SONY XPERIA 1 III 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 SONY XPERIA 1 III offers the same AF capabilities across all its lenses.
