Currently Sony has: 'focusing on the eye of the Subject' --- in the 1990s Canon had: 'focusing WITH the photographer's eye, while looking into the camera's viewfinder.

Re: WITH:
Five Tiny rectangles (in a horizontal row), centered on the screen in the viewfinder -VERSUS- Numerous 'focusing-point (squares or circles or rectangles)' COVERING the screen of the viewfinder (top to bottom & left to right).
---------
Re: CONCEPT (for stills NOT video):
Depress a 'button' with your thumb, while LOOKING thru your viewfinder at your 'subject'; ...and then EITHER
(...But NOT BOTH [with the SAME 'thumb-button'] yes there are Two adjacent thumb-buttons ):
1. BLINK your EYE, to trip the shutter, while continuing to depress Buttom-One [which btw, has the shape of a skinny-rectangle];
...OR,
2. While depressing Button-Two [which has the shape of a triangle], either:
a. Half-depress the Shutter-Button to take a single Still;
...OR:
b. Fully-Depress (and HOLD) the Shutter-Buttom to take a burst of Continuous Frames.

Video operation is generally-similar but will be described in a future post. --- However the camera!s Video-Capability WILL have the additional feature of 'Recording on a two to five second LOOP'. --- (END-POST)

wtf.....

are you trying to (jokingly) have the flick of the eye cause the camera to focus (focus wit the eye?)

-----------------
Hin'zigipha' ...the focusing with your eye was a reality; the tripping of the shutter by BLINKING that eye, was my idea (as was all else). - If Canon was able to perceive/sense where your right eye//retina was staring; then it could also build into the algorithm 'A Blink' ...and have the internal computer TRIP the shutter (as with a wireless remote).

All the rest, was my being 'Rube Goldberg' (on paper).

I'm not sure what your point is. Were they not referring to two different things? "Focusing on" seems to be referring to a "goal" in portraiture, while "focusing with" appears to refer to "technique". The two don't seem to be contradictory to me.

But maybe you were making another observation-- and it's on me for missing your point

Hi Lone Ranger Finder... I LOVE clever technology that allows me to 'Capture' realistic (as a 20/20 eye would see the Target/Subject); and do it as Quickly and Accurately as Possible. Therefore, Both Sony and Canon produce technologies which I would want to incorporate into MY 'ideal' camera; ...Along With "the OTHER-IDEAS which I wrote."

I was asking for COMMENT on my Ideas!!!😃
