theocean 2 Posted February 22 Greetings, On a Sony A1, how can autofocus tracking be achieved in video mode? Given that the tracking is triggered with the touch pad, how can it be done behind a housing? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No you need to use the touch screen that is not available The next question is in which scenarios are you thinking of using tracking? For wide angle is not necessary Are you trying to shoot some macro? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For macro, perhaps through manual focus, focus assist, and other features (zebra, focus magnification, etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Sony makes it happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
