Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV to get real-time animal eye AF via firmware update

It's not just human eye autofocus (AF) and tracking that Sony's superb mirrorless cameras excel in – even animal eye AF is on offer to those who love to capture the antics of their pets.

So it's great news to know that Sony isn't keeping this technology to the Alpha range of mirrorless cameras, but is now bringing it to its best superzoom bridge camera.

Sony Japan has announced that a new firmware update has been "scheduled" that will add real-time animal eye AF for stills to the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV. 

According to a translation of the announcement, the update will not only allow the camera to lock onto an animal's pupil, but also improve the existing eye AF function on the camera. With the new firmware, the RX10 IV should be able to focus on a person's eye when the shutter button is half-pressed.

In addition to improvements to autofocus functionality, the update will also improve "operational stability" but no specifics have been listed.

Sony hasn't announced a date for the firmware update rollout except to say it's been "scheduled for 2019", meaning it should be available to download before the year is out.

The RX10 IV was launched in October 2017, quickly becoming our favorite superzoom. After two years, the camera remains in top spot, thanks to its fast 24-600mm lens, brilliant noise performance at high ISO settings and it's advanced autofocus system. 

It even has a superb electronic viewfinder, and stills and video quality are impressive. It's not quite a traveling companion due its size and remains one of the more expensive bridge cameras available today. That said, its well worth every penny if you're after an all-in-one powerhouse.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
