmware
