Self-photo

[AlphaBaruch]

I’ve been shooting Sony for 3 years and for the 1st time I tried to take a “Selfie” with my A7R5. Specifically, I had to take a passport renewal photo. I had my camera on a tripod and used the 10-second timer, but I discovered that I wasn’t able to use tracking, even in continuous mode. Isn’t there a way to accomplish eye-focus on myself without using a remote shutter?

Unfortunately, that is not possible without an additional remote trigger. Directly from the camera, you can see the focus and composition before it starts the count. I suggest you download imaging edge app for selfie shots. Many people use their phones to achieve that, others prefer a tablet to see everything in a larger window.

Thank you!

I agree with @LensBrew using the app on your phone is the way to go

Yep, the app...I need to do the same thing!

I love using the app and being able to control the camera with my phone
