- Key Specs
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Effective Pixels: 24.6 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: ILCE9M3B
- Product Name: Alpha 9 III Full-frame Mirrorless Camera with Global Shutter
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Sony a9
- Digital Camera Type: Mirrorless Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm)
- Total Pixels: 24.6 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 3840 x 2160 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 1.5x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Up to 1/80000 seconds maximum (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Effective Pixels: 24.6 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: false
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: 2095K dot (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Compatibility
- Memory Card Compatibility: CFexpress, Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Face Detection: true (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
- Integrated GPS: Yes
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, WiFi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- PictBridge Enabled: false (PictBridge allows digital cameras, camcorders and other image capture devices to connect and print directly to photo printers and other output devices without using a computer.)

The SEL300F28GM is the lightest large-aperture telephoto lens in its class, delivering outstanding optical performance and astonishingly fast, precise AF in a versatile lens that weighs just 51.9 oz. (excluding tripod mount). This lens has been designed for ideal balance; allowing precise, agile lens movement and panning while shooting handheld.
- World's First Full Frame Global Shutter: The Alpha 9 III features the world’s first full-frame image sensor with global shutter. Unlike a rolling shutter that records images sequentially, the newly developed Exmor RS sensor exposes and reads all pixels simultaneously for capture of fast-moving subjects with absolutely no distortion.
- Blackout-free, 120fps Continuous Shooting: The Alpha 9 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, with no viewfinder blackout, and its AI processor recognizes subjects with astonishingly high reliability.
- Preserve Split-second Moments: At 1/80,000 second maximum shutter speed, the Alpha 9 III makes it easy to capture fast-moving subjects in almost any situation. Compatible flash units can synchronize at all shutter speeds, eliminating drop-off in illumination that occurs with high-speed sync and ensuring even illumination.
- Full-frame Backside Illuminated 24.6MP Exmor RS Image Sensor: The Alpha 9 III 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.
- Evolved BIONZ XR Image Processing Engine: With up to eight times more processing power than previous versions, the BIONZ XR processing engine minimizes latency and significantly boosts processing power, resulting in higher color gradation, more realistic color reproduction and reduced image noise.
- Composite RAW Shooting for Reduced Noise: Composite RAW Shooting captures multiple images which can be merged using Sony’s Imaging Edge Desktop application to create full-resolution images with low noise. This makes it possible to shoot at high shutter speeds or in low light, achieving exceptional image quality even at higher ISO settings.
- Advanced Optical 5-axis Image Stabilization: Shoot handheld with confidence. The Alpha 9 III equips a high-precision image stabilization unit, advanced gyro sensors, and optimized image stabilization algorithms to effectively detect and correct camera shake, offering 8.0-step stabilization.
- Up to 120 AF/AE Tracking Calculations Per Second: The high-speed readout of the new sensor enables the Alpha 9 III to make up to 120 AF/AE calculations per second, twice that of its predecessor. AF tracks complex subject motions and predicts sudden movements with greater precision than ever before, while AE responds to sudden brightness variations.
- Never Miss an Instant with Pre-Capture: Pre-Capture records moments that occur before the shutter is released. Settable from 0.005 to 1 second, it makes it easier to capture split-second moments, such as images of birds taking flight, even if actual shutter release is a little late.
- Capture the Decisive Moment with Continuous Shooting Speed Boost: Continuous Shooting Speed Boost temporarily boosts the shooting speed while shooting bursts, ensuring you capture all the action. This is beneficial when shooting sports and other fast-paced activities when the timing of the key moment can be roughly predicted.
