Sony Alpha A9 Digital Camera Body

  • What only α9 can do?

    This mechanism-free camera can deliver a-class-above performance conventional mechanical SLRs have only sought. For example, this system realises a totally blackout-free viewfinder while conventional systems can only try to reduce blackout time. A high-speed, vibration-free, silent Anti-Distortion shutter vastly extends the range of shooting situations while a mechanical system can only aim for lower vibration and quieter shutter release sound. α9 provides continuous tracking of moving subjects for foolproof AF/AE while traditional SLRs can only challenge such AF/AE performance improvements. Moreover, α9 allows its viewfinder to show not only images of the subject — available on conventional systems — but also the final image of a shot. Now, thanks to a new image sensor that superbly manages all these roles, you can surpass all expectation with α9.

    Note: This camera is equipped with electronic and mechanical shutters. The features described in this section are primarily related to electronic shutter operation.






  • Driving force for full-electronic revolution

    Innovative full-frame stacked CMOS sensor with integral memory

    α9 liberates you from the limits of conventional SLRs that rely on mechanical systems. First1 to use high-speed stacked design, its 24.2-megapixel2 full-frame image sensor temporarily stores large-volume data in the integral memory for overall 20 times faster readout speed3. The combination of CMOS sensor and enhanced BIONZ X image-processing engine brings you true digital freedom.

Capture the previously uncatchable

  • High-speed continuous shooting at up to 20fps

    Groundbreaking full-frame Exmor RS CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor team up for 20fps continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking. Stunning high-speed performance and ample buffer let you capture the decisive moment.

  • Blackout-free shooting

    Non-mechanical electronic shutter eliminates blackout with typical SLR mirror action. An uninterrupted view of the subject is available even during shutter release, with 60fps live-view capability and minimal display lag in continuous shooting. (A) Blackout-free shooting (B) Shooting with blackout

Track the action with an uninterrupted view

  • AF/AE calculations up to 60 times/sec.

    Light directly reaches the image sensor without mechanical interruption. An ingenious fusion of mirrorless construction and new speed-enhancing technologies provides AF/AE at the full-frame focal plane.

    (1) AF/AE calculations (2) 60times/sec (3) 20 frames/sec

  • Electronic shutter speeds up to 1/32000 sec.

    Electronic shutter speeds up to 1/32000 sec.7 far surpass mechanical shutters for a new imaging expression. You can also maintain shallow depth of field without an ND filter, even under bright conditions.

    (A mode 1/20000 sec. F8.0 ISO 1000)

Silence expands photographic potential

  • No noise distraction

    An anti-distortion8 electronic shutter allows silent shooting without mechanical mirror and shutter noise. It’s ideal for sports and subjects that demand quiet operation, greatly expanding camera versatility

  • No unwanted vibration

    During SLR shooting, mirror shock and shutter release shock cause subtle vibration. α9, however, has a vibration-free electronic shutter that can keep the camera stable, for razor-sharp images.

  • 4D FOCUS: Stunningly wide coverage

    693. Remarkable number of phase-detection AF points

    The phase-detection points on the surface of an image sensor — 693 AF points — covers approximately 93% of the image area. High-precision performance assures your focus on subjects.

  • 4D FOCUS: Fast AF speed

    Fast Hybrid AF achieves rapid AF for full-frame photos

    Capture fast-moving subjects with reliable rapid AF. The speed and accuracy of this Fast Hybrid AF System are further improved in combination with the enhanced BIONZ X image processing engine.

  • 4D FOCUS: Steadfast tracking

    Reliable subject tracking in motion

    Uninterrupted AF and optimised AF algorithm dramatically enhance AF accuracy and tracking. Even during shutter release, constantly activated AF lets you continue tracking random subject motion.

  • Eye AF for more precise focusing

    Eye detection — enhanced by 30% through improved face detection — keeps the subject’s eye in focus, even if the face is turned at an angle or partially shaded. Wide focal-plane phase-detection AF sensor shows its ability in challenging shots.

  • Reliable even in low light

    Capture subjects with high AF precision down to light levels as low as EV-3 at ISO 100, due to the high sensitivity image sensor.

  • A-mount lens AF support

    Focal-plane phase-detection AF system with 693 AF points functions reliably. Enjoy up to 10fps continuous shooting12 with AF/AE tracking even when you use A-mount lenses with a mount adapter (LA-EA3).

 

  • New CMOS sensor for imaging excellence

    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. Standard ISO range is ISO 100-51200, expandable to ISO 50-20480015 with minimum noise.

  • Technology for high-quality images

    Utilise high-quality imaging that unites all available image sensor technologies — including back-illuminated structure, gapless on-chip lens architecture.

  • BIONZ X enhanced speed image processor

    Enhanced image processing combined with new front-end LSI reduces noise while improving detail depiction over a wide sensitivity range. Improved detail rendering enables lifelike texture reproduction.

  • Uncompressed 14-bit RAW

    Uncompressed 14-bit RAW format is supported, and it or the current compressed RAW format can be selected as required. Uncompressed 14-bit RAW is a good choice in situations where the sensor's wide dynamic range and fine gradation reproduction will benefit the images being captured.

Beautiful 4K imaging

High-resolution quality of 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 full-frame pixel readout without binning results in the highest possible 4K movie image quality.

 

  • Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder™

    The new high-resolution 3686k-dot electronic viewfinder (EVF) shows a clear image with fine detail. The legendary ZEISS® T* Coating greatly reduces reflections. Smooth EVF images realised by 120fps frame rate even allow you to easily track a subject in fast motion. Fluorine coating on the outermost lens provides improved protection from dirt.

  • 5-axis image stabilisation

    New body-integrated 5-axis image stabilisation unit offers a 5.0-stop shutter speed advantage. The live-view monitor image is also stabilised, so you can compose images easily even when shooting a fast-moving subject. (1) Yaw (2) Pitch (3) Roll

  • Battery stamina for professional use

    A newly developed NP-FZ100 battery offers approximately twice10 the life of the previous NP-FW50. Capture up to approx. 480 still frames on one charge — and further increase the number of shots with an attached optional vertical grip (sold separately) that can hold two batteries

  • Dual media slots

    Use two slots — one for SD and one for SD/Memory Stick cards — to simultaneously backup still/movie data, save RAW/JPEG images to different cards, and copy between cards. Lower card slot supporting UHS-II type cards is available for fast transfer speed.

  • FTP file transfer

    A new terminal for wired LAN connection lets you transfer still images to an FTP server for viewing and management. Since FTPS (File Transfer Protocol over SSL/TLS) is supported, image files can be encrypted while being transferred.

  • My Menu & new menu interface

    A new My Menu feature lets you register up to 30 menu items for instant recall, arrange items in any order, and erase unused items. Also, primary menus have been reorganised for smoother search and operation.

AF now up to professional standard. Silent shooting without having to really worry about the negatives of using an electronic shutter such as banding and rolling shutter. Button layout much better. New joystick works amazingly for moving AF point very quickly and easily. Much better battery. 20fps shooting is just rediculously amazing. Depending on what you are shooting it can be overkill and just fill your cards but it very nice to have the option. The new My Menu tab in the menu now is a great addition that Sony should give all of its Apha cameras via firmware update really. Movie button ha been moved to a much better location. EVF is one of the best available now. Big bright and high frame rate giving exceptional clear and sharp picture with zero blackout which is a very nice creature that you quickly get spoilt with and notice blackout a lot more when reverting to use another camera. Also really nice to have a huge buffer and an indicator option on the display showing how full the buffer is getting when shooting multiple shots so you can avoid filling the buffer. Also nice to be able to hit play and review images whilst the buffer is unloading and the camera shows how many files are left to unload from the buffer during this time too which is great. Very nice to have to ability to set override functions for AF for instance. You are able to set the AF on back button focus to have an override feature and be set to always use single shot focus rather than continuous even if you are set to continuous on the physical dial. This allows to always quickly use focus recompose technique if needed. Finally 2 SD card slots.

AF is great but don't overly depend on functions such as eye AF. It often works very well, but have still had a higher success rate when compared to the standard focus recompose. Eye AF is a very nice function when it is dead on but sometimes it can't alway keep up in a dynamic situation for a professional shoot when you have to nail the majority of shots. Reliability of AF is always more important than ease of use in a professional situation. Nice to have 2 card slots. Downside only is that only Slot 1 is UHS ii and Slot 2 is UHS i. Would have been nice to have both at USH ii really. Buffer is great but if you do fill it then you have to wait quite a long time whilst the camera is locked up. You are locked out of the menu whilst the buffer is unloading files even if it's just a few. It is fast however provided you haven't filled the buffer and this is only a minor downside as menu use shouldn't be so important at this time anyway. Grip is still a bit too small for a professional camera where you can be holding and handling it for a long time such as during a wedding. A grip extender can be bought but this takes up the thread attachment at the bottom, covers the battery door and is over £100 for a tiny piece of plastic. Tilt screen is nice but still limited on how much you can tilt it. Touch screen is available but limited use and not really that useful in real situations. Battery is good but still not as good as dslr competitors. This is expected however due to EVF and more power usage required during use.

Super quick in all respects - fps, image review, AF, tracking, eye-AF, the lot.

Little ergonomic things, like screen not auto blanking if it's popped out, zoom during AF, extra dial for focus mode and frame rate, improved menu system, customisable buttons all over the place, mymenu, etc.

Utterly versatile; brilliant for just about any genre but particularly any run-and-gun or demanding fast-action stuff (street, weddings, events, wildlife, and sport of course).

The 24mp sensor hits the sweet spot in size for nearly every use - less slugging of the computer compared to A7r2 (42mp). Only a negligible trade off of less than 1-stop of dynamic range for speed (compared to a7r2) and really no issue in practice. ISO performance remains on par.

With a7r2 as a backup for landscape and other hi-res uses, I have the best setup I ever owned - bar none!

A7r2 made photography fun again for me (I switched from Canon a year ago). The A9 raised this to a level I thought I could only dream of. The camera practically becomes invisible, it's just you and the subject or scene, and the A9 gets on and does what you need it to do. And then some.

If you think you need this camera, don't hesitate, get it! You will not regret it.

Removal of profiles like S-Log (that are available on a7r2). They are useful for stills as well as video.

Sony support could be a lot better (but no problems with the A9 yet, so not an immediate issue).
