Post Focus image
One of new specifications is Post Focus image. It works similar as focus bracketing; in this case 4K movie make 8 MPx size photography, where all 49 focal points make focus stacked image, which can be joined Automatic on camera or user can choose which part of scenes will be stacked together into one image. It can be used handsfree, but for better images (i.e. no mistakes at stacking) the use of tripod is recommended.[1]
