SONY ALPHA A9 BODY

SONY ALPHA A9 MIRRORLESS SINGLE BODY DIGITAL CAMERA 24.2MP UHD 4K VIDEO

24.2MP full frame Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor

Prepared for speed, the a9 features a 24.2MP Exmor RS first frame full frame stacked CMOS that offers impressively fast read rates to benefit up to 20 fps of continuous shooting and 4K UHD video recording. The sensor's backlit design also provides high sensitivity to extended ISO 204,800 with reduced noise for clean image quality in a variety of lighting conditions. In addition, uncompressed raw files can be recorded in 14 bits for greater color fidelity and post-production flexibility.

BIONZ X image processor

Working in conjunction with the stacked CMOS sensor, you will find a BIONZ X image processor capable of ensuring fast processing speeds to keep up with fast-paced shooting applications. 20 fps continuous shooting is compatible with up to 362 consecutive JPEGs or 241 unprocessed frames, along with a superior electronic shutter speed of 1/32,000 for freezing fast-moving subjects or working in bright lighting conditions. Benefiting from the fast recording capacity, you will find an equally fast AF/AE measuring system operating at 60 times per second at 60 times per second.

693-point phase detection phase

Covering 93% of the image area, a focal plane phase detection autofocus system incorporates 693 dots along with 25 contrast detection areas for fast and accurate focusing in a variety of lighting conditions with sensitivity of up to -3 EV. The density of the focal points of this hybrid AF system also enables high density AF tracking technology, which is expert in tracking moving subjects in a variety of lighting conditions. The use of phase detection dots also allows the use of A-mount lenses through the lens mount adapters.

The apt focusing system also lends itself to a variety of focusing functions for refined precision, including Lock-on AF, which keeps subjects in motion in focus by using a configurable frame that is placed over the desired moving subject, and expands flexible point. it uses neighboring focus points to keep subjects in motion in focus, even if the originally selected point loses focus. in addition, Eye AF can be used to focus the eyes of subjects recognized for portraiture and is available in AF-S and AF-C modes. Autofocus can also be used in conjunction with the Am function.

In addition to autofocus, the a9 also features a Peaking MF function to benefit manual focus control by highlighting sharp edges of contrast for a more objective means of acquiring sharp focus.

5-axis image stabilization SteadyShot INSIDE

Packaged in the robust a9, it is an effective 5-axis, 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system that compensates for the five different types of camera shake that occur during the manual shooting of photographs and videos. This allows users to confidently use any lens, even adapted ones, to obtain critical images without tripping over the camera movement.

For long focal lengths, the system will correct pitch and yaw settings. macro and high magnification images, on the other hand, will benefit from the inclusion of horizontal and vertical shift compensation. all shooting styles will get use of roll compensation. 5 stabilization axes will work at all times, even when using third party lenses and adapters or lenses with built-in optical stabilizer.

UHD 4K video recording in XAVC S format

Internal recording of UHD 4K movies is possible at multiple frame rates of up to 30 fps and, based on the Super35mm recording area and an effective resolution of 20MP (6000 x 3376), oversampling 2.4x provides more detail and full pixel reading is possible, pixel binning is null, for higher quality images with reduced moiré and aliasing. 1080p Full HD recording is also supported at frame rates of up to 120 fps, and both resolutions use the XAVC S 100 M format XAVC S. 100 M is also supported at frame rates of up to 120 fps, and both resolutions use the XAVC S 100 M format for aliasing.

4K video recording also takes advantage of the ability to produce 8MP still images during playback by taking a frame from a movie and storing it as a separate file.

Slow and fast movement

Take more control over your video capture capabilities with a variety of new frame rates available in the S & Q mode. This will allow shooters to capture Full HD video in one of the steps between 1-120 fps. This setting will allow you to slow down the action and speed up a slowly moving scene. This setting is also NTSC / PAL switchable.

Enhanced Zebra Function

An enhanced Zebra function is ideal for helping to monitor exposure values in high-contrast scenes. Video signal level lenses can be set from 0 to 109, and specific ranges can be set to facilitate exposure level adjustments.

Time code and user bit setting

A time code can be used to record hours, minutes, seconds, frames in image data for more accurate editing, while the User Bit function can record date, time, and scene number to help edit shots from multiple cameras.

Body Design

• Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder features a 3.686m dot resolution and 0.78x magnification for bright, clear viewing. The EVF also has a Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and a 120 fps refresh rate can be used to reduce delay for a smoother viewing experience. In addition, a fluoride coating has been applied to the outermost viewfinder element to promote cleanliness.

• The 3.04 m 1.44 m rear tilt touch screen is available for live viewing and menu navigation The touch screen allows Touch Focus for intuitive adjustment of your point of focus, and the tilt design benefits work from high and low angles.

• Dual SD card slots provide a more flexible means of storing files. The bottom card slot is compatible with UHS-II type cards, and slots can be configured to back up to the camera, record raw / segregated JPEG or store in overflow.

• The My Menu feature can be used to customize menu items for easy and direct access with up to 72 options for configuring and sorting.

• Stacked drive mode and focus-mode dials, a dedicated AF-ON button, and a rear multi-selector provide greater efficiency when changing focus modes, points, or exposure settings.

• The integrated LAN terminal allows wired FTP transfers for remarkably fast transfer speeds. In addition, the first three characters of the filename can be customized to facilitate organization during post-production.

• The built-in Wi-Fi allows the a9 to instantly share images on mobile devices to share directly online to social networks, via email and to storage sites in the cloud. NFC (Near Field Communication) is also supported, which allows one-touch connection between the camera and compatible mobile devices; no complex configuration is required. Once connected, the linked mobile device can also display a live view image on its screen and remotely control the camera shutter.

• Bluetooth connectivity allows acquisition of location data.

• The magnesium alloy body design is lightweight and durable, and weather sealed for use in harsh environmental conditions.

• Built-in PC sync terminal for wired flash sync with strobe packets or wireless radio remote controls.
