How surprised were you at the speed of the AF system?

I was pretty surprised at how fast the subject detection caught a car coming into frame quickly, I didn't have to do my typical tracking before the corner like I would with the X-T4. It seemed much stickier than previous cameras and could switch subjects incredibly quickly.

I was blown away by the speed it picked up the grandkids, they didn’t have a chance to even turn away before I had their picture taken. 😁

Ya, if you are close to focus and it sees a face, bam sharp! You can drop the shutter in preparation taking a short burst and catch the magic moments.

Yeah but at one point my grand daughter was 150 to 200 feet away and it still picked her head up.

Tiny in the screen or a long lens?

Morris

35mm F/1.4 she was fairly small in the screen at the time.

I had a Z6 that would lose the subject beyond 15 feet it could no longer see the eyes.  The X-T4 was a little bit further than that but both took a second to find the eye and sometimes lost the eye.  When the A7 3 launched I tested one and that was losing eyes when people turned their heads.

This is the best AF system I’ve ever used.
