This is how I have my camera set up to get the best AF tracking and Eye AF tracking using the new Sony A7IV. But these settings are also going to work great with the A7SIII and A1.

Recently, I watched Chris Turner's a7iv settings as a wedding/portrait photographer. I used to have different AF settings for my a7iii. Now, I set a7iv AF to Tracking Med Flexible Spot all the time and Eye-AF off (but programed to the AEL button). I don't use the joystick, but tap/touch instead. It's fast and accurate.

I now have a FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS and FE 55mm f1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens - both good, but find I use the 24-105 by far the most even though it's much heavier. I was intending to use the camera for stills and video but have not done much video yet. Takes a bit of getting used to after having a Canon DSLR for years, but there are so many good KZfaq videos nowadays you can learn over time. I like all the customisable buttons on the A7 IV. Also find the 33 megapixels resolution very handy as you can crop a lot meaning less need for longer zoom lenses. I'd say go for it!

Thanks for this amazing video: A few quick questions: 1. Are you using the shutter button (half-click) for focusing or back button focus? 2. When I was focusing and recomposing the shot with the shutter half pressed, it moved the focus after I recomposed. My setting was on AF-C. You think I should change that to AF-S to avoid that? 3. What autofocus setting (area and eye AF) would you recommend for street photography? Thank you so much again!

There is a difference between a camera drawing a square on a screen and the camera actually being in focus. I was a bit dissapointed when I tried different settings on the 7iv compared to my S1R which I thought would perform much worse, according other channels. My now bored dog subject was front focused and back focused more often than I had imagined by the hype from reviewers. Perhaps the contrast system was no so bad after all

Lee, question for you. The first mode you showed us. Wide. You said it will focus everything in the shot. Then you turned on face detection and it focused on your subject. You then added a second subject and he was closer so focus went to him. My question if you never turned on eye face detection and added the second subject. Would BOTH subjects be in focus ? Or still the person closer ? I’ve watched a few focus videos for this camera and the big question is can it focus in two people or is one always more in focus than the other. Thank you for your video.
@LeeZavitz
@LeeZavitz 8 ай бұрын
It will only focus on one person because of physics. It can see more than one person but only one will be in focus unless the two people are in the same focal plane. It will always default to focusing on the closes person but you can override that

Will this have better auto focus than my iPhone 13 promax for my type of close up product review videos? Current problem is I can be holding a box with a nice crispy shot but then, if I move my hands down a little bit while I am talking, it gets blurry. Or if I move it closer to the camera a little bit, it gets blurry. Or for example if I’m opening up a carrying case, and I get a nice shot, but then I open up the case to look at the inside, well, since I put my hand in front of it, and opened it up, now it’s blurry, so I have to tap on the screen again to put it back in focus. I spent a lot of recording time tapping to focus. Therefore, a lot of my editing is spent just looking for the best shots and combining them all together. It pretty much sucks. Would this camera fix that issue? With a good lens And what would be a good lens? I’m thinking 35mm f1.8 but not sure

That display looks kind of cool. That’s one thing I’m worried about coming from. iPhone, downgrade in the screen. But I hear that cannons have pretty good screens. And I also think I hear they have the best auto focus?

Am I the only one who has found the eye AF on the A7iv to be way less reliable than the A7iii? I was expecting a crazy jump in performance when I upgraded but so far it seems worse than the A7iii... Any ideas why this might be happening?

A7iv is way better. I dunno why it would be worse for you?. That said the newer a7cii using the same sensor as a7iv but with a new AI processor and it has even better eye af than the a7iv

@@LeeZavitz Yeah I'm not sure why it's happening but my A7iii grabs eye af so much quicker and more consistently...

any camera and any phone can focus 80%, daytime, but the question is how well does the A7iv focus in low light...that's what it's all about when you're doing an event

These settings, in video mode, do not work. I can not get an AF that works as well as in the photos. Thanks

In video mode depending on what you are shooting. I usually put the focus mode into Zone. I feel it covers most situations and keep face af off. But if I’m filming a person I keep face af on.

Can’t you just register a certain persons FACE so it will choose that FACE even if other faces jumps into scenes

@LeeZavitz Жыл бұрын
You can if you have the time to set it up. But sometimes it’s not reliable if face is half turned to the camera

Ohhhh.... so that's why every photographer I know and their mothers are switching to mirrorless..... It makes sense lol.... The autofocus of my DSLR looks very obsolete in comparison....

Don't know why you turn off eye AF ever....should stay on all the time with subject tracking no?
@LeeZavitz
@LeeZavitz 6 ай бұрын
On newer Sony cameras I would leave it on. Especially now with all the AI subject tracking. The a7iv isn’t as good when it comes to edge of eye af that’s why I toggle it on when I know it’ll work and leave it off so I can move the af point to the eye when I know it’s going to miss or cause me to miss the shot
