Written by: Profoto
Sony and Profoto are enhancing their technology partnership with firmware updates that make Profoto flashes fully compatible with Sony’s α9 III global shutter camera. The updates are designed to help creators spend less time adjusting settings and more time capturing the moment.
Today, Profoto is releasing the latest firmware updates, enabling full compatibility with Sony's flagship α9 III across all current Profoto products. This update delivers seamless flash synchronization in TTL at any shutter speed all the way up to 1/80,000s. This marks both companies’ dedication to making visual content creators’ lives easier.
Creative freedom at any shutter speed
The combination of Sony’s global shutter and Profoto’s advanced flash technology unlocks new possibilities. Photographers can fully control light—even in broad daylight—without loss of power or added complexity. Whether shaping dramatic shadows or freezing action with precision, creators can take advantage of the full potential of flash, using every bit of available light without compromise. Regardless of choice of strobe, Profoto A10, A2, B20, B30, D30, Pro-D3, Pro-B3 and Pro-11 together with Connect Pro, all deliver the same state-of- the-art synchronization.
Instant, flawless exposure
The system works right out of the box in Freeze mode, with automatic TTL exposure for rapid setup and seamless transitions between TTL and Manual mode for fine-tuned control. Creators can focus on their vision without technical interruptions.
A strategic step forward
This update reflects Profoto and Sony’s commitment to providing innovative tools that reduce technical friction and expand creative potential for professional photographers.
