Animal Eye AF is here, but… (Sony a7 III/a7R III Firmware Update)

I took it to the zoo recently with the Zeiss 24-70 f4 and animal eye after wasn't too bad. You are spot on though it did go for the closest thing so I would suggest small spot not expandable to prevent any miss focus

A lot of y'all fail to realized you're seeing a video of the dog instead of actually seeing the dog IRL. Since it's a video with the dog's eye out of focus, ofc you won't be able to see the eye. But pretty sure the dogs eye is noticeable IRL and Tony just wants to be able to capture it. Stop complaining about the dogs eye if you haven't considered this else go see the doctor

"read the pinned comment", or how about doing an honest review instead of a hatchet job.

Anybody knows where can I set the freaking Eye AF on A7R??? I am really frustrated not being able to even try if it exists on this camera… It never worked or showed up on my a7iii either.

I love reading these comments LOL. Can't wait to try it myself after watching

– Thanks

The option for the simplified language would require some lines of code though! 😀

Uses a dog that has his eyes covered “hey I can’t recommend this”.

What a dipshit. The forums with real photos hate these people and now I’m starting to see why.

Hey, Im selling my Samsung NX500 with my 85mm, 45mm, and 16-50mm lenses. PLUS my Nikon D3200 with 3 extra lenses for it.

Anybody interested?

Don't get me wrong. U just a sony hater .
You test with your dog but you must watch your dog again 😉 even my eyes can't see your dog eyes… I just Canon user.

Why is it every single video ad on youtube is Annie Leibowitz….

Uses one dog with obstructed eyes and one dog with a sea of black under the ears. -> Test failed. Works well for my pet, but he's less demanding!

This video made my gonads ascend so far back inside my body not even the Hubble telescope could focus on them, even though it has the most advanced testicular focus system in the known galaxy. Perhaps this can be fixed in a future firmware update?

send your dog to sony to work on that for the next update

I can't even see you dogs eyes, so you can't expect the camera to perform miracles…but Thank you for the review Tony

in sonys defence, that dog has pitch-black eyes, hidden in pitch-black fur.

That dog is the clown from 'Saw.' dont at me

Seriously? Dude this is not a rational review. It is also an example of why I don't follow your channel any more. Try a re-test using a NON-MOP dog, the type most of us have. Get back to us when you're ready…

Very nice! Still nothing about the aspect ratios though. Not even allowing the Video Markers (which support all ratios) to be viewed in 'photo mode' which I guess wouldn't be that hard for sony.

Yes yes yes update the menu Sony!!!!!

is the animal eye AF available for the a9 i don't find it , thanks in advance

Great Video. Just got the A7r iv and I did several test on cows… which worked fine, BUT I was hoping to get it to work on insects and birds, which seems to be impossible 🙁

I will test with my snake

Sony A7ii having eye at?
