Sony is pushing its current cameras to the limit with the release of firmware version 3.0 for the Sony a7 III and the a7R III. Being a major update, there are some noteworthy changes coming to both cameras. Primarily, this affects autofocus, which will now benefit from the AI-backed Real-time Eye AF function and Real-time Animal Eye AF. Sony uses machine learning to identify and track the eyes of humans and animals alike in your images. Additionally, it adds a built-in interval timer, meaning photographers no longer need to rely on external devices to program and capture time-lapses.
