Description
Featuring the world’s first1 full-frame image sensor with a global shutter system, the Sony a9 III Mirrorless Camera is a game changer, capturing fast-moving subjects with absolutely no image distortion and preserving split-second moments in stunning detail.
The next capture era starts now
The Alpha 9 III features the world’s first full-frame stacked 24.6 MP2 CMOS image sensor with a global shutter system. Unlike a rolling shutter sensor that records images sequentially from the top row of pixels to the bottom, the newly-developed Exmor RSTM image sensor exposes and reads all pixels simultaneously so the camera can capture fast-moving subjects with absolutely no distortion. Combined with a maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 (1/16,000 second during continuous shooting), the Alpha 9 III is a game changer for professional photography.
Blackout-free 120 fps continuous shooting
The Alpha 9 III is defined by speed and accuracy, enabling it to capture decisive moments with ease. It’s capable of shooting continuous bursts at up to 120 fps with full AF/AE tracking, all without viewfinder blackout, and its highly-advanced AI processing unit recognises subjects with astonishingly high precision and reliability.
Preserve split-second moments
At 1/80,000 second, the maximum shutter speed of the Alpha 9 III makes it easy to capture fast-moving subjects in almost any situation. What’s more, a compatible flash unit from Sony (such as the HVL-F60RM@ or the HVL-F46RM)5 can synchronise at all shutter speeds, eliminating the steep, nonlinear drop-off in illumination that occurs with high-speed sync (HSS) and ensuring even illumination across the image.
