Video Controls

White balance, gain, color modes, and even a neutral density filter option are all controlled manually in video mode. While a recording is in progress, optical and digital zoom are both unlocked, though they progress more slowly to reduce mechanical noise. Autofocus during video recording is extremely sluggish, in fact it barely functions at all.

Auto Controls

Video capture is availing in all shooting modes, not just the one dedicated to video, and this includes full auto. Therefore it's possible to completely automate all aspects of video shooting, just like you would for stills.
