Unlike conventional photo shooting, where the camera starts recording the moment the Record button is pressed, the CA9 keeps loading images as long as the Photo button is kept pressed down. After you release your finger from the Photo button, the most recently loaded images are recorded onto your inserted SD card. This new style of photo capture is called reverse sequential shooting. Now you have more chance to capture sudden photo opportunities.

The CA9 is able to detect your subjects’ faces instantly. Even if the faces move, the CA9 can follow them and adjust the focus and exposure to match your central subject. The Face Chaser function has been developed so that it can even follow faces from a side-on angle.
Note: Depending on the subject and shooting conditions, face detection may not operate as expected.
Using SANYO’s original digital image stabilizer technology, the CA9 reduces camera shake for both videos and photos. Now you can shoot without worrying about the camera shake that typically occurs when zooming in on your subject.
Note: The stabilizer may not compensate for extreme camera shake or for shaking that occurs at slow shutter speeds.
The VPC-CA9’s characteristic waterproof mode enables it to capture underwater images with more realistic colors.
Simply select the mode best suited to your subject for easy and beautiful shooting.

High-resolution 9-megapixel photos can be recorded at a sensitivity of up to ISO 1600. This means you can capture the natural colors of faces and indoor scenes at night, as well as night scenes where you don’t want to use a flash.
Ideal for shooting accessories or products for online auctions, the VPC-CA9’s super macro function lets you shoot subjects from just 1 cm away.
Even when the subject is not in the center of the frame, the CA9 can automatically focus on it to avoid blurred photos.
The 16:9 wide mode lets you capture broad scenes, such as sweeping landscapes, that require a wider aspect ratio.
Note: In wide mode, the camera records at either 6.7 M resolution (3456 x 1944 pixels) or 0.9 M resolution (1280 x 720 pixels).
The CA9 can be connected via USB cable to any printer with a PictBridge logo. After connecting the devices, you can print out your desired images by simply choosing them on the camera’s monitor.
The CA9 features separate adjustable modes for exposure correction, aperture adjustment, and shutter speed. Manual mode, meanwhile, lets you adjust both the aperture and shutter speed to match the shooting situation.
