AF cross sensoring
The SD9’s AF cross sensor in the center of its viewfinder lets a photog- rapher select the subject of focus, according to compositional intention.
SIGMA lens motors for fast AF
Each SIGMA lens has a motor to drive focusing,
for AF shooting at speeds appropriate for the lens in use. Attachment of
a SIGMA HSMlens keeps shooting fast and quiet. Naturally, full manual focusing is also available.
Predictive movement Auto focus
For subjects moving closer or further away at a fairly steady speed, this feature calculates the distance the subject will travel until the shutter opens, and drives the lens to the optimal focus for the shot. Predictive movement AF operates automatically when the Continuous AF mode is on.
*If subject motion is irregular or motionless, predictive movement AF won't be activated.

Two focus modes
Continuous AF mode [ C, AF ]
In this mode, the camera continues focusing on a moving subject while the shutter button is pressed halfway. For example, when shooting athletes or moving vehicles, the motion prediction mech- anism will activate and control focus, predicting the subject’s trav- eling distance from the time the shutter button is pressed to the instant the shutter is released.

With a shutter up to 1/ 6000 - second fast, the SD9 can capture what even the human eye cannot see. Drops of water from a splash in the pool can be frozen in detail. Or use a high shutter speed for outdoor shooting with a telephoto lens to create an image in which a subject really stands out from the background.
