Sony Alpha 9 III camera with global shutter system and shooting speed up to 120 fps

The Sony Alpha 9 III camera in Ukraine represents a new stage in the world of photography, equipped with the world’s first full-frame image sensor with a global shutter.

The manufacturer notes that this device has a number of outstanding features, including an advanced autofocus system, BIONZ XR image processing chip and flash synchronization at all shooting speeds.

One of the key features of the Alpha 9 III is the ability to shoot burst images at up to 120 fps without distortion or blackout, making it an attractive choice for professional photographers, especially in fast-moving scenes.

The camera features a new full-frame CMOS image sensor with global shutter and 24.6 megapixels, as well as built-in memory. The Quad XGA OLED electronic viewfinder and 4-axis rotating touchscreen LCD display provide a comfortable shooting experience.

It’s important to note that the Alpha 9 III is capable of recording 4K 120p video without cropping and can shoot high-definition 4K 60p video with 6K oversampling. In addition, the camera has two Type A CFexpress card slots and supports UHS-I and UHS-II SD cards, as well as built-in 5GHz Wi-Fi for faster data transfer.

The cost of the Sony Alpha 9 III camera in Ukraine is approximately 284,999 UAH.

What is a global shutter in cameras

The global shutter captures all of its pixels at once. To understand the potential benefits this brings, it’s worth understanding the alternative: progressive shutters, used in most large-sensor cameras.

Most cameras use a mechanical shutter mechanism to end an exposure, and most also use it to start one. Mechanical shutters are usually a series of thin blades that cover the sensor to prevent additional light from reaching it beyond the time you want to take the photo. But although they move very quickly, starting and ending the exposure, they are not instantaneous. This means that the top of the photo is captured a split second before the end of the photo.

In most cases this won’t make any difference, but there are circumstances in which it will affect the image, and that’s where global shutters have an advantage.
