Sony has recently released a new line of cameras called the Sony Alpha 7 IV. It has many improvements over the previous Alpha 7 model. It’s faster, more high-quality, and has longer battery life. One surprising addition is the facial recognition function. Their upgraded auto-focus feature is one of the fastest on the market, allowing for quick and accurate capturing of photos of moving objects. It also came along with flexible connectivity for on-the-spot transmission of images from your device to any destination.
Features:
The camera comes with hybrid autofocus features, AI-based real-time Eye autofocus, real-time tracking for photos and videos, continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second with AF tracking, phase-detection AF covering approximately 94 percent of the sensor area, and a high-density focal-plane phase-detection AF system that enables subjects to be tracked more efficiently even in dense lighting conditions. Sony says the Alpha 7 IV can now track birds’ and animals’ eyes when shooting still images and movies; keep up with human eye movement! Face and eye detection accuracy when taking shots of humans has been improved by approximately 30%.
