Hi Mark, last weekend I had a photo shoot on a stud farm. The shoot contains horses in action as well as portret images. I used my "P" and "A" settings with Animal Eye Tracking combined with Zone as focus area. Unfortunate the Animal Eye Tracking didn't became active at all. I played around with settings like under- and over exposure, zooming in-out and different focus areas. Neither the Animal Eye Tracking nor the Animal Face Detection became active one a horse eye. During the shoot I used the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS and the Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM objectief. Does Animal Eye Tracking experience issues on horse eyes or are there specific settings required to activate this one horse eyes?

This is the December 2020 forum. I have answered the question in the current June 2022 forum.

Hi Mark, I need your guidance with a problem I am having obtaining an accurate view of low light scenes (sunsets) in my A7RIII EVF and rear live view. The colors and lighting are not representative of what I am seeing. Yet, when I use my iPhone what I see on the screen is almost exactly what I am seeing with my naked eye. Are there any settings / adjustments that will allow me to see a scene rendered closely to what I see naturally? Thank you in advance! Carl

Hi Carl This is the December 2020 Q&A forum. You will always find the current Q&A forum as the pinned post directly below the banner image when using a web browser on a computer to access my Patreon Support Group. You should have been sent a link when you first joined Patreon to watch a video that shows how to navigate this support group. Mirrorless cameras use a feature called Live View Display > Setting Effect On to preview both the exposure and the depth of field in order to match the image which will then be captured. In very low light situations which require very long exposures, such as night photography, this may no longer be accurate. If this is the case you can try either switching off the Live View Display > Setting Effect or use a feature called 'Bright Monitoring'. The Bright Monitoring feature does not appear in the main menus unless you first go to the Custom Key Setting and then assign Custom key to the function. This will provided you with a view that allows you to compare an image even when the ambient light is very dark. e.g. Astro photography. You may also want to choose a manual white balance setting for night photography.
