Sony's 'Real-Time' autofocus promises to track almost anything you throw at it, but it's not enabled by default. The words 'Real-Time' don't even appear in the camera's menu. In this video, Chris shows us how to set up this very useful feature.

Conclusion
We were already impressed with the Sony a9 when we reviewed it, giving it a score that put it on par with its two very capable rivals, the Nikon D5 and the Canon EOS-1DX II. In April this year, nearly two years after the camera's launch, Sony introduced a significant firmware update that largely revamped the autofocus system of the camera, adding a new 'real-time tracking' AF mode that works seamlessly with face and eye detection. dpreview.com »

Last month Sony announced the new ‘Real-time tracking’ autofocus system. It’s first implemented in the new A6400 but coming soon via firmware upgrade on the A9 too. (UPDATE: A7rIII and A7III will get real-time AF update not “real time tracking as I previously stated incorrectly). sonyalpharumors.com »
