Sony a9 III Mark III 35.6 x 23.8 mm (Full-Frame) CMOS, 4K 120p 10-bit Video, Camera - Black (Sony E)

Laying claim to the title of world's first global shutter mirrorless camera, the Sony a9 III is a speedy and incredibly capable system for sports, wildlife, photojournalism, and much, much more.
This revolutionary sensor technology raises the bar for full-frame imaging, including the ability to shoot raw continuously at up to 120 fps and enjoy flash sync up to the maximum shutter speed of 1/80,000 second.
Blending the functionality of this 24.6MP sensor with Sony's powerful BIONZ XR processor and AI Processing Unit results in a system that will provide unmatched performance for those looking for an incredibly responsive and reliable camera system.

° Global Shutter - A First for Mirrorless
Sony has delivered the world's first full-frame global shutter mirrorless camera with the a9 III.
The use of a global shutter provides a leap in performance over the rolling shutter technology used for decades.
A global shutter provides a near instantaneous and simultaneous readout of all 24.6MP, eliminating skew and other artifacts that plagued rolling shutters.
It also far surpasses mechanical shutter technology is every way, making the physical shutter unnecessary in the a9 III.

Global shutters help ensure consistent and uniform exposure across the entire frame in all lighting conditions.
Flash sync is possible at any shutter speed-even the maximum of 1/80,000 second.
The simultaneous readout also prevents banding from certain light sources, such as fluorescent lighting.
In a gym, outside, or with mixed artificial lighting the a9 III will handle it with ease.

° Pro-Quality 4K Video
The a9 III captures and downsamples the full 6K image area to produce high-quality UHD 4K video up to 60 fps.
It can also record 4K up to 120 fps with no crop.

Record 10-bit 4:2:2 internally using All-I encoding for maximum quality.

Output 16-bit raw via the full-size HDMI port to a compatible external recorder.

S-Log3, S-Cinetone, and other Picture Profiles are available for optimizing the image for your workflow and production environment.
