Sony announced that the upcoming firmware version 6.0 for Sony Alpha a9 is expected to be released in September. The firmware 6.0 add Real-time Eye AF for Animals and Interval Shooting for Time Lapse for Sony a9.
Like Real-time Eye AF, Animal Eye AF works with AF-C focus mode and is activated with the half press of the shutter button or when assigned to the AF-ON button. Firmware version 6.0 also brings an interval shooting mode first seen in the Sony a6400. Now, it’s easy to capture between 1 and 9999 photographs in 1 to 60 second intervals. The new feature also includes an auto exposure (AE) sensitivity setting that can be adjusted between High, Mid or Low to account for changing exposures throughout the set capture time.
