Sony a9ii full frame mirrorless camera
Introduction
-
upgraded the BIONZ X Image-Processing engine and front-end LSI for improved autofocus speed and precision, face detection and EVF response
better AF performance and tracking
tuned the AF algorithms to achieve even more reliable tracking of fast and unpredictable moving subjects
better AF in strongly backlit situations
C-AF tracking works down to f/16
Real Time Eye AF tracking now in Movie mode (as with the
Sony a7R IV)
improved image quality and colors, improved AWB, cleaner high ISO, improved dynamic range
anti-flicker mode (but only works in mechanical shutter mode)
glowing red AF frame (as in the a7RIV and earlier A99II cameras)
embedded voice memo
improved weathersealing
improved “low vibration” mechanical shutter, faster (10fps instead of 5fps), more quiet, shorter lag time, much better flash performance
ergonomics now matches the
Sony a7R IV, much better, deeper grip, improved joystick
faster WiFi 2.4GHz as with a9 but now adds 5GHz and ac
2 UHS-II card slots instead of only one being UHS-II
fast USB-C charging
USB 3.2 type C instead of USB 2.0
high speed 1000BASE-T
LAN port
file renaming for movies
digital audio via the new MI Shoe Digital Audio Interface as with the
Sony a7R IV
PASM dial lock
menu can now set 12 settings for stills and 12 settings for movies making customisation for each simpler to switch between and can save 10 sets of
FTP settings to a SD card
improved battery efficiency albeit only slightly (500 shots vs 480 shots)
slightly improved IBIS now “5.5EV” instead of “5.0EV”
greater potential for future firmware improvements
Specs
same 24.2-megapixel 35 mm full-frame stacked CMOS sensor from the a9
BIONZ X processor
10fps mechanical shutter, up to 20fps electronic shutter with buffer of 361 JPEG, 239 RAW, 226 RAW+JPEG, 131 RAW (Uncompressed) (buffer is essentially same as the a9)
electronic shutter 1/8th sec to 1/32,000th sec
mechanical shutter 30sec to 1/8,000th sec, flash sync 1/250th sec
693 phase and 425 contrast detection points
5.5EV 5 axis IBIS but no pixel shift HiRes mode
3.6 million dot EVF (same as the a9)
1.4mdot rear LCD (same as the a9)
hotshoe with digital audio (same as the a7RIV)
2 UHS-II card slots
-
128.9mm x 96.4mm x 77.5mm
678g (1lb 8.0 oz)
CIPA battery life 500 shots
$US4499
Firmware updates
v2.00 Apr 2020
Can now close the shutter when turning off the camera to reduce sensor dust
Adds the Hi Frequency flicker function, which allows you to reduce the impact of flickering of artificial light sources (e.g. digital signage, electronic signboards, LED lights, etc.), by more finely adjusting the shutter speed
Improves the Face/Eye Priority in the AF function:
When set to a custom key, the Face/Eye Priority in the AF function can be activated or deactivated each time the custom key is pressed
If Face/Eye Priority is already set to custom key, this improvement will be available after the camera is updated
Improves the Remote Camera Tool function by adding support for displaying Focus Frame for almost all scenes
Allows the camera’s MAC address to be displayed as a QR code
Allows you to save or load the customized camera settings to My MENU
Improves the overall stability of the camera
