  • Features
    42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor

    42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor

    Boasting its approx. 42.4 effective megapixel resolution, α99 II has a 35mm full-frame CMOS image sensor with back-illuminated structure, widely expanded sensitivity range, and extra-low noise performance. It also has no optical low-pass filter that can compromise sharpness, so fine clarity and detail extend from edge to edge of every frame.

    High-speed BIONZ X™ image processing engine and front-end LSI

    High-speed BIONZ X™ image processing engine and front-end LSI

    With detail reproduction technology to capture the essence of realism, diffraction-reducing technology to maintain clarity even at smaller apertures, and area-specific noise reduction to lower noise adaptively and reproduce greater detail, the BIONZ X image processing engine finely tunes the image sensor's effective 42.4-megapixel (approx.) data for truer, clearer depiction. α99 II is supported by a new front-end LSI to boost image data handling.

    Brilliant AF and AE tracking even at 12fps

    Brilliant AF and AE tracking even at 12fps

    Track your subject regardless of how it moves. Revolutionary Hybrid Phase Detection AF System can capture even quick imminent movements — thanks to dense AF point coverage over a wide area and accelerated readout by the new image sensor for high-efficiency processing of vast amounts of phase-detection information. Through this sophisticated AF system — and faster shutter action due to a newly developed charge unit in the shutter mechanism — you can shoot up to 12fps continuously with steadfast AF and AE tracking, allowing you to catch decisive moments in sharp detail at the proper focus and exposure.

    8fps live-view continuous shooting

    8fps live-view continuous shooting

    The camera achieves continuous shooting of up to 8fps for live-view shooting, using an improved display algorithm for OLED Tru-Finder and LCD monitor. Minimised display time lag lets you easily keep tracking a subject in motion.

    Flicker-free shooting

    Flicker-free shooting

    Flicker from fluorescent and other artificial lighting is automatically detected and the shutter is timed to minimise its effect on still images. This suppresses exposure and colour anomalies that can occur at the top and bottom of images shot at high shutter speeds, as well as exposure and colour inconsistency between continuous shots. You can take images under indoor lighting with confidence.

    Hybrid Phase Detection AF System

    Hybrid Phase Detection AF System

    α99 II has an AF sensor with 79-point phase-detection and an image sensor with the world’s largest array of 399 focal-plane phase-detection AF points. Sony’s original Translucent Mirror Technology allows light to reach the dedicated AF sensor and the image sensor simultaneously, so both phase-detection AF systems are always active. The AF algorithm has also been revised to support the Hybrid Phase Detection AF System. Its broad coverage and high density enable higher AF speed and precision as well as notably improved tracking performance.

    79 Hybrid Cross points

    79 Hybrid Cross points

    Discover breakthrough autofocusing and tracking reliability. Sony’s Hybrid Phase Detection AF System provides a dedicated AF sensor with phase-detection AF points (79 including 15 cross points) for horizontal detection. This AF point area is entirely covered by the 399-point focal-plane phase-detection AF sensor for vertical detection, so all 79 AF points can function as selectable Hybrid Cross points. By spreading points densely over an area and fine-tuning the balance between responsiveness and stability, Sony optimises subject tracking to stay locked on almost any type of subject without being affected by subject patterns. Moreover, the very central AF point also functions as an F2.8-sensitive sensor that supports lenses as bright as a minimum F-value of 2.8 or lower.

    Precision AF effective down to EV-4 brightness

    Precision AF effective down to EV-4 brightness

    Low-light AF detection down to EV-4 (central focus point) has been achieved. The precision AF system will function properly even when shooting dimly lit scenes at high ISO. This opens dramatic new possibilities in low-light and night shooting.

    Body-integrated 5-axis image stabilisation

    Body-integrated 5-axis image stabilisation

    This all-direction stabilisation system is fine-tuned for high-resolution image sensors to compensate accurately for five types of camera shake that can compromise handheld shooting of α99 II 42.4MP images. Designed for A-mount models, the body-integrated system offers extremely high performance in both stills and movies, whether you're shooting at longer focal lengths, in close-ups, or at night. Real-time effects can be monitored via live view. Camera shake compensation is equivalent to using a 4.5-step faster shutter speed, allowing you to take advantage of a wider range of shutter speeds. 1: Yaw  2: Roll  3:Pitch

    8% smaller than the α99, with improved ergonomics

    8% smaller than the α99, with improved ergonomics

    α99 II flagship is truly born anew — renewed inside and outside. For instance, it’s 8% smaller than the original α99, with a redesigned, more compact image stabilisation system and other enhancements that reflect an overall revision and rethink of the body’s layout and construction. It also has a refined grip and numerous upgrades for improved hold, optimised operation, and more manageable dimensions. You’ll enjoy new ergonomics in shooting action.

    Support for 14-bit RAW format

    Support for 14-bit RAW format

    For RAW recording, 14-bit RAW output and 16-bit image processing help preserve maximum detail and produce images of the highest quality with rich tonal gradations. The 14-bit RAW (Sony ARW) format ensures optimal quality for later image adjustment (via Image Data Converter or other software). 1: Image Sensor 2: Newly developed high-speed front-end LSI 3: 16-bit image processing

    Focus/release priority setup for AF-C/AF-S

    Focus or release priority can be independently set for the AF-S (Single-shot AF) and AF-C (Continuous AF) modes. Moreover, additional Balance setting provides the best balance between focus and release priority available for the AF-C mode. Optimum focus/release operation can be selected for the scene being shot, so you have the best focus for your shooting needs.

    Expand Flexible Spot

    Expand Flexible Spot

    Using the Expand Flexible Spot function, adjacent focus points will be automatically selected if the subject moves away from the selected focus point, thus keeping the subject in perfect focus. When the focus mode is set to Expand Flexible Spot or Flexible Spot and you want to quickly select a desired focus area, the number of points used in the focus area can be reduced. You can set Autofocus parameters to either spot area, linking location and size to the focus area.

    Eye AF

    Eye AF

    α99 II brings you Eye AF to capture intriguing facial expressions. It automatically focuses on and even tracks focus on a subject’s eye, as the face moves or turns to the side, extending your freedom to frame a great shot.

    Tough magnesium alloy body

    Tough magnesium alloy body

    Designed for solid reliability and steady handling, the camera body is built to withstand the rigors of shooting in the field. Its internal structure and top, front, and rear covers are all made of strong, rigid magnesium alloy.

    Reliable dust and moisture resistant design

    Reliable dust and moisture resistant design

    Enjoy carefree shooting in tough environments, with comprehensive dust and moisture resistance measures that help prevent water and dust from entering the body. These measures include sealing around the buttons and dials, as well as media jack cover and enclosure edges featuring tongue-and-groove joints for double protection to tightly interlock panels and components.

    Anti-dust measure keeps off dust and dirt

    Anti-dust measure keeps off dust and dirt

    A special coating prevents dust and dirt from settling on the image sensor surface where it can become difficult remove through changes in humidity and temperature, while at the same time making settled dust easier to remove.

    Assignable Front Multi Controller

    Assignable Front Multi Controller

    You can see how the camera has evolved by looking at one of its convenient control features. Now, the Silent Multi Controller introduced in the original α99 not only allows any one of assigned settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, AF area, AF mode, and other settings for stills and movies), but also features a click-stop ON/OFF switch. When ON, the preferred setting for stills, the control clicks as it is operated, providing a tactile indication of how far it has been rotated. When OFF, the control turns smoothly and quietly, which is the preferred mode for movie recording.

    Selectable storage for remote shooting

    Selectable storage for remote shooting

    Choose convenient selectable still image data storage destinations for remote shooting. While your camera is still tethered to a computer in remote camera control, you can choose whether still images are stored in the camera as well as on the computer so they can be checked visually without having to leave the camera position. You also have selectable storage format in RAW+J mode. You can transfer only JPEG files to the computer, rather than transferring both JPEG and RAW files to reduce data volume, allowing you to check transferred images almost immediately.

    Location data acquisition via Bluetooth

    Location data acquisition via Bluetooth

    Use Location Information Link to make the most of your camera anywhere you go together. After the camera has been paired to the Imaging Edge Mobile app installed on a compatible mobile phone or tablet device, it can acquire location data from the mobile device and record that data with still images. The acquired location data can also be used to correct the camera’s date/time and location settings.

      42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor

      42.4-megapixel back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor

      Boasting its approx. 42.4 effective megapixel resolution, α99 II has a 35mm full-frame CMOS image sensor with back-illuminated structure, widely expanded sensitivity range, and extra-low noise performance. It also has no optical low-pass filter that can compromise sharpness, so fine clarity and detail extend from edge to edge of every frame.

      High-speed BIONZ X™ image processing engine and front-end LSI

      High-speed BIONZ X™ image processing engine and front-end LSI

      With detail reproduction technology to capture the essence of realism, diffraction-reducing technology to maintain clarity even at smaller apertures, and area-specific noise reduction to lower noise adaptively and reproduce greater detail, the BIONZ X image processing engine finely tunes the image sensor's effective 42.4-megapixel (approx.) data for truer, clearer depiction. α99 II is supported by a new front-end LSI to boost image data handling.

      Brilliant AF and AE tracking even at 12fps

      Brilliant AF and AE tracking even at 12fps

      Track your subject regardless of how it moves. Revolutionary Hybrid Phase Detection AF System can capture even quick imminent movements — thanks to dense AF point coverage over a wide area and accelerated readout by the new image sensor for high-efficiency processing of vast amounts of phase-detection information. Through this sophisticated AF system — and faster shutter action due to a newly developed charge unit in the shutter mechanism — you can shoot up to 12fps continuously with steadfast AF and AE tracking, allowing you to catch decisive moments in sharp detail at the proper focus and exposure.

      8fps live-view continuous shooting

      8fps live-view continuous shooting

      The camera achieves continuous shooting of up to 8fps for live-view shooting, using an improved display algorithm for OLED Tru-Finder and LCD monitor. Minimised display time lag lets you easily keep tracking a subject in motion.

      Flicker-free shooting

      Flicker-free shooting

      Flicker from fluorescent and other artificial lighting is automatically detected and the shutter is timed to minimise its effect on still images. This suppresses exposure and colour anomalies that can occur at the top and bottom of images shot at high shutter speeds, as well as exposure and colour inconsistency between continuous shots. You can take images under indoor lighting with confidence.

      Hybrid Phase Detection AF System

      Hybrid Phase Detection AF System

      α99 II has an AF sensor with 79-point phase-detection and an image sensor with the world’s largest array of 399 focal-plane phase-detection AF points. Sony’s original Translucent Mirror Technology allows light to reach the dedicated AF sensor and the image sensor simultaneously, so both phase-detection AF systems are always active. The AF algorithm has also been revised to support the Hybrid Phase Detection AF System. Its broad coverage and high density enable higher AF speed and precision as well as notably improved tracking performance.

      79 Hybrid Cross points

      79 Hybrid Cross points

      Discover breakthrough autofocusing and tracking reliability. Sony’s Hybrid Phase Detection AF System provides a dedicated AF sensor with phase-detection AF points (79 including 15 cross points) for horizontal detection. This AF point area is entirely covered by the 399-point focal-plane phase-detection AF sensor for vertical detection, so all 79 AF points can function as selectable Hybrid Cross points. By spreading points densely over an area and fine-tuning the balance between responsiveness and stability, Sony optimises subject tracking to stay locked on almost any type of subject without being affected by subject patterns. Moreover, the very central AF point also functions as an F2.8-sensitive sensor that supports lenses as bright as a minimum F-value of 2.8 or lower.

      Precision AF effective down to EV-4 brightness

      Precision AF effective down to EV-4 brightness

      Low-light AF detection down to EV-4 (central focus point) has been achieved. The precision AF system will function properly even when shooting dimly lit scenes at high ISO. This opens dramatic new possibilities in low-light and night shooting.

      Body-integrated 5-axis image stabilisation

      Body-integrated 5-axis image stabilisation

      This all-direction stabilisation system is fine-tuned for high-resolution image sensors to compensate accurately for five types of camera shake that can compromise handheld shooting of α99 II 42.4MP images. Designed for A-mount models, the body-integrated system offers extremely high performance in both stills and movies, whether you're shooting at longer focal lengths, in close-ups, or at night. Real-time effects can be monitored via live view. Camera shake compensation is equivalent to using a 4.5-step faster shutter speed, allowing you to take advantage of a wider range of shutter speeds. 1: Yaw  2: Roll  3:Pitch

      8% smaller than the α99, with improved ergonomics

      8% smaller than the α99, with improved ergonomics

      α99 II flagship is truly born anew — renewed inside and outside. For instance, it’s 8% smaller than the original α99, with a redesigned, more compact image stabilisation system and other enhancements that reflect an overall revision and rethink of the body’s layout and construction. It also has a refined grip and numerous upgrades for improved hold, optimised operation, and more manageable dimensions. You’ll enjoy new ergonomics in shooting action.

      Support for 14-bit RAW format

      Support for 14-bit RAW format

      For RAW recording, 14-bit RAW output and 16-bit image processing help preserve maximum detail and produce images of the highest quality with rich tonal gradations. The 14-bit RAW (Sony ARW) format ensures optimal quality for later image adjustment (via Image Data Converter or other software). 1: Image Sensor 2: Newly developed high-speed front-end LSI 3: 16-bit image processing

      Focus/release priority setup for AF-C/AF-S

      Focus or release priority can be independently set for the AF-S (Single-shot AF) and AF-C (Continuous AF) modes. Moreover, additional Balance setting provides the best balance between focus and release priority available for the AF-C mode. Optimum focus/release operation can be selected for the scene being shot, so you have the best focus for your shooting needs.

      Expand Flexible Spot

      Expand Flexible Spot

      Using the Expand Flexible Spot function, adjacent focus points will be automatically selected if the subject moves away from the selected focus point, thus keeping the subject in perfect focus. When the focus mode is set to Expand Flexible Spot or Flexible Spot and you want to quickly select a desired focus area, the number of points used in the focus area can be reduced. You can set Autofocus parameters to either spot area, linking location and size to the focus area.

      Eye AF

      Eye AF

      α99 II brings you Eye AF to capture intriguing facial expressions. It automatically focuses on and even tracks focus on a subject’s eye, as the face moves or turns to the side, extending your freedom to frame a great shot.

      Tough magnesium alloy body

      Tough magnesium alloy body

      Designed for solid reliability and steady handling, the camera body is built to withstand the rigors of shooting in the field. Its internal structure and top, front, and rear covers are all made of strong, rigid magnesium alloy.

      Reliable dust and moisture resistant design

      Reliable dust and moisture resistant design

      Enjoy carefree shooting in tough environments, with comprehensive dust and moisture resistance measures that help prevent water and dust from entering the body. These measures include sealing around the buttons and dials, as well as media jack cover and enclosure edges featuring tongue-and-groove joints for double protection to tightly interlock panels and components.

      Anti-dust measure keeps off dust and dirt

      Anti-dust measure keeps off dust and dirt

      A special coating prevents dust and dirt from settling on the image sensor surface where it can become difficult remove through changes in humidity and temperature, while at the same time making settled dust easier to remove.

      Assignable Front Multi Controller

      Assignable Front Multi Controller

      You can see how the camera has evolved by looking at one of its convenient control features. Now, the Silent Multi Controller introduced in the original α99 not only allows any one of assigned settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, AF area, AF mode, and other settings for stills and movies), but also features a click-stop ON/OFF switch. When ON, the preferred setting for stills, the control clicks as it is operated, providing a tactile indication of how far it has been rotated. When OFF, the control turns smoothly and quietly, which is the preferred mode for movie recording.

      Selectable storage for remote shooting

      Selectable storage for remote shooting

      Choose convenient selectable still image data storage destinations for remote shooting. While your camera is still tethered to a computer in remote camera control, you can choose whether still images are stored in the camera as well as on the computer so they can be checked visually without having to leave the camera position. You also have selectable storage format in RAW+J mode. You can transfer only JPEG files to the computer, rather than transferring both JPEG and RAW files to reduce data volume, allowing you to check transferred images almost immediately.

      Location data acquisition via Bluetooth

      Location data acquisition via Bluetooth

      Use Location Information Link to make the most of your camera anywhere you go together. After the camera has been paired to the Imaging Edge Mobile app installed on a compatible mobile phone or tablet device, it can acquire location data from the mobile device and record that data with still images. The acquired location data can also be used to correct the camera’s date/time and location settings.
