LA-EA adapter model and camera firmware determine focusing behavior. Sony's LA-EA5 excludes movie AF even where still AF works.
Make the exact-model decision
Use Sony's camera-specific adapter table and keep the model numbers beside the result. Start with the camera maker’s exact body support page and the lens or adapter maker’s exact model number. Read restrictions alongside the basic fit statement.
A manufacturer example
Sony’s LA-EA5 page distinguishes still AF support on selected bodies from its explicit lack of autofocus during movie recording. Use the linked page for its stated model and revision; a different model may need a different support document.
Where to draw the line
A broad mount-family claim can omit firmware, burst, crop or video-mode exceptions. Keep unlisted modes unknown. If a source does not address the exact feature you need, record that feature as unknown rather than treating silence as support or incompatibility.
Your next step
Take the model code from the body or lens label, open the official source below, and compare its scope with the equipment you have. Then use the check maker-backed results to organize what is known. Do not mount an item that resists or appears on a maker’s exclusion list.
