Never used the focus breathing feature. Never had an issue with my g master mkII 24 to 70. Just set your focal points or manual. The af lock on feature also helps tremendously.
That's great it hasn't been an issue for you. For me doing a lot of dynamic video and rarely using tripods on my productions, the focus breathing was a bit too noticeable. Most ppl wouldn't notice, but for me, it took away from the higher end cinematic look I was going for in certain productions. I love sony's autofocus and almost exclusively shoot in autofocus, especially when I'm shooting f1.4 or f1.2. Tight lenses with that shallow depth of field makes focus breathing even more noticeable. But I agree it's not necessary for everyone. Thanks for sharing your perspective 🙏
@DoubtMeTech also done heavy movement handheld shoots and gimbal shoots wide open or stopped down. Maybe it's the mkII and my firmware updates to the fx3. I can't really say. The only time I've had a focus breathing issue is when a spec of something tiny is on my lens or camera sensor. Only time I can recall. I generally shoot on manual vintage primes or prime lenses with no AF. But on smaller solo shoots. The af game is strong. I would encourage you to experiment with your settings.

@@BeyondtheMovingPictureStudios what apertures are you shooting at? Lenses generally don't get heavy focus breathing above f2.0
