Gracias Javier!👏🏻.I have no idea you can change touch to focus to focus tracking and even turn it off directly from the display! You make my workflow faster as there was no option to add this function to one of the physical buttons on the camera. My only option was to go to my favourites and turn on or off this function manually. You've got a new subscriber 👍🏻and looking forward to watch more of your content. I wish you tons of good health.

I've got my A7Siii now, and testing the focus tracking results have not been great. Using the Sony 20mm G lens. I'm testing on a pool table, rolling the balls from the front to the back. Using the Wide focus area screen is worst, as the ball rolls back, the camera starts tracking the green cloth! Spot focus set Small working best. If the ball is rolling slowly, it will track all the way. Faster rolls and focus is lost. Also, irregular objects track better. I'll keep practicing but My backup for tracking fast moving targets will be using a wide lens, deep depth of field, focusing at infinity, just like on my old camcorders. And crop in. I would encourage gear reviewers. Its nice to hear what works. But press until you find failure points, and make those of those as well.
@Jambo19993 жыл бұрын
More focus tracking oddities. If you look at the Sony Guide, under "Selecting the focus area (Focus Area)", 7 modes are available under "Tracking". The guide indicates its available in movie and stills modes, but all of the options only appear in M stills mode. Other stills modes have fewer options. Pressing the shutter 1/2 way goes get a tracking box, and it tracks my pool balls better than in movie mode. BTW if you press the red button in stills mode it will record video, but tracking turns off.

Yes if you do not have ‘record’ assigned to your shutter button if you press it lightly it locks your focus (on say spot focus) then if you move to another object or pan and let go the shutter it will pull-focus to your new object. It’s very very useful and creative to do pull-focuses this way in auto-focus!!!!
