Sony lancerer ny firmware opdatering til α9 med tilføjelser som Eye AF i realtid til dyr, intervaloptagelsesfunktion og understøttelse af RMT-P1BT

Sony har netop lanceret en ny firmwareopdatering til sit α9 spejlløse fuldformatskamera (model ILCE-9), der leverer nye centrale funktioner såsom Eye AF i realtid til dyr[i], intervaloptagelse og understøttelse af RMT-P1BT[ii].

The version 6.00 update enables Sony’s AI driven Real-Time Eye AF technology to now detect both animals and human subjects, with an option to select either animal or human Eye AF mode depending on the shooting situation. Time-lapse videos can also be created through use of the Interval Shooting function.

In addition to the new functionality, the update improves the overall stability of the camera and makes it more user-friendly, allowing photographers to assign ‘My Menu’ to appear when first selecting the menu button. It is now also possible to select the Focus Frame Colour allowing users to choose between red, grey or the standard green.

Lastly, the upgrade allows operation with the wireless remote commander RMT-P1BT providing a solution to remote shooting.

The Version 6.00 firmware upgrade is downloadable for free on the Sony Support site[iii].
