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 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 upto-date with an absolute minimum of lag. In short, the digital promise has been realized at last. Key Features World's first1 Full-frame stacked CMOS sensor From the world's largest sensor manufacturer comes the world's first1 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 configuration, 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 refined 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 20fps3 continuous shooting Capture fleeting moments and the highest speed subjects with incredible continuous shooting of up to 20fps3 at full 24.2MP resolution in RAW+JPEG with continuous AF/AE (autofocus and auto exposure) tracking and no EVF or LCD blackout2. The large high speed buffer 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 first blackout-free2 viewfinder Ever since the film 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 20fps3 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 liveview refresh rate thanks to the Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF (Electronic Viewfinder and minimal display lag while shooting continuous bursts. Display updating will be slower at slow shutter speeds. Silent4, 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, highspeed, anti-distortion shutter that can achieve speeds as high as 1/32,000 sec.5, way beyond the limits of a mechanical system. In addition, the electronic vibration-free shutter delivers sharp images and is completely silent4, without mechanical noise that can be disruptive when shooting sports or events in a quiet environment. World's most1 Phase Detection AF points In addition to industry-leading speed and innovative silent4 shooting, the α9 features a fast, wide and dependable 4D Focus system with the world's most1: 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 20fps3. Up to 60 AF/AE tracking calculations per sec.7
