AF-C is a myth for any mirrorless camera except the Nikon 1 system and then only in good light. Contrast focus is just not the right mechanism for this. A number of people use AF-S on the Olympus OM-D since it focus very quickly and they just mash the shutter to take the shot right away. However, I think the focus on the NEX is just too slow to make this work.

In theory the NEX-6 might be able to handle tracking in good light. I have not used one myself for this and the reviews I've seen make we doubt it would be able to handle this.
