Key Features

World’s rst

Full-frame stacked CMOS sensor

From the world’s largest sensor manufacturer comes the world’s rst

35mm full-frame stacked

Exmor RS

CMOS sensor with integrated memory and includes a number of features that

contribute to outstanding image quality. High sensitivity, a back-illuminated conguration,

gapless on-chip lens architecture, and other Sony innovations deliver stunning images in a wide

range of photographic situations. This unique 24.2 megapixel sensor, when combined with the

rened BIONZ X™ image processing engine and front-end LSI, delivers approx. 20x faster data

readout speed Sony full-frame mirrorless α7 II cameras. The result is unmatched by any DSLR or

Mirrorless camera before it.

Up to 20fps

continuous shooting

Capture eeting moments and the highest speed subjects with incredible continuous shooting

of up to 20fps

at full 24.2MP resolution in RAW+JPEG with continuous AF/AE (autofocus and auto

exposure) tracking and no EVF or LCD blackout

. The large high speed buer allow for up to

241 RAW images or 362 JPEG images. With camera set to “Hi” continuous shooting mode, UHS-II

memory card. Sony tests, compressed RAW or J{PEG respectively.

World’s rst blackout-free

viewnder

Ever since the lm era, camera mechanisms have been designed with shutter and mirror

mechanisms that interrupt the incoming light when creating a photographic image. High

continuous shooting speeds pose even more of a problem for traditional DSLRs. It is time for a

change. Even at up to 20fps

continuous shooting, this isn’t an issue for the groundbreaking α9

mirrorless camera. You have a continuous, uninterrupted view of the subject with a 60 fps live-

view refresh rate thanks to the Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF (Electronic Viewnder and minimal

display lag while shooting continuous bursts. Display updating will be slower at slow shutter

speeds.

Silent

, vibration-free anti-distortion shutter

Shooting wide open in brightly lit conditions or freezing a fast moving object in a moment without

distorting the image due to slower shutter speeds is made possible with a fully electronic, high-

speed, anti-distortion shutter that can achieve speeds as high as 1/32,000 sec.

, way beyond

the limits of a mechanical system. In addition, the electronic vibration-free shutter delivers sharp

images and is completely silent

, without mechanical noise that can be disruptive when shooting

sports or events in a quiet environment.

World’s most

Phase Detection AF points

In addition to industry-leading speed and innovative silent

shooting, the α9 features a fast, wide

and dependable 4D Focus system with the world’s most

: 693 Phase Detection AF points with

wide coverage over 93% of the frame. Fast Hybrid AF System has been optimized for speed,

achieving approximately 25% faster AF operation than the 7R II. This focusing system ensures that

even the fasting moving subjects are reliably tracked and captured across the frame – even

when shooting at high 20fps

Up to 60 AF/AE tracking calculations per sec.

ILCE-9/B

α9 Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens

Camera

In one game-changing leap the revolutionary image

sensor and high-speed processing of the α9 reaches

performance levels far beyond the incremental

improvements gained through decades of mechanical

renement. There is no viewnder blackout2. Continuous

shooting speeds exceed those possible with mechanical

shutters. Higher shutter speeds are available, and all

without noise or vibration. The ability to keep an eye on

moving subjects at all times leads to faultless AF and AE

tracking, and the photographer’s view is consistently up-

to-date with an absolute minimum of lag. In short, the

digital promise has been realized at last.

ILCE-9/B α9 Full-frame Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Camera In one game-changing leap the revolutionary image sensor and high-speed processing of the α9 reaches performance levels far beyond the incremental improvements gained through decades of mechanical refinement. There is no viewfinder blackout2. Continuous shooting speeds exceed those possible with mechanical shutters. Higher shutter speeds are available, and all without noise or vibration.

The α9 never rests. It employs an ingenious blend of mirrorless construction and new speed enhancing technologies to allow autofocus and auto-exposure calculations to continue even between the frames unlike conventional cameras. Unprecedented sensor readout speed means that subject motion and exposure changes can be tracked without interruption during continuous shooting2, regardless of release timing.

Two SD media card slots are provided for still and movie storage (one slot for SD cards or Memory Stick) with the lower card slot being UHS-II compatible for faster write speed. Still or movie data can be simultaneously recorded to both cards for backup, or RAW images can be recorded to one card while JPEG images are recorded to the other. It is also possible to record stills and movies to different cards. Data can be copied between cards while in the camera, for convenient back-up.

The tiltable 3-inch (1,440k dots) Xtra Fine LCD™ Display makes it easy to photograph over crowds, or objects close to the ground or maybe you just want to get a different perspective. The screen can tilt up approx. 107° and down approx. 41° and features a convenient touch AF function for fast intuitive focus.
