Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9 review
Start snapping better photos with the Cyber-shot® DSC-WX9 digital camera,
featuring a 16.2-megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that
brings out the best in the Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens. You’ll
also enjoy high speed, sharp resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity
with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition,
BIONZ™ image processor helps produce extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion
Blur, Handheld Twilight and 1080i movie modes. And it’s all packed
into a sleek, pocket-sized package.
Full HD 1080/60i Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution
available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD?. This provides
stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD
TV.
Background Defocus DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur
the background, putting the emphasis on the 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.
Digital Zoom Capturing the right shot at the right moment has never been so
easy. Digital zoom brings the action up close to 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.
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.
TransferJet™ technology TransferJet™ technology, developed by Sony ®
and advanced and promoted by consortium of 18 other companies, allows you
to transfer up to ten files between two TransferJet enabled devices just by
touching their TransferJet logos together, without the hassle of hunting
for cables or the complication of pairing 5 .

Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software 2 the DSC-WX9 makes it easy to
pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them

without the need for any additional software or install.
16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS Image Sensor The DSC-WX9
features a 16.2 megapixel “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor that brings out
the full resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Tessar ®
lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning
low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced
grain. In addition, the combined “Exmor R” CMOS sensor and BIONZ™
image processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held
Twilight and 1080i movie modes 3 .
3D still image and panorama 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.
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.
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.
Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Tessar ® Lens with 25mm equivalent wide 5x Optical
Zoom The high-performance Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Tessar ® 5x optical zoom
lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for
outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and Close Focus shoots close-ups up to
just under ?” from the subject. A wide angle of 25mm equivalent
wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in
crowded spaces.
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.
Sweep Multi Angle™ mode In Sweep Multi Angle™ mode, the camera takes 15
images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the
camera during playback, the camera’s Gyro Sensor detects motion and
displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera’s LCD.
Compatible with PC and MAC Systems The high definition, AVCHD, video
captured with the DSC-WX9 can be used with the provided Picture Motion
Browser software1 for PC and iMovie ® (sold separately) for Mac systems?.
3.0” XtraFine 3.0” XtraFine technology gives you deeper blacks and more
color in your display, all while being thinner than most LCDs.
iSweep Panorama With iSweep Panorama just press the shutter, pan the
landscape and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together
each frame to produce a panoramic image. 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 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.
HDMI™ output The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) is a
compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed
digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a
compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc™ player, a personal computer, a video
game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or
video monitor such as a digital television (DTV). Easily connect your
Cyber-shot ® camera via HDMI cable to any compatible HDMI compatible
device to easily enjoy and upload content 6 .
Motion Detection Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts
ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected,
reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
Anti-Motion Blur Mode Capture cleaner and sharper images in low light for
non landscape shots. When set in Anti-motion Blur Mode, the DSC-WX9
captures six images in a fraction of a second with higher shutter speed and
combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary
detail and dramatically reduce subject blur, beyond the capability of
traditional cameras.
