Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V review
Compact camera with 16x optical zoom The Sony ® 16x optical zoom G lens
brings distant subjects super close for great outdoors, sports, and travel
photos. The compact size makes it easy to take along in a pocket, purse, or
backpack.
3D Still Image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode Produce awe-inspiring images
with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ capabilities. 4 Photos will
take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a
whole new way.
Background Defocus DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur
the background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now our
point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system
takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused
background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization Optical SteadyShot™ image
stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and
automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing
image quality.
Motion Detection It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to
review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the
camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images,
recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is
detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you
take the shot.

brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s Sony ® G lens to

sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In
addition, the combined “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and BIONZ ® image

stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your
Blu-ray Disc™ players, Sony ® PlayStation ® 3 systems and compatible
PCs and HDTVs.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ mode With Intelligent Sweep Panorama™ mode
just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest.
It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution
panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This
model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently
different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Superior Auto mode Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed
shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then
quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater
clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology
and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto
intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and 44 scenes for movies,
making it easy to get the best shot.
Soft Skin mode Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode
recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles
without affecting the rest of the shot.
Smile Shutter™ technology Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile
the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter™ button and the
camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority and
indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene
Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter™ mode. This means
that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the
particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and
backlighting.
Anti-blink Function It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to
review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the
camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images,
recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is
detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you
take the shot.
Includes Sony ® PMB Portable software With the pre-installed Picture
Motion Browser (PMB) Portable the DSC-HX9V makes it easy to pre-select
videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the
camera to a compatible PC and popular Internet sharing sites without the
need for any additional software to install.?
Backlight Correction HDR Don’t miss a single detail in high contrast
shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes the image and
automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot.
Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking three pictures at
different exposure settings and processing the best elements of each into a
single image for more natural looking shots.
Hi-speed Linear Focus Life moves fast, your camera’s focus needs to move
just as fast. The Hi-speed linear focus achieves dramatically clearer
images with an auto focus that moves just as fast as your life.
Digital Zoom Capturing the right shot at the right moment has never been so
easy. Digital zoom brings you right close up to the action so you can get
that perfect shot, every time.
Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just
don’t capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode
takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to
correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
Face Detection technology Sony’s Face Detection technology can
automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection
technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of
family and friends.

DSC-HX9V can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software for
PC and iMovie ® (sold separately) for Mac ® systems. 1
