Despite its small size, the camera offers a wide zoom range, from wide-angle shooting at 24 mm to telephoto lens at 720 mm, while with the clear image zoom function, the subject of the photography is magnified without sacrificing high resolution, up to 1440 mm.
The HX99 is the smallest compact camera in the world and you can take it with you everywhere. It features a 24-720mm zoom, 4K video recording, fast, intelligent autofocus, eye autofocus, Optical SteadyShot, high-contrast OLED Tru-Finder, convenient control ring, and a 180° tiltable touchscreen for ease of use.
ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* high magnification lens
Despite its small size, the camera offers a wide zoom range, from wide-angle shooting at 24 mm to telephoto lens at 720 mm, while with the clear image zoom function, the subject of the photography is magnified without sacrificing high resolution, up to 1440 mm.
Optical SteadyShot for superior quality images
The advanced algorithms of the HX99 and the high-performance gyroscopic sensor work together to compensate for the camera shake. This significantly reduces shake, even when shooting handheld at high zoom.
Assistive zoom for easy targeting of moving subjects
The zoom assist feature allows for quick and easy targeting of moving subjects with a telephoto lens. Assign a button to this function and, when pressed, the camera will temporarily reduce the zoom to help you locate and re-target the subject quickly.
High-resolution 4K video and high-quality still images
The advanced imaging technology provides superior image quality for both videos and static images. From natural portraits to vibrant images even in low-light conditions, you will have beautiful images tailored to the shooting conditions.
Beautiful Capture of Fine Textures
Advanced image processing technology for high-resolution noise-free images
The Exmor R CMOS sensor with back-illuminated, the actual resolution of 18.2 MP and the advanced BIONZ X image processing system offer noise reduction at high ISO settings, such as ISO6400 (with extension). Ideal reproduction of fine textures, shadows in low light and improvement of color performance, especially for human skin tones.
Recording 4K video for ultimate detail
4K videos (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) are recorded with full pixel readout without loss
The camera captures approximately 1.6 times more information required for 4K video output, resulting in exceptional resolution with reduced moiré and aliasing artifacts. The videos also accurately reproduce textures and fine details to a degree that was not possible in Full HD.
Capture special moments as they happen
Quick smart automatic focus in 0.09 sec.
The spatial detection algorithm and fast lens mechanism of the HX99 are ideal for fleeting moments. The algorithm predicts the focus point and the autofocus focuses on the subject as you press the shutter button halfway.
Eye autofocus for perfect portraits
Eye autofocus automatically detects and focuses on the eyes of central subjects, even in difficult conditions, such as when the subject is looking downwards or when faces are backlit or when lighting is low.
Continuous shooting at high speed up to 10 fps
Capture continuous images up to 155 frames at high speed up to 10 fps
When capturing fast action, you will appreciate the impressive continuous shooting capabilities of the camera. Also, you can view, delete, and protect images taken with continuous shooting in groups.
Intuitive Touch Functions
With touch focus, you define the focus simply by tapping on the screen, while the touch surface function smoothly shifts the focus as you slide your finger on the LCD screen. You can also activate the shutter by pressing the LCD screen.
180° tiltable LCD screen for easy selfies
The Extrafine 3.0 LCD screen with 922,000 dots resolution can be flipped up by approximately 180°, allowing you to quickly check the composition of selfies or memorable photos with friends.
Instant Connectivity for Easy Sharing
Compatibility with Wi-Fi, NFC, and Bluetooth
Check the shutter, zoom, and other functions of the camera wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet device with the Imaging Edge Mobile app. Transfer photos and videos wirelessly. With Bluetooth connectivity to your smartphone, automatic geotagging of your images with the location where they were taken is also possible.
