Enhanced 4K movie quality and control Other features that enhance the 9 experience 3376 3p3i7x6eplisxels 2160 pixels 2160 pixels High-resolution 4K movies Full pixel readout with no pixel binning makes it possible to condense approximately 2.4 times* the amount of data required for 4K (the equivalent of the amount of data required for 6K) into 3840 x 2160 4K output. This oversampling process plus fullframe pixel readout without binning results in the highest possible 4K movie image quality. * 24p recording. Approx. 1.6 times for 30p recording. 22..44timtiems IensfoIrmnfaotiornmation 3840 x 2160 6000 pixels 6K 6000 pixels 4K 6K3840 pixels 4K 3840 pixels Clean HDMI output Clean HDMI output for 4K and full-HD recording provides uncompressed video output that can be fed to an external recorder or monitor. HDMI output can be used simultaneously with internal recording*. * The camera's LCD monitor will be inactive when a 4K signal is being output via the HDMI connector. High-bitrate XAVC S format XAVC S format is used for 4K and HD recording. High bit rates of up to 100 Mbps for 4K 30p (25p PAL)/24p recording and full-HD 120p (100p PAL) recording, and up to 50 Mbps for full-HD 60p (50p PAL)/30p (25p PAL)/24p recording, ensure beautifully detailed movies with minimal compression noise*. * Class 10 or higher SDHC/SDXC memory card required for XAVC S format movie recording. UHS Speed Class U3 required for 100Mbps or higher recording.

A wider AF area with the same coverage as for stills is now available for movies as well, so that AF accurately locks onto subjects near the image edges with equally high reliability. Focal plane phase-detection AF is used effectively for smoother, more stable tracking of fast-moving subjects. Creative slow focus effects are easier to produce too, with smoother, more stable focus transitions. Slow and Quick motion* Frame rates from 1 fps to 120 fps (100 fps PAL) can be selected in eight steps for up to 60x quick motion and 5x slow motion while recording at up to 50 Mbps with full-HD quality. 24p, 30p, or 60p (25p or 50p PAL) recording frame rates can also be selected as required. Slow and Quick motion effects can be previewed immediately after recording, without the need for post production. * Sound not recorded. Class 10 or higher SDHC/SDXC memory card required.

WhiteMagic™ technology is included to ensure that the LCD is bright and clear even in outdoor conditions. The monitor tilts upwards by a maximum of 107°, and downwards by a maximum of 41° for flexible hold and framing. Versatile spot metering When the Focus Area parameter is set to Flexible Spot or Expanded Flexible Spot the metering spot location can be linked to the focus area so that the optimum metering point is maintained automatically. Two spot sizes, Standard and Large, are provided to match a wider range of subjects. Highlight and Average metering modes In addition to the existing multi, center weighted, and spot metering modes, the 9 features a Highlight mode that detects the brightest area in the frame to avoid blown highlights, and an Average mode that can provide stable auto exposure through composition changes. Advanced P-TTL Flash Metering* Data acquired from reflected pre-flash light is used for precision flash control. The pre-flash data is combined with distance data from the lens to emphasize lighting conditions around the subject and reliably avoid under- or over-exposure due to background or clothing color. * The 9 does not include built-in flash. P-TTL flash metering works with an optional flash unit attached to the camera. Exposure standard adjustment To ensure that the camera's auto-exposure settings meet your personal expectations and working requirements, the standard exposure value can be adjusted from -1 to +1 stop in 1/6-stop increments. This adjustment can be applied independently to each metering mode. ISO Auto Minimum Shutter Speed This function sets the shutter speed above which ISO sensitivity will begin to change when the camera mode is set to "P" or "A" and "ISO AUTO" is selected. The ability to specify a low ISO AUTO limit can help minimize subject blur when shooting moving subjects. Priority Set in AWB When white balance is set to Auto and incandescent lamps or similar are the light source, the color tone priority can be set to Standard, Ambience, or White. Ambience prioritizes the color of the light source, while White prioritizes white reproduction. 29
