Playback Mode

Image review mode is fairly typical, operated by a combination of the directional pad and zoom lever. There's fullscreen with 8x magnification, grid display, and calendar display modes. Access speed is quick once the menu is going, but actually popping in and out of playback mode causes an annoying three second delay.

In-Camera Editing

It's possible to resize and rotate shots, or apply red eye correction from the playback menu. Unsharp masking is also offered, which adds a sharpening effect to a given image. These four options are the full extent of the HX9V's in-camera editing functionality.

Direct Print Options

DPOF tagging is supported for single and multiple images, and the interface is clean and quick. Be aware that support for the popular PictBridge standard is not listed, so the HX9V may not be immediately compatible with your home printer.
