You can download the English Sony a9 manual (ILCE-9) in PDF format here.
However, I would actually recommend viewing the Sony a9 Online Help Guide instead of the user manual since this not only includes more details but it’s also a lot easier to navigate.
Sony a9 Forum & Facebook Group
If you are looking for further help and advice on the a9 or would simply like to share your photos, then please head over to our friendly Sony a9 Forum. If you prefer Facebook then I also run the Sony a9 / a9II Shooters Group.
The a9 Focus Settings Guide is also very useful if you want to understand more about the different focusing mode options on the Sony a9.

You will require firmware version 6.00 or later for animal eye autofocus, so check which firmware version you have installed via the menu.
