a9 II full-frame camera with pro capability
Operability, reliability and connectivity are refined to support professional needs, including, in addition to its reliable AF, up to 20fps blackout-free continuous shooting, silent shooting capabilities, and vibration-free Anti-distortion shutter.
Full-Frame Stacked CMOS Sensor with Integral Memory
A9 II is the mirrorless camera that delivers next-generation high-speed performance far exceeding SLRs. It's equipped with the outstanding 35 mm stacked CMOS image sensor with integral memory for impressively fast overall readout speed. This 24.2 MP image sensor achieves high sensitivity of up to ISO 204800 (extended) with the design of back-illuminated structure.
High-speed BIONZ X image processing engine
The camera's image-processing algorithms represent the latest generation of advancements, allowing higher levels of natural tonal gradations and more stable AWB for continuous shooting.
Uncompromising Image Quality
The combination of a 24.2 effective megapixel4 integral-memory full-frame stacked CMOS image sensor and the latest-generation BIONZ X makes possible high-sensitivity performance up to ISO 512005, high dynamic range, and support for 14-bit RAW output and 16-bit image processing. Together, they help capture maximum detail and image quality while reproducing rich tonal gradations and natural color, such as human skin.br>
Incredibly Fast Continuous Shooting
Thanks to the a9 II's incredible speed, continuous shooting is possible at up to 20fps1 with the electronic shutter and 10fps6 with the mechanical shutter, to capture fast-moving subjects with either shutter mode, and even at its highest speed, the flash can be synchronized with the mechanical shutter.
AF/AE Calculations up to 60 Times/sec
AF/AE is calculated up to 60 times per second and is virtually uninterrupted, both while composing the image and even upon releasing the shutter. Continuous AF/AE-operated on the image sensor-locks onto and tracks erratically moving subjects with high speed, precision, and reliability. Additionally, AWB Lock capability makes it possible to lock/unlock auto white balance operation at any time, which is useful in mixed lighting situations where natural and man-made light sources coexist.

Blackout-free Shooting with Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder
In continuous shooting, the electronic shutter system banishes blackout interruption typical of optical viewfinders, and the high-speed image sensor eliminates distracting EVF display lag. A high 120fps refresh rate minimizes display blurring of moving subjects, and the Quad-VGA OLED Tru-Finder with approx. 3.68 million-dot high resolution employs ZEISS T Coating to reduce reflections, with a dirt-repelling fluorine coating on the outer lens to enhance usability on location.

High-Speed 1/32000 sec Anti-Distortion Shutter
A result of Sony's image sensor innovation, this shutter achieves speeds up to 1/32000 sec, beyond the limits of mechanical systems. Additionally, the high curtain speed of the electronic shutter suppresses rolling shutter effect10 to excellently capture moving subjects during sports and other fast-moving activities.
Silent shooting
Explore the advantages of high-speed silent shooting3 with a shutter that is fully digital - without a physical mechanism. The electronic shutter allows silent shooting without mechanical mirror and shutter noise. It's ideal for sports and subjects that demand quiet operation, greatly expanding camera versatility.
