In depth video autofocus guide for the Sony FX3, FX30 & A7SIII. I demonstrate all of the video autofocus features including focus transition speed, focus sensitivity and Face / Eye AF. I then show how to register faces so that the camera can prioritise subjects and finish with a demonstration of touch focus and focus tracking.

Huge thanks to the following YouTube creators who agreed to let me feature them in the video:
