The Alpha 9 III boasts 8-step image stabilization, supported by its advanced gyro sensors and optimized algorithms. Compatible lenses with in-body image stabilization further bolster blur-free shooting at telephoto ranges. Pre-capture records for up to 1 second before shutter release, giving photographers the chance to capture the perfect moment, even if the shutter is slow to respond.

Continuous Shooting Speed Boost increases speed while capturing high-performance events like sports. The AI processing unit recognizes Humans, Animals, Birds, Insects, Helmets, Cars/Trains and Airplanes. Animal recognition is enhanced, allowing it to detect eyes of grazing and small animals, alongside the eyes, heads, and bodies of dogs, cats, and similar animals. Bird recognition is better too, enabling it to identify eyes of various birds, as well as their bodies. Additionally, a new Animal/Bird setting allows photographing animals and birds without changing the mode.
