The groundbreaking Alpha 9 III impresses with high-speed continuous shooting at up to 120 frames per second, distortion-free and blackout-free images, flash synchronization at all shooting speeds and much more. Product images show optional accessories and application examples .
This latest addition to the Alpha 9 series is a groundbreaking development and features a newly developed Exmor RS™ image sensor - the world's first stacked 24.6 megapixel CMOS full-frame sensor with global shutter system. A revolution in camera design, tailor-made for sports and wildlife photography. Distortion in fast-moving scenes and viewfinder blackout during still image capture are a thing of the past. The Alpha 9 III can shoot continuous bursts at an astonishing 120 frames per second with full AF and AE tracking. The Alpha 9 III AI processing unit guarantees unprecedented subject recognition accuracy. It offers a maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second to freeze fast-moving subjects and enables seamless flash synchronization at all shutter speeds up to 1/80,000 second, avoiding the brightness drop of High-Speed Sync (HSS) to capture challenging scenes
.A new technological edge
TheAlpha 9 III marks the beginning of a new era in photography. The newly developed Exmor RS™ image sensor is the world's first full-frame CMOS sensor with 24.6 megapixels and a global shutter system. No more distortion in fast-paced scenes. This pioneering technology guarantees perfect shots every time, even in video. High-resolution 4K video can be recorded at 120 fps without cropping, allowing precise preview of the angle of view. With 6K oversampling, it also delivers exceptional 4K image quality
.Capture all fleeting moments
Blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 120 frames per second to ensure no more moments are
missed.Thanks to the AI processor, all subjects are recognized and captured with impressive precision.
In addition,the new Pre-Capture function and Continuous Shooting Boost function allow you to either increase the frame rate or capture the action before pressing the shutter button, while retaining the option to shoot in RAW format
.The fastest and most accurate autofocus yet
In addition to Sony's outstanding AI-based autofocus, this camera now recognizes subjects' eyes from a distance, giving professionals additional ways to capture uncompromisingly sharp shots. The electronic viewfinder with 9.44 million pixels and fast refresh rates ensures that subjects always remain in focus, even in dynamic environments. This enables sharper, clearer focusing that exceeds expectations
.Shooting at lightning speed
Experience a breathtaking shutter speed of 1/80,000 second for the first time, making it possible to freeze moments that are imperceptible to the naked eye. In addition, the flash sync speed has been improved to match any desired shutter speed. Even in bright daylight, creativity can be unleashed in portrait photography
.The ultimate professional tool
The Alpha 9 III has been meticulously designed with professionals in mind, focusing on convenience and speed of execution. This camera offers a robust and durable body design that features a new grip for improved handling. With a 4-axis multi-angle display, new customizable buttons and improved connectivity, it has been designed to meet the needs of professional photographers
