![]() The list of updates for the A9 are very extensive and are listed at the bottom of this post. No news is forthcoming for updates to the α6300 and α6500 camera but this should not be ruled out. The new system firmware update version 5.0 for the α9 is scheduled for launch in March 2019 and version 3.0 for the α7III and α7RIII cameras is scheduled for April 2019. The α9 will also receive some features that first made their appearance on the α7III and α7RIII cameras such improvements to Select Media and Rating + the My Dial functionality from the α6400 and is scheduled to receive the Animal Eye-AF by the Summer of 2019 (northern hemisphere season). AE tracking sensitivity can also be adjusted to “High”, “Mid” or “Low” during interval recording, allowing for reduced changes in exposure over the shooting interval. The new feature can be set for anywhere between 1 and 60 seconds, with a total number of shots from 1 to 9999. The cameras will also receive ‘Interval Shooting’ functionality that will allow for simple creation of time-lapse movies. The new firmware will also enable photographers to select the preferred eye (left or right) of their subject as the focus point. In all autofocus modes, the cameras will now automatically detect the eyes of the subject and activate Eye AF with a half press of the shutter button, and the camera will then track the eyes at all times when in AF-C mode. All the cameras listed will receive advanced ‘Real-time Eye AF’ or ‘Evolved Eye AF’ as Sony describe it in the Firmware roadmap. ![]() ![]() This includes the ‘Real-time Tracking’ mode for the A9 (as seen on the new α6400 camera). This mode utilizes Sony’s latest algorithm-including Artificial Intelligence-based object recognition-and processes color, subject distance (depth), pattern (brightness) as well as spatial (distance) information. These upgrades will include major enhancements to autofocus performance. Major upgrades to the Sony α9, α7III and α7RIII cameras (through firmware updates) were announced in San Diego on January 15.
