DSC-H9 Get into the action You may be on the sidelines. But your pictures can get right into the action with Sony high zoom cameras. Do you shoot kids' sports? Our DSC-H7 and DSC-H9 offer a 15x optical zoom lens that gets you far closer than conventional lenses. Since optical quality is critical, Sony uses a Carl Zeiss® lens. Since 15x optical zoom can magnify the effect of camera shake, Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization helps keep your pictures clearer. And since sports can mean blur, our Advanced Sports Shooting mode, intelligent continuous Auto Focus and ultra-fast 1/4000 second shutter speed deliver razor-sharp results.
