Sony Alpha 9 III Overview

Design

The Sony Alpha 9 III has a “new ergonomic design” that uses lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy for its chassis. Similarly, it uses silicone rubber packing around the buttons, lens mount, and other areas. In terms of dimensions, it measures 136.10 x 96.90 x 82.90 mm.

Furthermore, it features a 4-axis multi-angle monitor allowing unrestricted angle adjustment when shooting. It is a 3.2-type touchscreen TFT LCD with a 2.1 million dot resolution, a wide colour gamut, and ample brightness. In addition, the Sony A9 III comes with an approximately 9.44 million dot OLED viewfinder that includes 0.90x magnification with a 41° field of view.

Sensor and Global Shutter

This is the headline feature of the Sony Alpha 9 III with the newly developed Exmor RS image sensor. It is the world’s first full-frame stacked 24.6 MP CMOS image sensor with a global shutter system. This is to say, this sensor exposes every pixel at the same time producing no distortion.

Furthermore, it is a 35mm full-frame sensor with 35.60 x 23.80 mm dimensions. The Sony A9 III is capable of achieving a maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 seconds for stills, and 1/16,000 seconds during continuous shooting. Lastly, it also has a shading curtain that protects the image sensor from dust and particles when changing the lenses.
