Sony Custom Gridline Upgrade
The Custom Gridline Upgrade that Sony previously announced last December is now available for A1 , A7S III , A7 IV , and A9 Mark III Cameras. Priced at $150(US), the upgrade targets photography and video production professionals who handle large volumes of work. I wonder why Sony hasn't made it available for its A7R V which is also very popular among professional photographers thanks to its 61MP sensor and other flagship features.
