The small camera with a wide zoom range
The HX99 covers the range from 24 mm wide-angle to 720 mm telephoto, making it the perfect camera for all types of shooting - from memorable travel photography to everyday snapshots. The ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* Lens ensures outstanding image quality throughout the zoom range. Clear Image Zoom allows the subject to be enlarged further (up to 1440 mm) while maintaining high resolution.
Exmor R and BIONZ X for outstanding image quality
The HX99's image sensor (rear-exposed 18.2-megapixel effective CMOS sensor) uses the advanced BIONZ X image processing system to deliver outstanding image quality, even for fine textures and minute details. With an ISO range of 80 to 6400 (extended), great shots are possible even in low light. Enhanced color reproduction provides a natural skin tone.
4K video recorded with full pixel display
The HX99 is the first camera in the HX series to record 4K video (QFHD, 3840 x 2160 pixels). High-quality 4K video is achieved through full sensor pixel display without pixel binning - capturing approximately 1.6 times the required information. This oversampling effect ensures photos with excellent resolution with less moiré effects and image defects.
Fast Intelligent AF to capture decisive moments
The camera features Fast Intelligent AF, which features extremely fast and accurate autofocus with contrast detection. Focusing is achieved by reducing unnecessary lens movement, predicting the AF area, and accelerating the lens drive. The result is improved response time that means you no longer miss fleeting moments.
AF with Eye Detection for perfect portrait shots
Sophisticated AF with Eye Detection automatically detects and focuses on the eyes of key subjects in your shots when activated. Eyes are detected quickly and accurately even in difficult conditions, such as downward-looking subjects, backlighting, or low light.
Continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second
You can shoot high-speed continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second. The camera automatically changes settings for optimal exposure - even when image brightness changes during continuous shooting. In addition, continuous shooting can be displayed, deleted, and protected in groups.
Image stabilization with Optical SteadyShot
Using the powerful gyro sensor and a special algorithm, the Optical SteadyShot function stabilizes the image and effectively reduces camera shake. As a result, handheld shots and telephoto zoom shots succeed even at high magnification. Because it is an optical function, resolution is not reduced for stabilization.
Clear, easy-to-use OLED Tru-Finder
The high-contrast OLED Tru-Finder is now even more compact is much brighter than conventional electronic viewfinders. It displays real-time preview and shooting information so you know exactly how your shot will look. The viewfinder retracts easily, making the camera easy to carry, secure, and convenient.
Adjustable ring for advanced photo shooting

Touch Focus and Shutter
The Touch Focus function lets you tap the LCD screen with your finger where you want to focus. This allows you to focus on your subject intuitively in photos and videos, even at the edge of the image, without having to change the image section. The shutter can also be operated via the LCD screen.
Zoom Assist
If you zoom in to compose a picture and lose a moving subject, Zoom Assist helps you find it again quickly. Program the function to the custom C button, which you then simply press and hold to zoom away, find the subject again, and crop. Then release the button again. The camera quickly zooms back to the original focal length so you can continue shooting the subject.
Shooting in RAW format
To give users full control over the final look of their shots, the HX99 optimally captures photos in RAW format. This format retains all sensor data, making it easy to modify exposure, brightness, white balance, and other image data using image editing software.
High frame rate HD video recording for fast-moving subjects
When shooting video, you can record fast-moving subjects in high frame rate HD at up to 120p (NTSC) or 100p (PAL) and edit them into stunning slow-motion footage. The high bit rate of up to 100 Mbps16 ensures detailed recordings.
Record proxy files for easier sharing of 4K video
The camera can record low-bitrate proxy files in parallel with full-resolution 4K video recordings for easier handling. This allows you to quickly upload and share recordings after recording for straightforward collaboration.
AF focus for better photo opportunities
With autofocus focus, captures and tracks moving images. The shot size is automatically adjusted to the size of the subject, autofocus performance increases, and you can take full advantage of all photo opportunities.
Firm grip for blur-free shots
The grip fits perfectly in your hand so you can hold the camera steadily despite its compact size. Handheld photos can be taken stably and blur-free - even with one hand.
Internal pop-up flash
Various flash modes are possible with the camera's built-in manual pop-up flash. Slow sync lets you capture atmospheric night portraits, 2nd-curtain sync lets you creatively capture motion, and the auto flash setting automatically detects if flash is needed.
