Sony A9 III + 85mm

Features of the SONY A9 III

Claiming the title of the world's first global shutter mirrorless camera, the SONY a9 III is a fast and incredibly capable system for sports, wildlife, photojournalism and much, much more. This revolutionary sensor technology raises the bar for full-frame imaging, including the ability to shoot raw continuously at up to 120 fps and enjoy flash sync up to the maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second. Combining the functionality of this 24.6 MP sensor with SONY 's powerful BIONZ XR processor and AI processing unit results in a system that will provide unmatched performance for those looking for an incredibly responsive and reliable camera system.

Global shutter: a first for mirrorless cameras
SONY has introduced the world's first full-frame global shutter mirrorless camera: the a9 III. The use of a global shutter represents a leap in performance over the rolling shutter technology used for decades. A global shutter provides near-instantaneous, simultaneous readout of all 24.6 MP, eliminating distortion and other artifacts that plagued rolling shutters. It also far surpasses mechanical shutter technology in every way, making the physical shutter unnecessary on the a9 III.

Global shutters help ensure consistent, even exposure throughout the frame in all lighting conditions. Flash sync is possible at any shutter speed, even up to a maximum of 1/80,000 second. Simultaneous readout also avoids banding from certain light sources, such as fluorescent lights. In a gymnasium, outdoors or in mixed artificial lighting, the a9 III will handle it with ease.

Pre-shot and speed boost: never miss a moment
Along with the key technology provided by the sensor, the a9 III offers new features to unlock the camera's full potential.

• Pre-capture: the a9 III can be set to start recording buffered images when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. Users can set this between 0.05 and 1.0 seconds. When the shutter button is pressed, these images will be saved to the memory card.
• Speed Boost: Not every shot requires the a9 III's impressive 120 fps top speed. With Speed Boost and the C5 button, which is conveniently located near the grip on the front of the camera, users can instantly switch their camera from its usual continuous shooting frame rate to a faster one to ensure their next shot is just right. Photographers will be able to select multiple frame rates up to 120 fps.

Professional-quality 4K video
While video benefits greatly from the use of global shutter technology (rolling shutters and banding artifacts are completely eliminated), the a9 III has many other video improvements over its predecessor that are worth talking about.

• The a9 III captures and downscales the full 6K image area resolution to produce high-quality 4K UHD video at up to 60 fps. It can also record 4K at up to 120 fps without cropping.
• Record 10-bit 4:2:2 internally using All-I encoding for maximum quality.
• Unformatted 16-bit output via the full-size HDMI port to a compatible external recorder.
• S-Log3, S-Cinetone and other picture profiles are available to optimize the picture for your workflow and production environment.

Refined body design
With a new generation of Alpha series cameras come some minor tweaks and modifications designed to make system operation more ergonomic. The a9 III features a few updates:

• Addition of the custom C5 button to the front of the camera body.
• The continuous shooting mode dial can now be disabled and the shutter speed can be adjusted in the menu.
• Improved grip and the shutter button has been moved slightly to provide a more ergonomic experience.
• Dual CFexpress Type A/SD card slots provide versatility, allowing users to use existing media or choose the faster CFexpress options to take full advantage of the camera
• CFexpress options to take full advantage of the a9 III's increased speed.
• The USB-C port now offers faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds of up to 10 Gb/s.
• Multi-angle, 3-axis, 3.2", 2.1m-dot, 4-axis LCD multi-angle touchscreen, first seen on the a7R V. This display has a wide color gamut covering the DCI-P3 space.
• OLED electronic viewfinder with 9.44 million dots and 0.90x magnification with a maximum refresh rate of 240 fps. The a9 III benefits from a top-quality display of up to 120 fps.
• Ethernet port for advanced networking and data transfer workflows.
• The optional VG-C5EM vertical grip is designed to match the updated ergonomics of the a9 III, including the new C5 button.

Future firmware updates
The SONY a9 III will improve over time and there are some details on what to expect in future firmware updates:

• The ability to shoot continuously at up to 120 fps when using the maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second.
• Workflow improvements for IPTC metadata and FTP functions.
• Addition of Content Authenticity Initiative C2PA technology.
