A New Pinnacle of A-mount Performance

The Sony99 II takes A-mount camera performance to the next level with enhanced AF precision and continuous shooting speed complementing a high-resolution 42.4 effective megapixel back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor. The99 II can shoot continuously at up to 12 frames per second*1 with reliable autofocus and auto exposure tracking*2, while 5-axis in-body image stabilization contributes to consistently outstanding image quality for stills and 4K movies.

*1 Continuous shooting mode set to "Hi+"

*2 The supported focus area will depend on the shooting mode and lens used. Furthermore, when “Continuous Shooting: Hi+” is selected, focus will be fixed at the first frame shot when Hybrid Phase Detection AF is active at aperture settings of F9 or higher, or when Hybrid Phase Detection AF is not active at aperture settings of F4 or higher.

42.4 megapixel back-illuminated full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor

BIONZ X™ image processing engine and front-end LSI

New Hybrid Phase Detection AF system: 79*1 + 399*2 points, 79*1 Hybirid Cross AF points*3

High-speed continuous shooting at up to 12 fps*4 with AF/AE tracking*5, or up to 8 fps*6 in live-view mode with minimal lag

5-axis in-body optical image stabilization for stills and movies

High-resolution 4K movie recording*7

High-resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ with ZEISS® T* Coating

Wi-Fi/NFCTM/QR code function for easy image file transfer and remote control

*1 The number of usable AF points may depend on the lens and shooting mode.

*2 The number of usable AF points may depend on the lens and shooting mode. Up to 323 focus points are selectable. Not available for movie recording.

*3 Hybrid Phase Detection AF active. The dedicated phase detection AF sensor or focal-plane phase detection AF sensor may be used independently in certain photographic situations. *4 Continuous shooting mode set to "Hi+"

*5 The supported focus area will depend on the shooting mode and lens used. Furthermore, when “Continuous Shooting: Hi+” is selected, focus will be fixed at the first frame shot when Hybrid Phase Detection AF is active at aperture settings of F9 or higher, or when Hybrid Phase Detection AF is not active at aperture settings of F4 or higher.

*6 Continuous shooting mode set to "Hi"

*7 Class 10 or higher SDHC/SDXC memory card required for XAVC S format movie recording. UHS-I (U3) SDHC/SDXC card required for 100Mbps recording.

Focus Defines the Image 79

Hybrid Cross AF points

Sony’s Hybrid Phase Detection AF achieves fast, precise focus

Focus plays an important role in defining the composition of a photographic image, while autofocus speed and accuracy are critical to capturing the perfect moment. The99 II features Sony’s innovative Hybrid Phase Detection AF system that brings two advanced sensors together for unprecedent-

ed autofocus speed, precision, and tracking performance. A 79-point*1 phase detection AF sensor works with a large 399-point*2 focal-plane phase detection AF array, while Translucent Mirror Technology allows light to reach both simultaneously so that they are always active.

*1 The number of usable AF points may depend on the lens and shooting mode.

*2 The number of usable AF points may depend on the lens and shooting mode. Up to 323 focus points are selectable. Not available for movie recording.

Dual phase detection AF sensors yield 79*1 Hybrid Cross AF points*2

Cross points are the key to reliable autofocus with the widest variety of subjects and scenes. Modern high-performance autofocus systems usually include a few cross points, but the99 II reaches a whole new level of autofocus reliability with 79 cross points*1 created by combining points from

the two AF sensors used in the Hybrid Phase Detection AF system. The 79 superimposed points function as selectable Hybrid Cross AF points*1*2 that are sensitive to vertical and horizontal details, contributing to reliably accurate focus with subjects that would confuse other autofocus systems.

*1 The number of usable AF points may depend on the lens and shooting mode.

*2 Hybrid Phase Detection AF active. The dedicated phase detection AF sensor or focal-plane phase detection AF sensor may be used independently in certain photographic situations.
