Utilizing the proven 24.2MP full-frame Exmor RS BSI stacked CMOS sensor and an updated BIONZ X processor, the a9 II sports especially quick and responsive shooting capabilities. And the updated construction now sports a more ergonomic shape, improved weather sealing, and better connectivity and transfer speeds. 24.2MP Full-Frame Stacked CMOS SensorBuilt for speed, the a9 II utilizes a 24.2MP Exmor RS BSI stacked CMOS sensor, along with an updated BIONZ X image processor, that yields impressively quick and responsive performance. Up to 20 fps continuous shooting is possible using an electronic shutter or 10 fps shooting is supported with a mechanical shutter. The sensor's back-illuminated design also affords high sensitivity to an extended ISO 204800 with reduced noise for clean image quality in a variety of lighting conditions. Additionally, uncompressed raw files can be recorded in 14-bit for greater color fidelity and post-production flexibility.BIONZ X Processing and Electronic ShutterThe BIONZ X processor also works in conjunction with a high-speed front-end LSI to realize faster processing times along with a wide dynamic range with smooth tonal rendering. Benefitting the fast recording capabilities is an equally quick AF/AE metering system that functions at 60 times per second to continuously evaluate the scene in order to lock onto and track moving subjects. Automatic anti-flicker shooting also recognizes and times the shutter action to minimize the flicker effect for more consistent results on still images. Additionally, due to the use of an electronic shutter, totally blackout-free monitoring is possible with the electronic viewfinder for more accurate compositions of moving subjects.Fast Hybrid Af SystemCovering 93% of the image area, a Fast Hybrid AF system incorporates 693 phase-detection points along with 425 contrast-detection areas for quick and precise focusing in a variety of lighting conditions with sensitivity down to -3 EV. The density of focusing points from this hybrid AF system also enables High-density Tracking AF Technology, which is adept at tracking moving subjects in a variety of lighting conditions. Updated AF algorithms also benefit maintaining critical focus on erratically or unpredictably moving subjects.Lock-on AF maintains focus on moving subjects throughout the use of a configurable frame that is set over the desired moving subjectExpand Flexible Spot employs neighboring focus points to retain focus on moving subjects even if the originally selected point loses focusFocus frame color is selectable, between white and red, and AF tracking is possible with apertures narrower than f/16 with select lenses when working in Focus Priority modeEye AF can be used to base focus on recognized human subjects' eyes for portraits and is available in both AF-S and AF-C modes, for both stills and video. Eye AF can be used when photographing animal subjects, too, with any focusing mode when shooting stillsFocus Magnifier function can be used for critical focus when homing in on minute subject detailsRear touchscreen can also be used for Touch Focus control, and a Touchpad Focus Control mode lets you use the rear screen intuitively while keeping your eye to the viewfinderWhen working in AF-C mode, the focus point can be moved while the shutter button is half-pressed, making it easier to quickly shift focus without losing sight of the action5-Axis Steadyshot Inside Image StabilizationThe a9 II incorporates an enhanced 5.5-stop effective 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization system, which compensates for five different types of camera shake encountered during handheld shooting of stills and video. This allows users to confidently use any lens, even adapted lenses, for critical imaging without encountering blur from camera shake.For long focal lengths, the system will correct for pitch and yaw adjustments. Macro and high-magnification imagery, on the other hand, will benefit from the inclusion of horizontal and vertical shift compensation. All shooting styles will get usage out of the roll compensation. All 5 axes of stabilization will function at all times, even when used with third-party lenses and adapters or lenses with built-in optical stabilization.SONY A9 II SPECS Lens Mount Sony E Sensor Resolution Actual: 28.3 Megapixel, Effective: 24.2 Megapixel (6000 x 4000) Sensor Type 35.6 x 23.8 mm (Full-Frame) CMOS Image Stabilization Sensor-Shift, 5-Axis Built-In ND Filter None Shutter Type Electronic Shutter, Mechanical Focal Plane Shutter Bulb/Time Mode Bulb Mode Aspect Ratio 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 16:9 Image File Format JPEG, Raw Bit Depth 14-Bit Wireless Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Display Type Tilting Touchscreen LCD Viewfinder Type Built-In Electronic (OLED) Focus Type Auto and Manual Focus Focus Mode Continuous-Servo AF, Direct Manual Focus, Manual Focus, Single-Servo AF Autofocus Points Phase Detection: 693, Contrast Detection: 425 Autofocus Sensitivity -3 to 20 EV Battery Type 1 x NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion, 7.2 VDC, 2280 mAh (Approx. 500 Shots) Tripod Mounting Thread 1 x 1/4"-20 Female (Bottom) Accessory Mount 1 x Hot Shoe Mount Material of Construction Magnesium Alloy Weight 678 g (With Battery, Recording Media)
