Object Tracking can automatically track a moving subject and keep it in sharp focus, even when it doesn't have eyes or its eyes are obscured from view.

The Xperia 1 IV gives videographers a wealth of creative opportunities with a choice of three lenses including ultra-wide 16mm, wide-angle 24mm, and telephoto with true optical zoom 85-125mm. All three offer 4K HDR 120fps video recording, Eye AF and Object tracking.
Record video in 4K HDR 120fps on all lenses
Whichever lens you're using, the Xperia 1 IV lets you shoot high quality video in 4K HDR 120fps. You can then play back the 120fps content on the 4K HDR 120Hz Refresh-rate display with smooth and beautiful details. You can also select frame rate settings to shoot slow motion clips up to 5x.
Live stream video direct to video streaming services with Videography Pro

Professional technology from Alpha cameras
The Xperia 1 IV was co-developed with the engineers behind the latest Alpha 1 series cameras, renowned for their industry-leading autofocus technology, and with input from professional photographers, who helped tune the technology and refine the photographic experience and results. And just as Alpha photographers expect the same performance in any lens, so the Xperia 1 IV offers the same AF capabilities across all its lenses.
Real-time Eye AF on all lenses
Real-time Eye AF on all lenses lets you take stunning portraits, whether you're photographing people or animals. Even if your subject is on the move or one eye is covered, you'll capture memorable images full of energy and expression.
Up to 20fps AF/AE HDR burst shooting, whichever lens you choose
The Xperia 1 IV offers the same incredibly fast performance across all lenses. Whichever one you choose, you can capture up to 20fps continuous burst shooting, complete with autofocus and auto exposure. And you can take stunning images in any lighting conditions with HDR (High Dynamic Range) for the richest colour and contrast.
Real-time Tracking on all lenses
When you're trying to photograph a subject that won't stay still, a little assistance is always welcome – so the Xperia 1 IV features Real-time Tracking on all lenses.
True optical zoom lens with no image degradation
With true 85-125mm optical zoom, the Xperia 1 IV offers images free of digital degradation between 85mm-125mm. Combined with optical stabilisation and Real-time Eye AF and tracking, it's ideal for portraits with optical bokeh.
Three versatile lenses, including new telephoto with true optical zoom
The Xperia 1 IV gives you a choice of three lenses – 16mm ultra-wide, 24mm wide, and 85-125mm telephoto with true optical zoom – with the same fast speed and AF capabilities in all lenses. Like an Alpha camera, when you change lens the AF speed stays the same.
Outstanding ZEISS quality in your Xperia
ZEISS optics calibrated specifically for your Xperia smartphone. The ZEISS T* coating contributes to exquisite rendering and contrast by reducing reflections.
Great results in challenging lighting conditions
The Xperia 1 IV has a large sensor to capture more light, and BIONZ X™ for mobile to deliver outstanding results in all lighting conditions.
Front camera takes outstanding low light images
The new front camera takes even better pictures in low light thanks to a new front camera sensor that's bigger than the previous model's.
