The Sony a9 III is a revolutionary mirrorless camera that blends incredible speed, unmatched imaging accuracy, and world-first technology—built for professionals who demand perfection every frame.

The next capture era starts now

The a9 III features the world’s first full-frame stacked 24.6 MP 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 RS 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 second (1/16000 second during continuous shooting).

Blackout-free, 120fps continuous shooting

The a9 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 120fps with full AF/AE tracking, all without viewfinder blackout, and its highly advanced AI processing unit recognizes subjects with astonishingly high precision and reliability.

Preserve split-second moments

At 1/80000 second, the maximum shutter speed of the a9 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-F60RM2 or HVL-F46RM) can synchronize 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.

Exmor RS image sensor with global shutter system

The new full-frame global shutter image sensor is equipped with 24.6 million effective pixels, a stacked CMOS architecture and integral memory. This offers high resolution, overwhelming speed, and simultaneous full-pixel readout, so even fast-moving subjects can be captured distortion-free.

BIONZ XR image processing engine

Up to eight times more power than prior versions, the BIONZ XR image processing engine minimizes latency while boosting processing power. The high volume of data generated by the newly developed Exmor RS image sensor can be processed in real time even while shooting continuously at up to 120fp
