14bit RAW 50mp stacked sensor with a sensor readout of around 4msec allowing electronic shutter flash sync to 1/200th sec!
5 axis “5.5EV” IBIS
30 fps burst shooting with electronic shutter and full AF (lossy compressed Raw/JPEG only, and only with certain lenses, and only at speeds shorter than 1/125th sec and 1/250th sec for AF-C)
lossless compressed Raw offered for first time on a Sony ILC but only to 20fps burst
ISO invariant over two ranges: 100-400, 500-102,400
9.44M-dot OLED blackout-free EVF with 0.9x magnification (in 240fps mode, resolution falls to 1600 x 1200 and magnification to 0.7x)
3“ 1.44M-dot tilting touchscreen
flash sync 1/400th sec mechanical (1/500th sec in APS-C crop mode), 1/200th sec electronic shutter (1/250th sec in APS-C crop mode)
oversampled 21MP stills capture mode to keep file sizes down as necessary
16 shot 200MP pixel shift HiRes mode
4 or 16 shot sensor shift 50mp images not needing demosaicing
8K 10-bit 4:2:0 uncropped 30p H.265 200 or 400Mbps video recording with Log and pixel-binned full width 4K 60p Raw video out over HDMI
8K 8-bit 4:2:0 video stream over HDMI
4K/120p (10-bit 4:2:2) capture with a 1.13x crop
at room temperature can record over an hour of 8K/24p video before overheating then requires 15 min cool down
AF points cover approximately 92% of the frame
AF sensitivity to -4EV with an f/2.0 lens (a9II and a7RIV were -3EV)
new shutter unit rated for 500,000 actuations to 1/8000th sec at max burst of 10fps (electronic allows 1/32,000th sec and you can enable a recorded click sound instead of silent)
can set mechanical shutter to close on power down to reduce dust on senor when changing lenses at risk of damage to the more delicate mechanical shutter
