Animal Eye Auto Focus benefits

✔️ You always capture the animals in focus, even when they run by, or jump up at the last minute.

✔️ When you use this feature on an Alpha camera, you can capture animals from a different perspective.

✔️ The feature can even be used when you're photographing in an environment where other subjects are in the photo, or even partly in front of the subject. Think of a window frame, plants or toys.

✔️ The still photography feature works well with the Animal eye AF. So you can also capture those unexpected moments.

✔️ Even with unpredictable puppies, you can produce perfectly clear images, thanks to the wide autofocus range in combination with the feature.

Innovation award

Sony's Animal Eye Auto Focus has won the EISA Photo Innovation 2019-2020! Sony is highly appreciated by both hobbyists and professionals alike. The improved Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Animal Eye AF focus precisely on the eyes of a person or an animal. Photographers can even choose the object's favourite eye (left or right) as the focal point. The AI-driven technology provides accurate and reliable tracking for moving objects. Thanks to the continuous autofocus function, the Real-time Eye AF continues to focus on a moving object, even when part of the face is temporarily darkened, or one looks away from the camera. This technology was also first applied in a smartphone on Sony's Xperia 1.
