These Sony Alpha flagship cameras get massive firmware updates: support for Real-time Recognition AF+, Write Digital Signature, and more

Sony has just rolled out a firmware update for its flagship Alpha cameras, the A1 II and A9 III. Over the past years, Sony has been steadily pushing the boundaries of autofocus, tracking, and dieo functionality, and this latest update shows it's not slowing down.

For both mirrorless cameras, the update adds Real-time Recognition AF+, new Creative Look presets, and expanded Preset Focus support for lenses without power zoom. On a practical level, metering accuracy with bounce flash is now tighter, the battery display is more reliable, and the overall stability of the camera feels noticeably improved.
