Alpha 9 III Full-frame camera with a global shutter image sensor | ILCE-9M3 (Body Only)
A new movement
The next capture era starts now
The α9 III features the world’s first¹ full-frame stacked 24.6 MP² CMOS image sensor with a global shutter system. Unlike a rolling shutter sensor that records images sequentially from the top row of pixels to the bottom, the newly-developed Exmor RS™ image sensor exposes and reads all pixels simultaneously so the camera can capture fast-moving subjects with absolutely no distortion. Combined with a maximum shutter speed of 1/80000 second (1/16000 second during continuous shooting)³ , the α9 III is a game changer for professional photography.

Blackout-free, 120 fps continuous shooting
The α9 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 120 fps with full AF/AE tracking⁴, all without viewfinder blackout, and its highly-advanced AI processing unit recognises subjects with astonishingly high precision and reliability.
Preserve split-second moments
The maximum shutter speed of 1/80000 second³ is available during continuous burst shooting in addition to single shooting modes⁵, making it easy to capture fast-moving subjects in almost any situation.The shutter speed during continuous shooting can be set up to 1/80000 sec.³ A compatible flash unit from Sony (such as the HVL-F60RM2 or HVL-F46RM)⁶ can synchronise at all shutter speeds, eliminating the steep, nonlinear drop-off in illumination that occurs with high-speed sync (HSS) and ensuring even illumination across the image.

Among interchangeable-lens digital cameras. As of the November 2023 product announcement. Sony survey.
-
Approximate, effective.
-
Maximum shutter speed is 1/16000 when an aperture larger than F1.8 is used. 1/80000 second speed not available when shooting movies, when using the Var. Shutter function, or when no lens is mounted.
-
Sony test conditions. Maximum continuous frame rate may be lower in some shooting conditions. Continuous shooting speed may vary depending on the lens used in AF-C focus modes. Visit Sony’s support web page for lens compatibility information.
-
New Software update (Ver. 2.00 or later) is required.
-
If the shutter speed is set faster than 1/10000, brightness and colour may change. Further, depending on the shutter speed setting, the light level may be insufficient, and may not reach the set manual flash output.
