Are you sure about this? Obviously the camera doesn't have information
about all fo the lenses that will be attached to it. The lens doesn't
know which camera it will be attached to. Clearly follow focus in a
continuous feedback but I would be surprised if single focus doesn't
also use continuous feedback until focus is achieved.
