this is the Sony A9 the latest
full-frame e-mount camera and it brings
some really revolutionary features to
the market let's take a
look the alpha 9 has some truly stunning
features and at the heart of it all is
the XO RS stacked SEMO sensor the
Stacked structure of the sensor enables
some really high-s speeded operation
such as 20 frames per second and also
enables silent shooting and blackout
free
viewfinder the 4D Focus system has 693
phase detection autofocus points built
into the image sensor and on top of that
you get great image quality with 24
megapix resolution High ISO capability
and a wide dynamic range and a 5axis
stabilizer built into the body
furthermore in terms of operability
we've raised the bar again so we now
have quad VGA OLED viewfinder with 3.69
million Dots and a refresh rate of up to
120 frames per second but you also have
some nice smaller additions on there
such as an autofocus joystick
touchscreen and a PC sync terminal land
terminal we've added a new battery with
the alpha 9 the new Zed series enabling
you to shoot for longer and there's dual
SD card slots of which we also have a
UHS 2 compatible slot as
well the alpha 9's revolutionary
features were all made possible because
of its xort RS sensor
now this is the first time that you've
ever seen this type of sensor on a
fullframe camera and what an xmor R
sensor is is it's a stacked seamos
sensor this means there's a separate
layer on the sensor dedicated mainly for
circuitry this enables the circuitry to
be much bigger and handle massive
amounts of datas coming from the pixels
that enables the 20 frames per second
shooting coming off that sensor
furthermore it means that we can do 20
frames per second shooting with silent
shutter so it makes absolutely no noise
this means you can shoot in situations
that you've just not been able to shoot
it in the past where you're not allowed
to make a
noise on top of that this special sensor
also enables blackout free shooting so
that means that while you're looking
through the viewfinder you have no
interruption of your view so there's no
mirror flapping up and down causing any
blackout or no notable refresh in the
viewfinder at all you can always see
your subject the alpha 9 is our first
full-frame ount camera to feature 4D
Focus 4D focus is a sign of quality for
the autofocus system on our cameras and
what it means is it's got a really wide
area of autofocus it can focus really
quickly and it's going to be really good
at tracking moving subjects there are
693 autofocus points built into the
image sensor of the alpha 9 and they
cover 93% of the image sensor so that
means that wherever the subject is in
the frame the camera is going to be able
to track it and that's just
revolutionary for fullframe
cameras in terms of the speed it's about
25% quicker than an Alpha 7R Mark I and
our eye autofocus system which is very
well appreciated within the market where
it will be able to track a subject's eye
very easily even in autofocus continuous
has been improved once
more in terms of low light capab ility
it can focus down to EV minus 3 so in
some really challenging situations and
all this is made possible because of
that xmore RS sensor because of the
high-speed data output it can actually
do 60 autofocus and auto exposure
calculations every second so while
you're shooting at 20 frames per second
three times between shots it can
actually calculate the autofocus and the
auto exposure and that's mind-blowing
the alpha 9 is capable of producing
excellent images and this is down to the
24 map resolution sensor it has an ISO
capability of
24,800 and on top of that it really
gives a wide dynamic
range we have our steady shot inside
feature here as well so we have a
built-in stabilizer in the body giving
up to five steps of effective correction
so even more than that Alpha 7R Mark II
or S Mark I when you combine that higher
ISO capability with a 5axis stabilizer
which again being in the body means
whatever lens you put on the front
you've always got stabilization and the
low light possibilities are almost
endless we also have now added a
joystick onto the back of the cameras so
this means if you're in flexible spot
mode or expanded flexible spot mode you
can very quickly and easily change your
focus points we've also added a
touchcreen on the camera as well so if
you want to touch to select your focus
point you now have that option on here
as well
for the menu system we have a similar
interface that you might have seen on
Alpha 6500 or Alpha 99 Mark I but
something we've added thanks to user
feedback is my menu so here you can now
add your favorite options and customize
it to your wishes you can create up to
30 different options that you want to
have easily accessible within that menu
and you can sort them into the order
that you want as well with the alpha 9
we've also introduced a new battery this
is our Z series battery the MP
fz100 and it has 2.2 times the amount as
the MP fw50 which you're probably
familiar with from our Alpha 7 Series
and our other e-at cameras so that's
going to enable you to shoot for a lot
longer whether it's with Stills or video
to further enhance the operability of
the camera we've also added some other
smaller points so you get a dial on top
here for drive mode you have single shot
or you have bur shooting in high mode at
20 frames per second medium at 10 frames
per second or low at 5 frames per second
as well as self-time and bracketing and
beneath this dial you can separately
select your autofocus mode so AFS for
single shot autofocus AFC for continuous
direct manual focus and manual focus
also accessible here and we've added
other small touches such as an afon
button at the back so for people who
like to back button Focus this is easily
accessible but like many of the buttons
on the camera it's also customizable
you'll notice that the dial on the back
of the camera is slightly bigger and
sturdier than we've had on other cameras
there's more defined clicks so this
means you can be very precise and not
scared of touching it by accident so
there you have it the alpha 9 a real
game Cher it has that revolutionary
xmore RS fullframe sensor which enables
20 frames per second shooting which can
be in complete silence the blackout 3
viewfinder which is 3.69 million Dots
and a refresh rate of 120 frames per
second
that amazing 4D autofocus system with
693 autofocus points covering
93% of the sensor looking down to EV
minus 3 great image quality 24 megapixel
resolution High ISO capability and that
5axis stabilizer built inside a much
improved operability so now you get a
joystick on the back to change autofocus
points you have touch screens you have
additional dials and customization
options on there as well as dual SD card
slots and a longer lasting battery all
in all it gives you a really promising
camera if you'd like to find out more
