Fifty One East, Qatar’s favourite department store, and Sony Middle East and Africa FZE, the leading consumer electronics brand, have announced the pre-order phase of Sony’s electrifying Alpha 9 II (model ILCE-9M2), the latest addition to its acclaimed line-up of ?™ (Alpha™) full-frame interchangeable lens cameras, that has been created specifically to support working professionals in the fields of sports photography and photojournalism in Qatar.
Customers can now pre-order the Alpha 9 II at FNAC in Lagoona Mall and Doha Festival City, Modern Home in Al Maha Center on Salwa Road and Virgin Megastore in Villaggio, Landmark and Doha Festival City and until November 25, 2019. All clients pre-ordering the camera will receive a VG-C4EM Vertical Grip upon delivery in December.
Building up on the impressive legacy of Alpha 9, the new Alpha 9 II maintains ground breaking speed performance including blackout-free continuous shooting[i] at up to 20 frames per second[ii] with Auto Focus and Auto Exposure tracking, and 60 times per second AF/AE calculations[iii], while incorporating even more functionality driven directly from the voice of professionals.
Updates include significantly enhanced connectivity and file delivery, continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with mechanical shutter, evolved AF performance with newly optimised algorithms, a re-designed build to enhance durability and operability, and more.
The Alpha 9 II includes an in-built 1000BASE-T Ethernet terminal, enabling gigabit communication for high-speed and stable data transfer operations.
Additionally, it supports File Transfer over SSL or TLS encryption (FTPS) for increased data security, and improves PC remote (tether) shooting performance, with decreased release time lag and reduced live view screen delay when using the ‘Remote Camera Tool’ desktop application[iv].
The speed of the camera’s built-in wireless LAN functionality has also been increased, adding a stable and fast 5 GHz (IEEE 802.11ac)[v] band, in addition to the 2.4 GHz provided in the Alpha 9. IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards are all supported.
Designed to improve the speed of news agencies’ workflow, the Alpha 9 II features a new Voice Memo function that allows spoken information to be attached to images in the form of voice memos that can be replayed when the images are reviewed.
The new Alpha 9 II shares the same acclaimed 35mm full-frame stacked 24.2 MP[ix] Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor with integral memory as the original Alpha 9, giving it the same unmatched speed performance and outstanding image quality.
The new model can shoot continuously and completely silently[x] at 20 fps for up to 361 JPEG images[xi] or 239 compressed RAW images[xii], with no viewfinder blackout, allowing the photographer to follow the subject and action with no interruption to the EVF during picture taking. For times when mechanical shutter is preferred or required, the new Alpha 9 II has been improved to shoot at up to 10 fps, about 2x the speed of the Alpha 9.
