Inaccessible IAccessibilty?

Hello Everyone!

I am blind and in the UK. Ihave just purchased a used a7R IV ILCE-7RM4 in order to undertake a Photography Degree Course - this is I believe the latest model of the IV with the higher rez screen. I have checked that the firmware is upto date (ver, 1.13), but cannot find the much vaunted screen reader which is important to me. Does anyone know where to find it? Or as Sony removeed it from their latest 4A? Looked around for an older M4 but can't find one... Does the a7R V haver it? (in which case its start saving again)

Anyobwe able to help

I don't have the camera anymore but found this:

1. MENU →
   
   (Setup) → [Accessibility] → [Screen Reader] → Select an item to set, and then select the desired setting.

Aww thank yu fore taking the trouble - thats for the older model -the A7R4, which is no longer available even used.

The AR74A, the current model, has a higher rez screen, but has a different menu and firmware which doesn't seem to have the screen reader

Can anyone confirm the A7R5 DOES have the function?

Welcome to the forum, what a fascinating thing to even contemplate.

What genres will you be shooting?

I can't answer your specific question, but any help, please shout. I'm in Norfolk.

Apparently, this function is available only when the menu language is set to English on models sold in North America.

sigh...

Thank You

I find it very odd that this feature is available only on models sold in North America. I don't remember ever seeing that for any other feature.
