I don't have quite as much faith in press releases as you do. It doesn't explicitly say you get continuous AF in other modes; this could just be some copywriter who doesn't fully understand the operation of the camera. Until somebody here tries one (or until we see the manual) I'll regard this as possible, but unconfirmed.
