EVF using Touch Screen Focusing - Tutorial - for Sony a7R iv

[garuda]

Several people who predominately use EVF-shooting mentioned they weren’t familiar with using touch-screen functionality when using EVF on a7R iv. So I thought I’d publish the menu setting instructions for any of those wanting to try out this option. I have included the menu page numbers (in BLUE font) for ease of navigating the menu.

And I include a video to demo the procedure for EVF touch panel function; video best viewed in 1080 resolution :

Hi Garuda,

thank you for your post on focusing I did try all these but still I cannot get touch focus to work after connecting my phone to my camera. (Android via Imaging Edge) I first noticed it when I tried to focus on my phone's touch screen.
The focusing curser responded to touch and moved where touched on the screen but zero focusing.
I did try focus tracking and that seemed to work which makes it even stranger and has me stumped.
I did a reset of settings and even a full factory reset and nothing works.
Apart from this camera is fine and focuses via the focus button or back button focusing.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this and how I may resolve it?

Many thanks.

Hugh
