Does a hot-shoe shotgun mic really reduce / remove AF noise on video?

How serious are you?

If you really want to worry about sound quality, you'll have to go to some effort to get it right.

But if you want family moving snapshots of a 3 year old (they become four year olds, and five year olds, and get faster, by the way) a hot shoe mic a few more inches away from the lens will improve your sound compared to the in-camera mic.
