The Sony a9 III is the first still camera with a global shutter. In this Sony a9 III review, Lee Morris from Fstoppers discusses how this camera will change the industry forever.
Your initial premise is incorrect The very first digital cameras did not have this problem because the first digital cameras used a CCD which captures the entire image plane all at once not line by line It was the shift in digital photography to significantly cheaper and easier to make CMOS sensors that created this problem A CMOS sensor reads line by line We have been stuck with this problem for many years because of how much more expensive CCD sensors are instead of working on making CCD sensors cheaper they have simply worked on improving CMOS sensors for most people the capabilities of a CMOS sensor were good enough it was as weirdos doing really interesting high-speed stuff that encountered this problem shooting a model rocket launch at 60 frames per second for example and getting a skewed image because of this line-by-line read nature of a CMOS sensor It's important to realize however this is not the nature of digital photography this is the nature of CMOS sensor digital photography CCD sensor technology does not have this problem
Thanks for pointing out this issue, something this guy with the paid Sony Advertisement obviously dont wanna hear
I think it was a lot easier to reduce pre-gain read noise with CMOS. IIRC, "Correlated Double Sampling" is what made for huge post-gain read noise reductions about 24 years ago, which was not possible at the time with CCD. Most of the CCD sensors back when they were still common had so much pre-gain read noise compared to post-gain, that they really gained nothing by using analog gains for higher ISOs. My Canon G9, which is CCD, has no more noise If I expose for ISO 6400 from the ISO 80 setting, vs the ISO 1600 setting. The analog gain at 1600 is just a waste of electricity, and was probably only performed to normalize raw pixel values, but that makes high ISO files much larger than they need to be, with much less headroom than they could theoretically have. The CCD sensors did not take a quantum efficiency hit like the CMOS A9-III does, so there must be some reason that Sony didn't re-introduce CCD. Perhaps the read noise would be much worse at high ISOs.
@@johnsheehy4192 maybe but remember advancements didn't really continue on CCD because the market switch to CMOS Do note the first pro SLRs to come out all used CCD sensors and there's a reason for that They were superior. You can't really compare that to CMOS because CMOs has had the last 25 years to advance and now they have advanced to the point that they can compete with CCD There's a reason every NASA space probe uses a CCD sensor not a CMOS sensor :-) it's just superior technology but what's 25 years of consumer advancement CMOS sensors are now reaching the point where they can go head to head against CCD sensors and even beat them and CMOS sensors have also allowed the consumer digital camera market to exist at the level it does by making ridiculously impressive and powerful cameras actually affordable. I mean look at the price of some of those first SLR cameras and now look at what you can buy for a fraction of that price today? It's truly amazing a marvel of technology.
the reason the first sensors were all CCD was because Nikon and Canon et al were all buying their sensors from Kodak in the early days. Kodak inverted the digital stills camera and their prototype recorded to audio cassette tapes!
@@alastairleith8612 The reason the first senses were CCD is because that's what existed at the time CMOS had to be invented once it was the industry quickly switched over because of the dramatic cost difference. The first SLR was made by Kodak and was a Nikon body and a Kodak digital back melded together I think I still have one or do I haven't gotten it working yet I have a pretty big collection of the early digital SLRs
You know how you make a good video, when people watch it who aren’t even interested in photography and thoroughly enjoy it… Great show… Keep on rocking
I totally agree. This was one of those really good videos.
more like an incredibly magnetic clickbait title
I'm here and I know zero about modern digital photography other than pressing the button on my phone.Lol.
This is the properly the best explanation of shutters I’ve ever seen! Well done!🔥
see my comment about the animation do the shutter mechanism. that’s not a good explainer of the shutter mechanism on modern cameras. it would expose the bottom of the frame to several stops more light the the top row of pixels in the frame (which is the bottom of the image since it “flips” in the lens). but i agrée the rest of the explanation is pretty decent. not a hard concept to explain though imho.
Too bad his rolling shutter explanation is 100% INCORRECT.
Loved this review. Straight to the point and packed with lots of useful info. I've been watching camera reviews on KZhead since forever, and this was the first one to give an easy to understand explanation of rolling shutter. Also, I appreciate the lack the down-to-earth "wait, don't buy now" advice.
2 more generations and this will be standard in all cameras
True that! For Sony, I think it is the standard now on all of their future cameras. How do you top the a7iv? The a7rV? The A1? and the FX3? Go Global Shutter and give people many reasons to upgrade if they want a GS sensor. Once Canon and Nikon complete their own Global Shutters, they too will follow Sony's roadmap and put them in all of their cameras.
It was the standard back in the early days of dslrs, the CCD days. CCD is a global shutter. But the issue was the noise especially for long exposures, because it had to record the info at each pixel so we went to cmos.
@@jamesf2697 in a few generations, with improved current tech , and probably neuronal engines to reduce noise , this will be the standard no doubt .
it won't. expensive stuff will remain expensive stuff
@@endless_universe2023 yeah, like flying, or mobile phones, or cars. Oh wait.... 😅
No bias just pure facts, great video
@7:23 This frame rate is extremely useful for allowing this camera to be used for computational photography. Imagine the processing tricks that smartphones use to capture multiple photos each time you press the shutter, combining them for expanded dynamic range and significantly less noise. That trick works so well on smartphones because of their fast capture speed, but this camera allows us to benefit from those software tricks whilst having better hardware as well (bigger sensor, better lenses) Sony built a new mode into their desktop software for doing photo stacks with this camera, but seemingly no reviewer has even looked at it. There are also free third party tools that use the same algorithms as Google's Pixel camera software.
what is the tool called?
Capturing multiple images simultaneously is only half of the battle for computational photography. Having the on board neural engines needed to process the images in a fraction of a second is the other half of computational photography. iPhones need to do it all in real time. A professional photographer could use Sony’s tool offline to futz around with the image later. So until Sony comes up with a processor that can perform 35 trillion operations per second in their cameras, real time computational photography will have to be performed offline.
@@roch145 It's technically not real time anymore if it has to be performed offline on a separate machine. Either way, I don't see the problem with going down the route of using an offline processing pipeline for this type of camera. If you're buying a product like this, you're likely going to be shooting RAW and editing your photos on an external computer anyway, so adding the computation photography tools to your existing processing pipeline shouldn't be a big deal.
@@lachlanlauIt's called Burst Photo and can be found on the Mac App Store
@@lachlanlau For some reason my replies to you keep getting removed, but the tool is called Burst Photo on Mac
That was a super-informative recap of the rolling shutter effect caused by recording of one line at a time, I was not previously clear as to what caused the effect. Your in-depth discussion of the benefits and detriments of this new digital camera technology was also excellent. I had not previously seen any of your videos, but I will definitely check out more of them. Thank you.
That wasn't exactly right. One line at a time is not how it actually works. It is multiple lines at a time; the slower the shutter speed, and/or the faster the roll in pixels per second, the more lines are exposed at any given time. Say there are 4000 lines; a very fast shutter speed might expose 3 lines at a time. First, just line 1, then 1+2, then 1+2+3, then 2+3+4, then 3+4+5, etcetera, until the end - 3997+3998+3999, then 3998+3999+4000, then 3999+4000, then 4000.
@@johnsheehy4192 John, thank you for the clarification as the detailed mechanics.
at 6:25: there are at least 2 cameras on the market allowing to do this without an ND filter: the Fuji X100 series and the Hasselblad X series. The trick? A leaf shutter. The best of both worlds as far as flash sync is concerned. You get the full dynamic range, full ISO performance of « older/cheaper » sensors AND a flash sync up to (depending on lens) 1/2000 or 1/4000. Apart from that, great video, thanks for sharing! :)
the shutter shown in the animation is not how modern cameras operate technically. the shutter doesn’t rotate about the horizontal axis. they all use shutter elements (leaves or otherwise) that rotate about the Z-axis and they don’t reverse direction to close the shutter because that would result in uneven exposures. it’s funny all the comments with 70+ likes saying this is the best explanation on the internet 🔥given that the animation is very misleading! but youtube votes are gold and youtube Ad revenue is king. LOL 😂
Great video, thanks. The high frame rate is a game changer for engineers btw, we use high speed cameras to watch fast moving mechanisms. Keep up the good work, Oliver
Where the lines between stills and motion blur like the ink of a worn paperback, I mention STMicroelectronics Big Sky 316 to get a perspective on the scale of sensor development, along with the Achtel 9x7 cine camera, exceeding 70mm IMAX, both are custom designed. At around the 65Mp range, these global shutter sensors have capture rates up to 60GB/s. As you profoundly mentioned, the manufacturing technology will filter down to the cameras we use every day.
Best video on the subject. Kudos.
This is one of the best technical descriptions I've ever seen from any photography publication!
except the animation of the shutter is all wrong. pls see my previous comment.
keep these coming! and make em longer please
Good coverage. Great explanation of flash and exposure considerations. Agreed that user interfaces are important. My Canon R3 has the swipe screen interface you said was lacking on Sony. Don't know about the R5. Since we program these things so much, those extra unassigned buttons are a good idea.
@1:30 If that was true we wouldn’t have issues with rolling shutter, as read time for each row of pixels could be offset to compensate for being out of sync with the action. Rolling shutter occurs because each line of pixels aren’t exposed/read at the exact same point in time, vertical lines are slanted in panning shots since the pan is further along in time as the last row of pixels are exposed, thereby shifting the vertical line gradually left or right depending on the direction of the pan, in turn causing the vertical line (such as the fence in example above) to appear slanted.
Great idea for portrait photography where you want very high sync speed and also sports photography where you have fast moving bats and clubs etc...
Great facts and explanations about the a9iii and global shutter. The a9iii have definitely changed photography again with its Global Shutter. I went back to watching the old 2017 a9 review videos again and its amazing that the a9 revolutionized mirrorless cameras too. Now the a9iii is doing it again. Being able to sync any shutter speed with a flash is huge. At the highest i need is 1/4,000 for flash. 120 fps, yes not every needs this burst, but if it can be done, then might as well have it in the camera as well. It shows that camera tech is evolving at a great rate. If A9iii is not for you or in your budget, then wait for Sony's future cameras. Global Shutter is their roadmap now and for sure it will be coming to the other cameras too. But do expect a price increase of at least $500 usd more.
Hats off to photographers who can tell the difference with such high-end cameras. I can't. But I have an eye for photography I've been told. My best work was done with a disposable analog film camera. When you cannot just delete and repeat a shot, you really need to have good timing and choose your shots carefully.
Rolling shutter has been an issue for my work, in some circumstances. I have learnt the limitations of my R5 with its 15ms readout and causing noticeable rolling shutter sometimes. Small fast moving birds with bent wings, airshows - bent propellers, panning a race car causing a leaned over background, and more. Rolling shutter is real.
I had a Minolta film camera in the 1990's that could flash sync at all speeds up to 1/8000 sec, the 700si, as I recall the flash guns were the 3500XI and 5400HS. It was very very useful for bright Sunlit wedding shots to fill in the harsh shadows, fine tuned it was a great look.
I had a global sensor 30 years ago in a Hasselblad 500cm. 😊
No, you had a leaf shutter!
@@richardbierman9856 If you had film in a camera you had a global shutter.
@@canturgan utter balderdash!Not the definition of global suitter at all!
@@canturgan Film is not a shutter. if you had film in a camera you had either a rolling shutter or global shutter in front of that the film. Film might be equatable to a sensor but not a shutter. It's also extremely confusing when people use the term global shutter for a sensor. A sensor is not a shutter.
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 I think you were deliberately misunderstanding me. The point being that when film is exposed it is the whole frame at once.
bless from Aruba Bro! its going to be funn with the sony and now vision pros comping up, sony since a 828 hx1 then A55 revoolutions
Bought one the moment it arrived at my country. 120fps is really usefull specially with the pre capture to capture sports/animals/insects in the moment of action
Yea I have been waiting for you to review this
Good, honest, unbiased review. Great job!
This truly is a game-changer, and this (the complexity of flash sync) is why I stopped using flash, and use the Panasonic 6K/4K PHOTO modes for portraits, sports, etc. but they were discontinued (GH5 being the last camera with it, maybe some of the early full frame Pannys too) probably because the result was JPEG (not RAW) and not everyone enjoys using SOOC settings to perfect their images😆
My mom just gave me her A7 III with a few lenses I could've only dreamed of and I'm struggling hard from the switch. This at present literally looks like my worst nightmare. Also surreal watching Open AI Sora coverage today, this future isn't what I'd anticipated. 😂
Take the time to learn the cameras menu and preset the buttons for your likely needs, take it out and use it, preview test what would you want to change settings wise , then set the appropriate buttons for your handhold that allow such, turn almost everything to off or default and use the SS, aperture, iso as needed although I try to shoot low iso even with A7IV and 2.8 gmii, carry some small led constant lights even a cube light can help with exposure indoors especially
Wow, very nice explanation of shutter and sensors. I won't be buying one since I am using panasonic GH5 but this is pretty amazing. One of the main reasons I got the GH5 was the fully articulated screens and the app. I sold my Canon's and went MFT and love the weight difference. Great video!
FANTASTIC REVIEW! Subscribed and B&H rocks too for loaning it to you for review! 🤙🌈
How does it compare to a Nikon Z8? The Nikon doesn't have a global shutter but the readout speed is fast, it shoots 20fps full raw with AF, no mechanical shutter, no moving parts, silent.
I know almost nothing about cameras but this was as entertaining as it is informative. Really good job with this. I'll go find my instant camera now. lol
At the end of the day a photographer paints with light. Adding light discretely as fill, overpowering for POV, subtleness for redirection and humbleness for emotion. The global shutter will remove the current constraints. I do currently shoot with a Fujifilm X100F as it gives me much more ability to control the field strobes I use for fashion spreads. This is Nirvana in that respect. Looking to what I can sell to get the 6K for this. Game changer indeed.
Jesus, you need to take a breather.
There certainly ate some cases where one needs a frame rate much faster than the 20 fps that previous A9’s shot, such as wanting to catch a baseball bat or golf club the moment it strikes the ball or catch a balloon the moment it bursts or a drop the moment it hits water. They are niche cases to be sure, but they are out there.
1:10 The video talks about combating rolling shutter distortion and then shows a mechanical rolling shutter in front of the rolling shutter sensor. This is how most SLR's are made with their 2 curtain rolling shutters but they don't combat rolling shutter distortion. To do that you would need a global, mechanical shutter (leaf shutter) not a curtain shutter.
Great video, great review!
I was working for Sony when the original A7 came out and I remember thinking this one product could save the company along with cutting the fat and this along with the censor business has really helped solidify Sonys place in pro photography.
I remember getting the og a7, every one made fun of it because it wasn't quite as good as the Canon 5d, even though the 5d was 3x the cost and only remotely better. Now who rules supreme
Nice explanation. But 24mp is plenty. I have an R7 which is 30 and I still use my old 6D with much fewer pixels (20 I think) when doing macro or portrait work. I like the speed of my workflow and IQ suffers anyway when you pixel peep too much. And 120 fps raw is great for wildlife. Birds move insanely fast and capturing that perfect shot is hard even with 30 fps with my R7 set to pre-burst mode. Sometimes I wish I could show it as a slow motion movie but to do that I need to switch to lower bit rate and resolution which, if you aren't nailing the exposure and getting great colours, you can't post process too much.
Tbf there's HSS to use flash at higher shutter speed for conventional cameras. But hss it's mainly present in higher-end flash units and it's hard on the batteries.
I'm not a pro photographer, but I like sport's photography. For fast-paced sports like volleyball, 5 fps can be slow... I really enjoy the 11 fps my camera can shoot at, it increases my chance of taking that perfect photograph when the player's pose is just right! A potential use I see for global shutter and this high fps is maybe photography of helicopters in flight, propellers, etc.
Excellent presentation.
I have only 1 question: Where can I find that exact blue Apple Watch band, maybe provide a link or brand name. Great video too
This is just the beginning. Too many people probably don't realize the camera is a computer. It's not a mechanical device that uses the shutter to expose film to light. So, enjoy the ride and we will see many more great things from our photo computers.
Very well said… I see this camera as the first step in a major overhaul of digital imaging. I have already nixed this camera, but am confident in Sony.
Nah.
Thank you for this review (from a true Sony addicted). But do you have any idea how it performs when using focus bracketing for macrophotography ? Does it work with flash and what is the fps ? My A7r5 performed a little slow what even made me buy an Olympus OM1 for my macrophotography. My OM1 delivers about 10 fps with flash and 20 fps without in focus bracketing mode. Curious what the new A9 does.
given the wider depth of field of the OM1, I would stick with that
greit vidèo , so informatif and so well explain . thank you .
🔥 flippy screens sell me, that's awesome Great review - thanks!
6:11 This picture is wild! Its so uniquely lit that it seems almost unreal or fake. Would never have been able to figure it out had it not been for your explanation. What an interesting feature (if I may call it that) to find!
I can wait and it might show up as the Sony e10 mk3...I still shoot with everything else because I do not fall for the YT SCAMS that when a new idea come it 'kills' the others.I still shoot film,and use DSLRs,and the Sony here is a niche item for those who NEED those features..When it's cheaper and more mature, I will have another look..
As a landscape and wildlife photographer, this camera would represent a massive step backwards in noise, dynamic range and added post processing i dont need to do now.
except for sports, there is no reason to go for this camera. This wont change shit. Worse colors, worse noise for better speed. You dont need speed in 9/10 cases in photography
@8:30 After using Vision Pro, I think we have reached the peak of the "built-in camera display." The future is clearly in head-mounted displays for production. If camera manufacturers work on this, we'll see an incredibly compelling virtual display feature in a few years.
Blackmagic have the camera screen UI down pretty well. And there is BRAW. So a Blackmagic camera with this sensor would be nice!
I will wait until a more reasonable camera comes with global sensor. I love the A7 IV. Also love that I got mine used from a dealer like new. I will spend money on a good zoom lens instead. 9:12 Interesting, was this with filming or photos? I have A7IV it worked flawlessly not recording, and taking photos connected to Samsung A52S with me being somewhere past 10 meters away I think, the preview was not laggy at all with photo. But video on the other hand a bit, but don't remember it exactly. But in your case it's extreme. Was it only with recording video? I took photos of my self. And that was before updating the firmware, the new app works well too, but not tried it with long distance. But the 2.01 firmware works well, 1.11 had slow start up sometimes. But Samsung A52S has really good signal. Maybe this camera has bad wifi, or your phone. I know my old phone(Sony XZ premium had horrible connection in addition to being a hand warmer) But video was a bit laggy, but usable on both old and new firmware.
Sony made a CCD Broadcast video camera, the PMW500 and PXWX500...they charge a premium for those 90's tech sensors!
Translating the fps to family photos. This could be the cure for my wife blinking in all the photos 😢🎉
This, sir, is the best comment of this section. Hahahah!
To all…..nice and “if you wait the price will drop” (I heard Ray Kurzweil say this live at MIT……just to verify my statement and source). I agree with the wait to buy in the video. Question: can you use a digital pen on the screen? I know, on more piece of equipment but I am using one regularly and my iPad case has a carry spot for it. It has made a significant difference for me.
This might be the most legit review and explanation ive ever seen.
Well explained 👍👏
It was called Blackmagic Production Camera i guess? Back in 2012 or something - it had global shutter and it was pretty cool and unique at that time. Nic that after 10 years somebody bring this basic function back and even for photo use!
The video was over when I saw the black speck on his hand. Drove me bananas crazy.
The touchscreen on my 5DM4 is awsome and does not activate options I din't click. It's very recent, ... from 2016, so if this Sony camera has some touchscreen issues, it's probably on that specific tech used. Same for the connectivity with the Phone. (But with the 5DM4 and inteference, the screen will lag the further you are. It's because those cameras don't use the full Wifi, they use a small footprint Wifi that consume less power and has shorter distances)
Thank you, I wonder if there‘s a way to connect the camera through a usb-c cable to an iphone 15
Great Video!!
Could you talk about what the price of your camera should be? As a professional photographer, it would seem like 6k for your main camera wouldn't be too expensive. Or is it that it's not the right fit? What camera do you use and price?
I have heard that resolve is working on a routine that will correct the rolling shutter problem completely.
This is huge! Being able to shoot at f/1.2 or f/0.95 in daylight without an ND Filter ... wow. I went from an NEX-3n to a Sony a7 mark I to a Sony a7CR ... to me, the changes were already huge! For others who upgrade their cameras more frequently, the changes may just seem small and disappointing. As for me, the a7CR was the camera I've dreamt about since the release of the Sony NEX-7. The a9III is not for me but I like how it's features will trickle down to cheaper cameras eventually.
Of course mark 1/nex to A7cr is huge jump, lol enjoy nice camera very much advanced technology
Your explanation of how a rolling shutter works is 100% INCORRECT. The sensor is exposed line by line, and that's what causes the Jello effect.
1:42 "every camera with a shutter has a maximum sync speed". That statement makes the assumption that every camera has a curtain shutter which is not true. Most, possibly all SLR cameras have a curtain shutter but that's not "every camera".
You should check your setting because you can You shoot High Speed sync (Hss) on A7IV way beyond the 250 sync speed
Yes, but...
I’ve been using sleep and dslr cameras for 4 decades. And I love a big body. Not to mention I have big hands. I hate that they went with small body cameras! Get back to full size cameras and we get the room on the screen to touch the icons as well as making it a better fit for an (adult) sized hand!
You can explain the GS much better as it really works. First non-GS do not stop exposure without a mechanical shutter. Fast reading do not stop exposure. Only electrical reset will do it but destroy the exposure result too. So GS transfer from exposure to a storage close to the pixel and then read serial. The local storage is the compromize which give you the reduce performance.
So no 8K support? I use my Sony A7VR for still mostly, will the A9 III make for a good low light video camera?
Man, I hope in the future this technology will be available in medium format cameras.
Ccd cell with flourescent pixel on third layer can transfer to led screen then go back to ram to buffer then to memory then enscryp from memory goes back to mrmory
AT last, I hate the fact you have to read the T&C to find how many actuations before your camera is useless or need a service (Trying to find someone to service time was difficult). I used to shoot over 10,000 every week and the cameras kept on getting shutter lag to a freeze. For Astro photography you want to stack a lot of frames. I used to use my iPad to connect to my cameras, loved the QX100 even though it was a paperweight until the brought out a software update. 120fps is great for Ice Hockey, that used to cost me a lot in cameras, storage, and especially lenses, I am a Sony person (Straight from Minolta), so I am glad it is a sony that answers this question "Why are Shutters still a thing in 2020s"
Amazing that it’s taken this long. I always thought it was crazy the we still needed a physical mechanical shutting in front of a digital sensor!
Read a bit more about electronics, about design and production challenges so you will see quite a lot of physical limitations ;-) What you said is a bit like: it was crazy that people were using 166MHz processors, why they were not using 2GHz at least? ;-)
Only on CMOS sensors, not on CCD. All true video cameras have CCD sensors for that reason. CCD is global shutter by technological design. Heck knows why camera industry went CMOS instead of advancing CCD technology. All early point and shoot such as Canon Ixus 300, 400 etc. have CCD sensors and for that no rolling shutter.
@@rolandrickphotography good question, the reason is due to production and innovation cost. CCD sensors were prohibitive on both counts, although undoubtedly would have resulted in better long term results. Hence the industry went with CMOS.
@@pawelmod3292 Yeah, ok bud.
Several years back, most APS-C and FF cameras had electronic rolling shutters that took 1/12s! Mechanical was around 1/250s - 1/350s. I bought a Pentax Q back in 2012 thinking that I could use it with my EOS-mount telephotos for photographing birds, but the very slow rolling electronic shutter made every shot that was hand-held with very narrow angles of view look like it was taken in a funhouse mirror. I wished for a leaf-shutter adapter, but my wish was never granted.
Yep... I'm waiting
3:18 wow it must be SO HARD to get equal exposure and magnification for the two cameras for the same subject and lighting condition /s
What camera do you suggest for someone who hates using my phone for pictures. Prefer something compact.
Isn't 120 frames useful for doing slow-mo in post-production? Red cameras do high frame rates for that reason.
I have a Polaroid instant and it’s fantastic Takes phenomenal pictures and cost is incredible 24.99 and I have plenty of film
The best explanation of digital capture I’ve heard to date
But it is somewhat erronous re rolling shutter. Se my other comment
Excellent video.
if camera shutters worked the way that animation indicates that they do then, unless the shutter moves at the speed of light, you’d be seeing the bottom of the frame exposed to much more light than the top of the frame. like several stops more given the mechanical limitations of a design as shown in the animation.
You connection issues seem very very very similar to ones we have with the A7siii. I know it’s a new camera with a new app. But… when we have this issue it turns out another device has taken control of the camera already and we just can’t tell. My partner and I now religiously turn bluetooth off on our watches, ipads and iphones except the one device we want to use. Problem solved. Maybe somehow a device is taking over? 🤷♂️
I didn't realize that this was still an issue. I knew that less expensive video cameras still had issues with the rolling shutter. If I recall correctly, back when flash bulbs and flash cubes were in use (late 1960's - 1980's) a lot of inexpensive film cameras would use a 1/125-second shutter to capture the entire duration of flash. Something like 1/250 was the standard, I think. A trick in lower-light situations was to install a used flash cube to fool the camera into using the slower shutter setting. Yes, I am an Old Fart.
Leaf shutter is pretty cool look into it
The shutterless design should capture unparalleled imagery of ultrafast UAPs.
Do you think we might see the Alpha 9iii sensor in a camcorder?
Flash duration of speedlights are like nanoseconds at lower power - incredible for stopping motion.
First still digital camera with a global shutter.... except the Nikon D70, D70s, D40 and probably a couple of other of their 6 MPix APSC cameras (not D100). Mine works fine up to 1/4000s with a basic manual flash,. You can get one second hand for 1/100 of the price of a A9III. You get 3fps instead of 120fps and it sucks at low light/high shutter rates without a flash, but what do you expect from an early DSLR.
As far as I know all Sony A mount cameras with CCD sensors were also GlobalShutter cameras. The rolling shutter problem started to emerging when they switched from CCD to CMOS
Great video
So, there are a number of shooting scenarios for wgich this camera is optimal: 1) You really need 120fps (sports?) 2) You like to shoot portraits in mid sun outside wide open f1.2 at 1/80.000th (darken the sun at noon) and use a simple 200ws flash in a big softbox to achieve this 3) You are constantly shooting inside with crappy ambient LEDs formerly having caused banding in your images I would like to do 2+3 but I am not really sure this make sense from a business perspective. At the moment, I do not get extra clients or lose existing clients because I am working my A9II cameras a bit harder (doing a bit of high-flash sync outside and messing with finding an appropriate shutter speed to reduce banding in these ugly-light venues)
Actually, the first (maybe, i didn't research on that) Still-Camera (Sony) with a CMOS-Sensor with Global Shutter. CCD Sensors have a global Shutter. And BMD, RED and some other Brands already use a global shutter in some models. And to be honest. The Rolling Shutter issue in Sony Cameras, is really strong. So they needed this. Good Job Sony. Let's see where this will lead.
nice presentation
Iknow it's a weird question for this video. I was curious what brand watch he has?
I like having lots of FPS in wildlife photography, so I can choose that exact wing , beak, head Tallon position. With that said 20FPS pretty much nails that every time.
That fence/rail with white paint peeling is so puertorican 😜
ok, this time, the clickbait title is justified. Really impressed by the content and the way you shared it
some innovation at last .Hats off to sony
I wonder when instead of shallow depth of field the industry moves to greatest depth of field 🤔 like for tourist memory photos etc. In built multi stacked focus in real time. Smartphones will have the A.I. processing & with global shutters will be pushing 🫸 photo cameras 📷 from the other side too - as simulated shallow depth of field is already in smartphones today 😊
my sony's eye-AF on my a7iii has been locking to the gravel when shooting with a 14mm lens and shooting full body. It finds the subject's eye but then locks on the gravel in the foreground. Makes me hesitant to shoot without checking.
