Motion Detection; Specifications - Sony DSC-HX9V Specifications

Smile Shutter™ technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile
Shutter™ button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority
and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be
used together with Smile Shutter™ mode. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured
with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and
backlighting.
Face Detection technology
Sony's Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults.
Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus,
exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.

Motion Detection

It's frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked
during the photo. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two
images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other
shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
