This is Sony’s New Real-Time Tracking in Action

In unveiling the new a6400 last week, Sony also announced its next-generation AI-based tracking features that are also coming to existing cameras in a firmware update.

Sony Artisan Patrick Murphy-Racey shared this 2-minute video showing just how impressive the tracking is.

Murphy-Racey had a chance to test out a Sony a9 running the upcoming v5.0 firmware in Los Angeles earlier this month.

“This was a test of how the A9 was able to use the new hybrid tracking feature by combining the use of distance,

movement,

Face Detection,

Eye AF,

color, and pattern,”

the photographer writes.

“By using all of these together the AI (artificial intelligence) residing in the camera’s programming

is able to see the human body type,

pattern of clothing & hair,

movement,

employ Eye AF and Face Detection

all at the same time.”
