As apparently a new thread for everything NX30 Related.. Hyper Autofocus?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCFXYBp453M

Ok so Andre Meadows (Black Nerd Comedy ... he was on Tabletop once) goes through the Galaxy Camera 2 and the NX30.

At about 2:30 he starts taking about some of the features, and mentions "Hyper Autofocus" which he describes as, you touch the screen and it doesn't matter where what you focused on moves to it will track the object. Is this in the NX300? These seems like a directed focus tracking. If it is new will it work in burst mode?

Now I post this with a grain of salt, Andre is not a camera person, earlier he describes the NX30 has having a APS-CMOS sensor... so it is possible he is intending to say Hybrid Autofocus, and Hyper Autofocus is not something I've heard anywhere else.

But he is doing a video from one of Samsung's Channels so I figured I'd post it.

As I always understood it:

- APS-C = Size description (APS-C: Advanced Photo System type C)

- APS CMOS = Technology description (APS CMOS: Active Pixel Sensor CMOS)

so maybe he knows what he means by "Hyper".
But I don't expect to be 100% right.

Nx300 has focus tracking via touch, but not in videos as far as I know (if there is that function, I don't know how to use it).

Ya he might have meant it that way, it is an odd way to do it. Still Hyper Focus is a new label for it that I haven't head before.
I really would love to see real world reviews of this thing,
