Professional reliability Professional stamina A newly developed NP-FZ100 battery offers approximately 2.2 times the life of the previous NP-FW50. Up to approximately 480 still frames* can be captured on a single charge. But that's just with the body alone. The optional VG-C3EM vertical grip houses two batteries that let you shoot up to 950 images* in continuous mode. And when you need serious stamina for long sessions there's the NPA-MQZ1K Multi Battery Adaptor Kit that can hold up to four batteries. *When using the viewfinder 24 Dual media slots Two media slots are provided for still and movie storage: one for SD cards and one for SD cards and Memory Stick. The lower card slot is UHS-II compatible for fast 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, so you don't have to use a computer. Sony SF-G series UHS-II SD cards are ideal for situations where maximum transfer speed is required, allowing up to 362 JPEG images or 241 compressed RAW images to be captured in a continuous burst. SF-G series UHS-II SD cards Durable magnesium alloy chassis Body construction features a lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy for the top cover, front cover, internal frame, and rear cover. The grip area has also been reinforced with an integrated magnesium alloy grip and front cover. Although about the same size and weight as the 7 series, the 9 body is packed with unprecedented functionality and performance. Rigid lens mount The number of screws securing the lens mount has been increased to six in order to maximize rigidity. Durability is ensured even when using heavy telephoto lenses. Durable low-vibration mechanical shutter Mechanical shutter vibration has been reduced to an absolute minimum with a low-vibration design and precision brake system so that shutter operation has minimum effect on image quality. The shutter is also quiet, and has been tested for durability in excess of 500,000* cycles. * Electronic front curtain shutter, Sony tests. Reliable dust and moisture resistant design All major buttons and dials are provided with seals, while media jack cover and enclosure edges feature tongue-and-groove joints for double protection. Sealing is provided throughout the body to minimize dust and moisture ingress, allowing it to function reliably in challenging environments*. Maximum dust and moisture resistance is maintained at lens, vertical grip, and flash unit joints too, providing excellent system reliability. * Not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof. 25
