An advanced AI processing unit applies high-level subject recognition to reliably recognise a wide range of subjects. These state-of-the-art technologies come together to make it easy to capture even the most challenging subjects in extraordinary resolution, with blackout-free viewing and full AF\/AE tracking performance at up to 30 fps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Example image showing a woman walking on sand, with human pose estimation recognising her head and body\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sony.com\/image\/ee7ea6b18fa2670a19be935af7d1cd8f?fmt=jpeg\u0026amp;wid=400\u0026amp;qlt=85\" style=\"height:334px; width:500px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced AI processing unit for high-level subject recognition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe α1 II features a dedicated AI processing unit that helps to recognise people more accurately based on human pose estimation, and also supports recognition of a wide range of subjects other than people, such as animals, vehicles and insects,with high accuracy.
