That's a good point regarding eye af. I assume that's a function of having to proceed less data

Super happy about that but..... I'll probably use crop a whole lot less now that we can get high shutter speeds in FF. For me at least cropping was a way to work around the terrible buffering on the RIV.

Video from Alex Phan about switching from FF to APSC mode while buffer is clearing.
I still like the magnified view that APS-C mode brings and very likely the Bird Eye-AF will activate easier/more often when in APS-C mode like it does on the R5. I even noted that in Alex's video that as he cropped in the eye-af grabbed his figure's eye where it didn't in FF. Also since I'm planning to just run V90 SD at first, the APS-C option will make that easier. Of course for my very first A1 test on the swallows in flight it will be FF all the way for the extra FOV.
I also think I read (but could be mistaken) that unlike the past Sony bodies when you are in APS-C mode and using Wide or Zone that the dancing AF points stay close together instead of having the extra spacing between them? I think there are just as many AF points working in APS-C vs FF which would mean that for a given subject at a given distance with a given lens that there would be more AF data going in for a given area that the subject takes up on the sensor. So maybe it is processing the same amount of data but now a higher % of that data is coming from your subject??
Not sure if that is correct or not??
Sounds plausible, at least I can see how that might work. What I have a harder time wrapping my head around is why that would break simply because a lens isn't a true FF lens that happens to be cropped vs an APSC lens that must be cropped. My current hypotheses is that this uses light from the outer edge of the image circle, which would be completely dark for an APSC lens. Nah, doesn't work either.
I knew I'd seen someone talk/show that the focus points stay close together in APS-C mode....here it is at the 1:30 mark. If my auto English subs are correct in what he is saying. I'm sure you can confirm!
