With high-magnification ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens

Despite its compact size, the camera offers a broad zoom range from wide-end 24 mm1 to 720 mm1 telephoto, and with Clear Image Zoom the subject can be magnified while effectively preserving high resolution at up to 1440 mm1.

High-resolution 4K2 3 video and high-quality still images

Advanced imaging technology provides superior image quality in both videos and still shots. From natural-looking portraits to vibrant images even in dim lighting conditions, you'll get beautiful images that are well-suited to your shooting conditions.

Capture special moments when they happen

Speedy AF, combined with 10fps (max.)7 continuous shooting, helps you keep up with fast-moving subjects, making it easier to capture those decisive action shots.

Fast Intelligent AF with 0.09-second8 response

The HX99's spatial subject detection algorithm and fast lens drive help capture even fleeting moments. The algorithm predicts the focus point, then as the shutter button is half-pressed the AF quickly focuses on the subject.

Eye AF for perfect portrait shots

The Eye AF feature automatically detects and focuses on the eyes of the main subjects. It performs well even under difficult conditions, such as when the subject is looking downward or when faces are backlit or dimly lit.

Convenient features for easier shooting

Incorporated in the camera's compact body are a number of handy features that are designed to make shooting easier and more comfortable.

Touch functions that are simple and intuitive

Touch Focus lets you set the focus simply by touching the monitor, while the Touch Pad function shifts the focus smoothly when you slide a finger across the LCD screen. You can also trip the shutter by touching the LCD screen.

A 180° tiltable LCD screen for easier selfies

The 3.0-type Extrafine LCD screen with 922 k-dot6 resolution can be rotated upwards by around 180° so you can quickly check the composition of self-portraits or souvenir photos with friends.
