I don't know -- because it's in the manual, all the HMC40's have it. There's a "point autofocus" system where you just point to the area of the screen that you want it to autofocus on (in 1080p or 1080i or 720p) and it'll focus on that section of the screen. Only real restriction on it is that it requires the unit to be in autofocus mode, but it's pretty handy. The AF100 can also do it, but instead of touching the LCD you have to drive the focus area cursor around with the "function knob". But it's pretty neat tech...

I use it for the vast majority of my shots with the 40, and I've always got set on manual focus.

I guess the fact that I dont have the manual is why!!
Still... I do have the HMC book and dont recall reading about it. I will double check
Thanks!
