Xperia 1 VI

This video clip demonstrates the graphical interface and performance of the advanced camera auto-focus system on the Xperia 1 VI.

A video of a single person standing in a forested area, with prominent trees in the foreground, is overlayed with a grid of green squares, covering almost the entire frame, and the caption “399 Auto-focus points”. The grid disappears except for a small area of around nine squares, which overlay on top of the person and tracks her movement as she turns and starts walking towards the camera. As her face becomes visible, the grid is replaced by a single square which precisely tracks one of her eyes as she walks closer. A caption reads “Real-time Eye AF” (“Accuracy of the feature may vary according to environmental circumstances and settings”) and the small tracking box stays on her eye even as she crosses the frame, pausing for only a moment as she is obscured behind a tree, then immediately resuming its tracking as she re-emerges.

As she walks around another tree, temporarily turning away from the camera, a larger box appears on her back, along with the caption “Real-time Tracking” (“Accuracy of the feature may vary according to environmental circumstances and settings”) and follows her movement, then resumes eye tracking once her face is back in view.

The image then turns monochrome and a stick-figure overlay on her body simulates the “Human posture estimation technology” (“Image for illustrative purpose only”), identifying and moving with the position of her arms, legs, torso and head in order to more accurately identify her as the subject, even among the trees and bush. The image returns to colour and the Eye AF square locks back onto her eye as she walks forward past the camera and out of frame.
