NEX-VG10E adds AF support

Sony’s large-sensor Handycam NEX-VG10E has gained the ability to autofocus with A-mount lenses from Sony and Carl Zeiss, via a free firmware upgrade.

It will allow autofocus with 14 A-mount SAM and SSM lenses, provided you fit the optional LA-EA1 Mount Adaptor, and do a separate firmware upgrade for the LA-EA1. With an A-mount lens attached to NEX-VG10E, autofocus takes approximately 2 to 7 seconds.
