Incredible AutoFocus

Includes Sony Real-Time Tracking technology, winner of Best Photo Innovation in the TIPA Awards 2020.
Once locked on with a half-shutter press, Sony's Real-Time Tracking AF Technology tracks the subject wherever it moves within the frame.
With Real-time EyeAF (for humans and animals) the camera will automatically pick up and lock onto the eye of the subject, when visible in the shot. It's speed and accuracy helped it to be awarded with the Best Photo Innovation certification at the 2020 TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) World Awards 2020.

Built for speed, reliability and productivity

The Alpha 9 II offers advances that answer the demands of professional workflows, including sophisticated operability and network connectivity for enhanced support in the field, rugged go-anywhere reliability and unrivalled speed.

10fps with mechanical shutter

The mechanical shutter now allows continuous shooting at up to 10fps, and can also be used with a flash. You can deploy high-speed continuous shooting for scenes as appropriate.

Full-frame stacked integral-memory CMOS sensor

The 24.2-megapixel full-frame high-speed stacked image sensor stores data in integral memory for lightning-fast readout. The CMOS sensor and enhanced BIONZ X image-processing engine together bring you true digital freedom.

Speed meets AI

Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF are both designed for fast, precise and intelligent tracking of your subject, using AI-based algorithms and processing an enormous amount of data in real time. After the subject is specified, precise focus is maintained while the shutter button is half-pressed. Position changes are accurately tracked, providing framing flexibility as you concentrate on getting the best shot. The AI recognition algorithm efficiently processes colour, pattern, distance, face and eye data from the image sensor for high accuracy.

4K Movie Recording

Beautiful 4K movie recording is realised. Full-pixel readout with no pixel binning makes it possible to condense approximately 2.4 times the amount of data required for 4K (the equivalent of the amount of data required for 6K) into 3840x2160 4K output. Versatile with Fast Hybrid AF performance, Eye AF functions, Touch Tracking, etc. Real-time Eye AF newly supports movie shooting by detecting the subject’s eyes and continuing to track one eye. As the A9 II keeps that eye in precise focus, you can concentrate on composition. Additionally, when shooting movies on the Alpha 9 II, a subject touched on the LCD monitor is automatically focused and followed with Touch Tracking. If a human eye is spotted, Real-time Eye AF activates and tracks it too.
