What makes a great portrait? Like any art form, it’s difficult to quantify, but we know a great portrait when we see it. One thing that consistently sets the best portraits above the crowd is having critical sharpness on the eye. To that end, the Eye AF setting in Sony cameras gives portrait photographers a special advantage. Locking onto and tracking the eye, Eye AF lets the photographer concentrate on the composition and capturing a revealing expression instead of being preoccupied with critical focus.
