You need to assign the Eye AF function to one of the customizable buttons. You have to hold on to the button assigned for Eye AF while pressing the shutter button to capture the image.

I don't think Sony expects anybody to use it anyway. It's a show floor feature only. It's as reliable and useful as the smile shutter or the auto crop features.

Sony is slping.
Thanks.
In the Manual, there is an option called Eye-Start AF,
(Sets whether to use auto focus when you look through the viewfinder if an LA-EA2/LA-EA4 Mount Adaptor is attached)
It has nothing to do with this option right ?

You are right. This is different from Eye AF that helps to focus on your subject's eye

Sony uses the Eye-Start AF for a decade now, that's not the new feature.

you pres the Eye-AF button and the camera will automatically cofus and search for the eye, then you press the shutter..so yes you do need to press 2 buttons. and unfortunately, the eye-af doesn't work all the time
it's not something i will use. the face detect works well enough there' no need for the eye af

actually this problem is the same i had with the oly EP-1, EP-2, EP-3 and OMD. the lug and strap attachment really gets in the way. i removed the triangle attahment and looped my wrist strap directly through the lug and it feels much better in hand.

yeah NEX 7 the shutter placement was at the front scroll excellent location if they ask me
. Looks like they are copying a RF button/scroll layout as close as possible

Not new, I'm preaching that for years.
Adobe sucks with ARW files. It's like flushing 50% of the camera's potential down the toilet. Colors and gradients are (totally) off in Adobe, it's noisier and you're loosing detail. Adobe's processing is super mushy in general.

Where to download the Sony image data converter? Is it able to edit the Sony Raw file like LR? Does it work on the Mac? Tks

No, it isn't [it pretty much only offers the controls your camera model has] but what you get out of the raw files has more potential to begin with. You can still edit it later elsewhere. Just go to your camera model and download it from the support page, there is an OS X version as well.
