Little problem with AF

[damian]

Hello, I have a problem, should my camera automatically adjust focus when I point at something in AFC mode without pressing the button halfway? 

Because it does not adjust focus until I press a button halfway. 

I have a Sony a7IV and 20-70mm f/4

Thank you

hi @damian that is normal, however you can turn on Pre-AF, which should have the camera start autofocus before you half press the shutter. That said it will likely use your battery up faster with that on. On the a7IV it is Menu-AF/MF Focus-AF/MF-Pre-AF

 

Hope that helps!
