A77 FULL AF on video/movie mode while on Shutter Priority! [ONLY on v1.03]

I wish I was the one that discovered this but to give credit where credit is due, I only discovered this through youtube:

Edited a bit but the following was lifted from the above post: [Note the firmware as of this post and testing was on v1.03 and is unknown if v1.04 'fixed' the issue - leave a comment if this works for you on the new firmware]

Someone managed to get the auto-focus to work on video shutter priority mode for the SONY A77.

Just follow the steps below:
1. Go into menu and switch the AF/MF button function to toggle.
2. Turn the dial into your dedicated video icon.
3. Go to P mode.
4. Press the AF/MF button and switch to MF.
5. Press the Fn button and navigate to the top left.
6. Switch into S mode for video.
7. By now you should be in S mode video with MF on.
8. Turn off your A77
9. Turn it back on.
10. You should see the camera in S mode video with continuos AF.

Side Note: not sure if this affects the results but my physical AF/MF dial below the lens is on A (not S, C of MF)

I can confirm that this works and its such a wonderful discovery, which basically means, The Sony A77 CAN provide full Phase Detect AF with some control/input from the user. Also, if you choose to say use Aperture priority or Manual mode instead of Shutter priority, the trick will still work, BUT you cant change the aperture no matter what. Now I wonder if this also works with the A33/55/65?

Unfortunately, since the update to 1.04 this trick doesnt work anymore, aw :(
