6.0 Megapixel Super HAD™ CCD

It’s another step up in megapixel performance, giving each photo greater detail when you make large prints and post photos on the Internet -- with Sony’s advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design that allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Sleek Styling, Ultra-Slim Dimensions

The stainless metallic finish is a knockout -- and its credit-card-size length and width makes the DSC-T9 an amazing demonstration of Sony’s ability to combine high-tech performance features in compact and ultra-thin size.

Slide Show with Music Playback¹

The DSC-T9 lets you view in-camera images in Slide Show sequence, with one-button operation, selectable transition effects and up to four music background tracks that make it more entertaining to share your memories with family and friends. You can even use supplied Picture Package Music Transfer software to add your own favorite music.

5 Area Multi-Point Auto Focus

By evaluating 5 separate focus areas of the frame, Sony’s Multi-Point AF system can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing on the background.

Pre-Flash Metering

With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and Red-Eye Reduction ensure great flash shots.

Optional Memory Stick DUO™ and Memory Stick PRO DUO™ Media

Digital. Powerful. Transportable.™ Optional Memory Stick® media is compact, portable and rugged -- connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.

Tripod Socket Included

The DSC-T9 includes a standard size tripod socket for easy attachment to optional Sony accessory tripods.

Slow Shutter Noise Reduction

Clear Color/Clear Luminance NR

Super SteadyShot® Optical Image Stabilization

Sony’s Super SteadyShot® system detects camera movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens to prevent image blur and reduce the effect of camera shake -- an advantage when shooting with such a small camera.

13X Smart Zoom™ Feature (at VGA resolution)

The Cyber-shot® DSC-T9 gives you Sony’s digital 13X Smart Zoom™ feature which at VGA resolution intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution -- avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

AF (Auto Focus) Illuminator

Briefly illuminating the subject, in low or no-light conditions, the AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Modes

Captures VGA (640x480) high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second) audio/video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.

14-Bit DXP A/D Conversion

Sony's 14-bit Digital EXtended Processor captures the range between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.

Capture Images In-Camera

ith 58 MB Internal Memory, the DSC-T9 allows you to shoot photos without a flash memory card -- so you can always get your shot even if you forgot your card. From internal memory, you can easily transfer your images to Memory Stick Duo™ media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital printer.

3:2 Aspect Ratio Mode Adjustable

Adjustable Color Saturation/Contrast

Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical/2X Digital Zoom

An ingenious lens design provides 3X Optical Zoom capability in amazingly compact camera dimensions -- and even at full zoom the lens doesn’t project beyond the camera body, preserving the ultra-slim styling of the DSC-T9.

Shoot Natural Images Indoors Without Flash

Why ruin the mood by using a flash– The DSC-T9 gives you higher ISO sensitivity to brighten your image when shooting in very low light -- plus Sony’s Clear RAW Noise Reduction system to counter the picture noise traditionally associated with high ISO. Sony’s Super SteadyShot® system, high ISO sensitivity and Clear RAW Noise Reduction all combine to let you shoot by natural light and still get great results.

Real Imaging Processor™ Technology

To improve camera response and extend battery life, Sony’s Real Imaging Processor LSI (Large Scale Integrated) circuit decreases shutter lag, improves picture quality and clarity, and increases battery stamina.

Scene Selection Mode

With 10 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Choose from one of the following: Beach, Candle, Fireworks, High Speed Shutter, Landscape, Magnifying Glass Mode, Snow, Soft Snap, Twilight, Twilight Portrait.

Adjustable Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen

With its Clear Photo LCD Plus design, the DSC-T9’s big, bright 2.5”² screen raises the standard for built-in, on-screen picture viewing -- and gives you adjustable brightness to images look better even in bright sunlight.

High-Stamina InfoLithium® Rechargeable Battery

A supplied NP-FT1 InfoLithium® rechargeable battery lets you shoot up to 240 pictures³, recharges quickly and easily with no "memory effect," and shows you how much shooting time remains.

Optional Cyber-shot Station™ Cradle

For fast, no-hassle hookup, the DSC-T9 snaps into an optional CSS-TNA Cyber-shot Station™ cradle with USB connector for your PC, TV connector for viewing images on large screens, and AC power input for recharging your InfoLithium® battery.
