Flash sync at all shutter speeds

With a compatible flash unit from Sony (such as the HVL-F60RM2 or HVL-F46RM)⁰, the α9 III can perform full flash synchronization right up to the maximum 1/80000¹ second shutter speed. This allows flash to be used for extra subject illumination when shooting outdoors in bright daylight with a high shutter speed, reducing the need for large lighting setups and vastly expanding creative shooting possibilities.

Flicker-free shooting⁰

The global shutter image sensor exposes all pixels simultaneously, so flicker cannot occur within a single image, but may appear between frames. To reduce this type of flicker, Anti-flicker Shooting⁰ or Hi frequency flicker-free shooting (Var. Shutter) functions can be used.

Global shutter eliminates flash banding

The α9 III's advanced image sensor is equipped with a global shutter system that exposes and reads out all pixels at once, eliminating exposure differences that can arise, for example, when shooting alongside press photographers covering an event. This eradicates the issue of "flash banding" that is common in cameras that use a rolling shutter system.
