Features
High-Power Carl Zeiss® 15X Optical Zoom
A superb lens for bringing long-distance subjects up close, the pro-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-
Tessar® lens design of the DSC-H9 provides 15X Optical zoom design -- with 25X HD Digital zoom 
to enlarge the center portion of the picture so you see even more detail.
8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
More megapixels give you more detail and definition for editing, cropping, and making large 
digital prints.  Sony’s advanced Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more 
light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

 Clear Photo LCD Plus™ screen that tilts up for 
comfortable low-angle shooting -- plus simple camera menus, a new GUI Home button, and 
Function Guide display that makes it easier to learn camera setup operations.
NightShot® Infrared System
Sony’s NightShot® system provides infrared illumination for shooting in near-dark or totally dark 
conditions without using a flash -- so you can capture sleeping children, nocturnal animals and 
creative night scenes that lie beyond the power of conventional cameras.
Advanced Sports Mode
To capture fast-moving subjects in split-second detail, this innovative DSC-H9 shooting mode 
combines high shutter speed (1/4000 sec.) with Intelligent Continuous AF that responds more 
quickly to rapid motion -- a great way to catch the perfect moment in sports, children’s games, 
pet tricks and more.
Long-Distance Flash
A powerful flash provides extra illumination to light up subjects farther from your camera, with 
precise light control and the ability to adjust flash for both front and rear sync when shooting at 
low-speed sync setting.
