Sony steps up the picture quality of ultra-slim
digital still cameras with the Cybershot DSC-T9 model, the first in
this category to offer both Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization
and high light sensitivity. With these Sony technologies, the six-megapixel
DSC-T9 delivers more detailed images with significantly less blur and
graininess than typical point-and-shoot cameras. Optical image stabilization
reduces image blur from hand movement, while high light sensitivity
helps to lessen blurriness resulting from low-light conditions. The
end effect is better-focused, expressive images that look more like
the way you see them, imitating the human eye.
Get a Clear Shot
Sony is the first manufacturer to incorporate an advanced lens-shift
optical image stabilizer into a camera with a folded-path lens system.
This is what allows for a compact form; the lens does not have to
extend from the body of the camera.
The model is equipped with a newly-developed lens-shift system with
two gyro-sensors that detects hand movement, and automatically calculates
the compensation needed to provide a clear, crisp image.
The model's high light sensitivity (up to IS0 640) allows you to
capture clearer pictures in available light, giving you the option
to not use a flash, which sometimes creates unwanted glare or harsh
highlights. As a result, images have greater atmosphere and more detail,
even when reflective surfaces like glass and mirrors are in the pictures.
Enhanced Photo Sharing Brings Your Photos to Life
With a slim body less than one-inch wide, this compact powerhouse
not only takes great pictures but also brings them to life with Sony's
Clear Photo Plus LCD screen and slide show function. The 2.5-inch
LCD features astonishing vividness and greatly improved color reproduction
compared to previous models. It is the perfect screen to show off
your pictures as a slide show, which the camera creates for you--without
having to use a PC.
You can select up to four themes, such as "Stylish" or
"Active," to play back your images, complete with dynamic
transitions choreographed to your choice of music clips. Depending
on your PC configuration, you can also upload your own music with
the supplied software.
Big Features, Small Body
The DSC-T9 camera offers mega resolution at six megapixels for high-quality
images, a 3x Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar optical zoom lens, MPEG movie
recording, and 58 MB of internal memory for storage and easy transfer
to an optional Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media card,
now available in capacities up to two gigabytes.
As with other T-series cameras, you simply slide the lens cover down
and the camera is ready to capture images in seconds. Despite the
power consumption of the optical image stabilizer, Sony's Real Imaging
Processor power management system helps this model to achieve exceptional
battery life, up to 240 shots per charge.
More For Your Memories
With the DSC-T9's slide show feature, sharing your photos right on
the camera's LCD is more enjoyable. You can even connect directly
to your television with supplied cables. However, if prints are what
you want, then you can connect the model to a Sony DPP-FP50 digital
photo printer and print from the convenience of your own home. Don't
think that you're limited to basic prints with this camera; you can
even create postcards or calendars using the printer's supplied software.
Sleek Styling
The stainless metallic finish is a knockout--and its 5/8-inch thickness
makes the DSC-T9 an amazing demonstration of Sony's ability to combine
high-tech performance features in ultra-compact dimensions.
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
allow more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and
reducing noise.
Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization
Sony's Super SteadyShot system uses sensors to detect camera movement
while it sends correcting signals in order to stabilize the lens.
This system results in the reduction of image blur and camera shake
when shooting in low light.
Shoot Natural Images Indoors Without Flash
Why ruin the mood by using a flash? Along with Sony's Super SteadyShot
system, you'll have higher ISO sensitivity for bright indoor scenes,
even in very low light--plus Sony's Clear RAW Noise Reduction system
to counter the picture noise traditionally associated with high ISO.
Carl Zeiss 3x Optical/2x Precision Digital Zoom
An ingenious folding optical path provides 3x optical zoom capability
in amazingly compact camera dimensions--and Sony's precision 2x digital
zoom lets you zoom in on a subject without creating jagged edges.
Capture Images In-Camera
With 58 MB Internal Memory, the DSC-T9 allows you to shoot photos
without a flash memory card--then transfer your images to Memory Stick
Duo media, upload to your computer or make prints on your digital
printer.
Adjustable Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen
With its Clear Photo LCD Plus design, the DSC-T9's big, bright 2.5-inch
screen raises the standard for built-in, on-screen picture viewing--and
gives you adjustable brightness to images look better even in bright
sunlight.
Slide Show with Music Playback
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.
High-Stamina InfoLithium Rechargeable Battery
A supplied NP-FT1 InfoLithium rechargeable battery lets you shoot
up to 2,404 pictures, recharges quickly and easily with no "memory
effect," and shows you how much shooting time remains.
13x Smart Zoom Feature (at VGA Resolution)
The Cybershot DSC-T9 gives you Sony's 13x Smart Zoom feature to zoom
in on your subject.
Optional Cybershot Station Cradle
For fast, no-hassle hookup, the DSC-T9 snaps into an optional, compatible
Cybershot Station cradle with USB connector for your PC, TV connector
for viewing images on large screens, AC power input for recharging
your InfoLithium battery.
Real Imaging Processor LSI
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.

The DSC-T9 has a built-in slot for optional Memory Stick Duo media
that provides ultra-compact, high-capacity shooting and recording.
