For example, this system realizes a totally blackout-free viewfinder while conventional systems can only try to reduce blackout time. A high-speed, vibration-free, silent Anti-Distortion shutter vastly extends the range of shooting situations while a mechanical system can only aim for lower vibration and quieter shutter release sound. α9 provides continuous tracking of moving subjects for foolproof AF\/AE while traditional SLRs can only challenge such AF\/AE performance improvements. Moreover, α9 allows its viewfinder to show not only images of the subject — available on conventional systems — but also the final image of a shot. Now, thanks to a new image sensor that superbly manages all these roles, you can surpass all expectation with α9.\nNote: This camera is equipped with electronic and mechanical shutters. The features described in this section are primarily related to electronic shutter operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDriving force for full-electronic revolution\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eα9 liberates you from the limits of conventional SLRs that rely on mechanical systems. First to use high-speed stacked design, its 24.2-megapixel full-frame image sensor temporarily stores large-volume data in the integral memory for overall 20 times faster readout speed. The combination of CMOS sensor and enhanced BIONZ X image-processing engine brings you true digital freedom.\n[ Stacked back-illuminated structure with integral memory ]\n(1) Pixel area (2) Integral memory (3) Hi-speed signal processing circuit (4) Image processing engine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCapture the previously uncatchable\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eigh-speed continuous shooting at up to 20fps\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGroundbreaking full-frame Exmor RS CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processor team up for 20fps continuous shooting with AF\/AE tracking.
