The Sony a9 combines several powerful features together in one body to make a flagship multimedia system. It features 4K full frame video, exhibits significantly reduced rolling shutter effects (choose between mechanical shutter or rolling shutter modes), and supports un-cropped 1080p slow motion up to 120 FPS. Uncompressed HDMI out enables the use of optional external recorders for clean 4K recording with 4:2:2 sampling while internal 4K recording is possible in frame rates up to 30 FPS (at 30 FPS, drops down to Super 35mm). Enhanced Zebra function allows for easy monitoring of exposure values with video signal level targets that can be set from 0-109 while a built-in time code feature assists in more precise editing later.

Packed inside the weather sealed, magnesium-alloy a9 body is 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization that corrects for both pitch and yaw adjustments. The 693 AF points cover around 93% of the image area, dense enough for extremely fast and accurate focusing of moving subjects. For manual focusing, a peaking function will highlight your sharpest areas or you can also use the built-in focus magnifier. Thanks to the stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor system, data processing speed is 20x faster than previous Sony full frame mirrorless cameras. All of these features make the a9 an ideal camera for videography.
