Camera Overview — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Sony's BIONZ image processor. It delivers a maximum photo resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and supports an ISO range from 100 to 3200, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. The camera features optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce blur during handheld shooting.

For focusing, it relies on a contrast detection autofocus system with 9 focus points and subject tracking, though eye tracking is not available. Burst shooting is supported at up to 10 frames per second, making it capable for capturing fast-moving subjects. On the video side, the HX9V records up to 1080p at frame rates of 60fps, 50fps, 30fps, and 25fps in 8-bit color.

The 3.0-inch TFT LCD display resolves 921,600 dots for clear image review and composition. A built-in pop-up flash with multiple modes handles low-light situations, and connectivity options include USB, Micro HDMI output, and support for SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick media formats. The body is constructed from plastic composite, measures 105 x 59 x 34 mm, and weighs 245g.
