Phase Detect Area setting not working on A9II

[MariuzM]

Does any one have this setting working? I have tried with 3 different lenses: 

70-200 2.8 GM

50mm 1.4 Zeiss

Tamron 28-75

None of these lenses allows me to enable that function.

I am fairly certain that the Tamron will not work. I just tried mine on the a92 and got nowhere. The online manual has the following not so helpful information:

It is not helpful as it is very hard to find the list of compatible lenses. I suspect that you might need a firmware update for the 70-200 if it is relatively old.

 

Good luck

• Phase detection AF is available only when an applicable lens is attached. If you use a lens that does not support phase detection AF, you cannot use [AF Tracking Sens.], [AF Tracking Sens.] or [AF drive speed]. Also, even if you use a previously purchased applicable lens, the phase detection AF might not function unless you update the lens. For details on compatible lenses, visit the Sony web site in your area, or consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility.
