Overview Boasting the distinction of being the world's inaugural global shutter mirrorless camera, the Sony a9 III stands out as a swift and exceptionally proficient system tailored for sports, wildlife, photojournalism, and beyond. This groundbreaking sensor technology sets new standards for full-frame imaging, facilitating continuous raw shooting at speeds of up to 120 fps and enabling flash sync at the maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second. The seamless integration of this 24.6MP sensor with Sony's potent BIONZ XR processor and AI Processing Unit creates a camera system that delivers unparalleled performance, ensuring a highly responsive and reliable experience for users seeking top-tier capabilities.
Features The Next Capture Era Starts Now
The a9 III showcases the world's pioneering full-frame stacked 24.6 MP CMOS image sensor equipped with a global shutter system. Diverging from a rolling shutter sensor's sequential capture method, the newly designed Exmor RS(TM) image sensor exposes and reads all pixels simultaneously, ensuring distortion-free capture of fast-moving subjects. Paired with an impressive maximum shutter speed of 1/80000 second (1/16000 second during continuous shooting), the a9 III stands as a revolutionary tool for professional photography.
Blackout-Free Shooting
Enjoy an uninterrupted view through the blackout-free viewfinder, even during fast-paced continuous shooting - a game changer for shooting sports and other fast-moving subjects. What's more, the distracting time lag that is usually associated with EVF viewing has been reduced to a minimum, so that fleeting moments can be captured with confidence.
Real-Time Recognition AF
Equipped with an advanced AI processing unit, the a9 III utilizes subject form data for precise movement recognition. The human pose estimation technology goes beyond identifying eyes and includes accurate tracking of body and head positions. This capability allows the camera to lock onto and track subjects facing away or with obscured faces. Even a distant human subject occupying a minimal area of the frame, smaller than in previous Real-time Recognition AF iterations, can be recognized if positioned near the focus area when the shutter is half-pressed during continuous AF shooting. This enhances focus acquisition speed, particularly useful for capturing rapidly approaching athletes in events like track-and-field or skiing.

Flash Sync At All Shutter Speeds
When paired with a compatible Sony flash unit, such as the HVL-F60RM2 or HVL-F46RM, the a9 III achieves seamless full flash synchronization at the impressive maximum shutter speed of 1/80000 second. This capability enables the use of flash for additional subject illumination when capturing outdoor scenes in bright daylight with a high shutter speed. This reduces reliance on extensive lighting setups and significantly broadens creative shooting possibilities.

4K Distortion-Free Movies with High Resolution and Detail
Shoot 4K movies in either the full-frame or Super 35mm (approx. APS-C) formats. The a9 III captures 4K (3840 x 2160) movies at up to 120p, and at 60p with full pixel readout and 6K oversampling for dramatically reduced moire and jaggies.

4K 120p Without Cropping for the First Time in an a Body
For the first time in the a line-up from Sony, the a9 III offers 4K (3840 x 2160) 120p movie recording without cropping, allowing users to utilise the full angle of view provided by any lens. For example, 4K footage shot in slow motion 120p and footage shot at normal speed 24p within the same scene will have the same angle of view and can be easily edited together without the need for reframing.

Uniquely Flexible Tilting Monitor for Enhanced Shooting Flexibility
The a9 III features a 4-axis multi-angle monitor that combines the utility of a conventional tilting monitor with side-opening vari-angle flexibility, allowing for unrestricted angle adjustment whether shooting vertically or horizontally. Slim, unobtrusive, and robust, the mechanism enables the monitor to be pulled away from the rear of the body and tilted upward by up to 98o, downward by up to 40o, and swung sideways by up to 180o. The touch sensitive, 3.2 type LCD monitor is optimised for outdoor shooting, providing 2.1 million-dot resolution, a wide colour gamut and ample brightness for clear and easy viewing.

Excellent viewfinder specs and performance
The 9.44 million-dot (approx.) OLED viewfinder includes 0.90x magnification with a 41o FOV for a clear, wide view, and an updated structure that results in a 25 mm high eyepoint. An original optical design minimises aberration that can be distracting when looking around the viewfinder image, providing a more consistent viewing experience. Viewfinder and monitor lag time have also been reduced to allow more stable framing, especially during continuous shooting. The finder frame rate can be set to Standard (60 fps), High (120 fps), or Higher (240 fps). The 240 fps setting provides an extremely smooth viewfinder image with minimum motion blur when shooting moving subjects, and greatly reduces motion blur when panning or tilting.

Ergonomic Grip Design
The a9 III features a grip with a new shape that improves hold and reduces physical stress on the user, even when shooting with heavy telephoto lenses or for long periods of time. An ergonomically refined contour ensures that the grip fills the user's hand for a secure hold that does not cause fatigue.
