BEST PHOTOINNOVATION 2019-2020. ON EISA VERSION
Sony Real-time Eye AF
The latest real-time autofocus algorithms in Sony’s autofocus system radically change the quality of your pictures. Improved real-time autofocus mechanisms focus on human or animal eyes, ensuring high clarity in portrait photography. Moreover, photographers can choose the left or right eye of the subject as the focus area. Thanks to improved features managed by artificial intelligence, you can take clear pictures of moving subjects: in the long autofocus mode, the real-time eye autofocus mechanism keeps the focus on the moving subject, even if part of the face is hard to see or the model has turned away from the camera. In addition, this unique technology was used for the first time in the creation of the Sony Xperia 1 i smartphone.
