Hello Alphashooters,
I have been combing the internet for information about what I first thought must be a misunderstanding on my part - the inability to focus track while shooting video with an A7 IV but WITHOUT using the touch screen. As discouraging as it sounds, I think I have finally concluded that it is not possible. It IS possible on other Alpha models though, which makes me hope that the feature could migrate to the A7 IV in an upcoming firmware update. I simply can't understand why this feature is overlooked in the A7 IV and it would make a particular use case of mine (basketball videography) considerably more convenient.
Does anyone have any intel on whether this could be expected to be added? Or even better, can any one set me straight and tell me it is already possible? I would like to assign a custom button to activate the tracking from the point where I have my spot focus aimed rather than having to fidget with the screen.
