It is integrated with 35mm full-frame Exmor RS CMOS sensor that processes data up to 20 times faster than the previous Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Combined with the new BIONZ X processor and front-end LSI, this catapults a record-breaking speed of the new A9 taking up the larger continuous shooting buffer to enable the 20fps AF/AE tracking up to 362 JPEG or 241 RAW images. The sensor also enables the camera to extend the ISO range from 100 to 51200.

The full-frame mirrorless shooter has a radar of 693 phase detection AF points covering approximately 93% of the frame, ensuring the photographers to capture and track every moving subjects across the frame.

Compared with the A7R II, the A9?s Fast Hybrid AF System achieves 25% faster performance and has excellent tracking speed and precision of contrast AF. It tracks motion with higher accuracy, calculating AF/AE at 60 times per second regardless of the shutter release and frame capture.

When the shutter is released while shooting still images, the electronic viewfinder will show seamless live view of the captured subject.
