No, I don't think so, but why would you want it?
Precisely, there's no need for a guessed hyperfocus point when the latest Sonys deliver amazing AF. From memory I think the Sonys default out of the box to continuous AF thus further speeding up AF - and helping eat that small battery. :-(
Really I am looking a seeting like
Yes, but why?
For stree photography, to gain speed and no loss time focusing without worrie about focus area
These cameras have lightning fast autofocus, even in low light. Just use zone area focus (with the zone at the 12 o'clock position), AF-A or AF-C, and forget about it. You'll get much better results than if you have to guess and program a focal distance in advance.
And suppose something comes 8 ft away? The RX100M6 would instantly focus on it, and the Ricoh would be out of focus.
What if the closer subject is at 10 feet, 5 feet, 15 feet etc, etc? Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like it's usefulness is quite limited. I don't do street photography so maybe I'm missing something. According to reviews the GR III AF isn't great, certainly not in RX100V/VI class, so maybe for that camera it could be useful.
At those settings with the APS-C sensor in the Ricoh the DOF is only 0.38 ft even at f8 and printing at a small 8x10 size according to this DOF calculator.
sorry that’s wrong. It’s slower than snap focus. It’s just a fact. Practice street work and you’ll understand. Snap focus, ore focus, hyperfocal, and focus to infinity are variations in the same concept and are superior to AF for this kind of work
A couple of seconds? LOL. Seriously no. Snap focus cannot be replaced by AFC or any SONY algo. Sorry. It’s a problem for those cameras and why Ricoh reigns supreme for this kind of work.
With my RX100M6 set to centre spot focus there's no worries about AF speed and accuracy. Not "serious" street shooting in my case, just random things and people I see when wandering, it always works fine.
Certainly shooting through a window is problematic. I avoid the problem you describe by holding the lens against the glass to eliminate reflections. I tend to do it as little as possible because window glass has negative effects on IQ.
It should because I suspect that the camera was designed with street photography in mind. It is not however as good all rounder as the Sony. Very few Sony Cyber Shot users in this forum seem to do much street photography. I know I don't and on the rare times I do at festivals and events it's not the quick incognito style. I do it openly and unhurried.
