title = "Webcam Eye AF for the Sony A7RII"

I am using my Sony A7 RII as a webcam with shallow depth of field with `gphoto2` under Linux.
The normal auto focus does not follow very well, therefore I assigned the "Eye AF" to the lens button
and activate it permanently with some rubber straps and a small button like object underneath.
See this picture:

It works perfectly.
The only quirks are, that I have to remove the permanent press, if I want to press other buttons on the cam.
It also has to be unpressed, when switching on the camera.
