Sony Introduces New Full-Frame α99 Camera with Translucent Mirror
Technology and Dual AF System
Flagship α A-mount camera delivers new levels of image quality, focus
capabilities and video performance
SAN DIEGO, Sept 12, 2012 – Sony’s long awaited α99 digital camera sets a
new performance standard for professional-class DSLRs, combining all of the
benefits of full-frame imaging with the responsiveness and speed of
Translucent Mirror Technology.
The successor to Sony’s flagship α900 DSLR, the α99 camera features a
brand new 24.3 MP full-frame image sensor, a unique dual phase-detect AF
system and a host of other innovative technologies that work together to
deliver the best image and full HD video quality in the history of Sony’s
acclaimed line of α cameras.
“The new α99 camera is the ultimate combination of Sony’s expertise and
rich history of image sensor production coupled with our truly innovative
approach to camera design” said Mike Kahn, director of the alpha
interchangeable lens camera division at Sony. “It redefines what can be
accomplished with a full frame DSLR camera.”
New Levels of Imaging Performance and Response
The flagship α99 model combines its new 24.3 effective megapixel Exmor®
CMOS sensor with a highly advanced BIONZ image processing engine,
delivering unprecedented levels of performance in both still and video
shooting.
The full frame sensor is enhanced by a newly-developed separate multi-
segment optional low-pass filter, increasing its resolving power. Assisted
by an all-new front-end LSI, the BIONZ engine can process massive amounts of
image signal data from the sensor at very high speeds. Together with a
powerful new area-specific noise reduction (NR) algorithm, it allows to the
camera to achieve 14-bit RAW output, rich gradation and low noise.
The evolved BIONZ processor also gives the α99 model a maximum sensitivity
range (in expanded sensitivity mode) as wide as ISO50 – 25600 – a range of
nine stops. Its unprecedented processing power enables the camera to shoot
a burst of images at up to six frames per second at full resolution or up
to 10 fps in Tele-zoom high speed shooting mode.
The new α99 digital camera features a unique dual AF system, a world’s
first for digital cameras. This camera’s main focusing system – a 19-
point AF system with 11 cross sensors - is complemented by a 102-point focal
plane phase-detection AF sensor overlaying the main image sensor.
Harnessing the power of Translucent Mirror Technology, light is passed to
both phase-detection AF sensors simultaneously and continually, measuring
subject distance and position more completely than other cameras. This
unique Dual AF System permits ultra-fast, accurate autofocusing that
maintains tracking focus even if a subject temporarily leaves the frame.
The AF-D (depth) continuous autofocus mode* utilizes the Dual AF system for
wider and more dense coverage of the frame, significantly improving AF
performance with fast or erratically moving subjects against complex
backgrounds. Additionally, during movie shooting, AF Duration control
provides reliable depth focusing information and ensures that the camera
maintains proper focus on its subject when objects or people cross the focal
plane.
A new AF range control allows photographers to manually select foreground
and background distance to which the AF system will not respond, especially
useful for shooting fast moving sports or animals through a nearby wire mesh
or in front of a complex background that commonly distracts camera AF
systems.
Crafted for Videographers and Movie-makers
The new α99 camera’s video capabilities build on Sony’s expertise in
developing professional motion picture cameras, combining the unmatched
resolving power and sensitivity of the full-frame sensor with several
advanced features optimized for professional video production.
The flagship α99 model is the first full-frame DSLR to offer Full HD 60p/
24p progressive video recording to meet AVCHD™ Version 2.0
specifications and Full-time Continuous AF Movie mode, allowing smooth, non-
stop tracking of moving subjects. Other enhancements include real-time Full
HD video output via HDMI®, and uninterrupted ‘dual-card’ recording
using both of the camera’s media slots.
For added convenience while shooting video, a new silent, programmable multi
-control dial on the front of the camera body allows silent adjustment of
common settings during shooting including exposure compensation, ISO
sensitivity, shutter speed, aperture and much more.
The camera’s audio features are designed to meet the demanding needs of
serious videographers. An audio level display and adjustable audio record
levels are joined by a headphone jack for accurate in-the-field monitoring.
Additionally, the multi-interface shoe provides balance audio input for
the optional XLR-K1M adaptor kit, which adds a high-quality mono shotgun
microphone and pro-standard XLR connections for dependable audio acquisition.
Uncompromised Handing for Advanced Photographers
The camera’s XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ viewfinder offers 100% frame
coverage on the viewfinder screen with exceptional brightness, contrast,
clarity and resolution, ensuring a detail-packed view of the desired scene
and subject. The unique electronic viewfinder will also maintain a 100%
field of view with DT lenses that are optimized for APS-C sensor cameras,
converting the angle of view automatically for image recording and display.
Complementing the Tru-Finder EVF is a three-way tiltable 1229k-dot (VGA
equivalent) XtraFine LCD™ display with WhiteMagic™ technology to
boost overall screen brightness. It’s especially useful for framing and
shooting with the LCD in outdoor, sunny conditions.
Despite its impressive pro-class credentials, the α99 camera is the world’
s lightest 35 mm full-frame interchangeable-lens digital camera. Constructed
of high-rigidity magnesium alloy panels, it weighs in at just 733g (without
lens and battery). Translucent Mirror Technology, which eliminates the
need for a full-frame moving mirror mechanism and heavy glass pentaprism,
also contributes to the extremely light design.
Additionally, the camera is weather-sealed and all buttons and controls have
been ruggedized. A redesigned shutter block, tested to approximately 200,
000 releases, further ensures the camera’s stamina and reliability.
The camera’s enhanced ergonomics include a re-designed grip and
differentiated designs of several switches and buttons that allow for
intuitive fingertip operation. A new exposure mode dial lock prevents
accidental rotation, and a newly-developed Quick Navi Pro interface gives
quick, intuitive one-handed access to common shooting parameters and
controls.
