World’s first fixed lens 35mm camera
The DSC-RX1 is the world’s first fixed lens 35 mm full-frame digital camera which offers an
uncompromising design that focuses on an intuitive, user-friendly operation. The camera fits
in the palm of a hand and allows users to carry it nearly everywhere to capture any shooting
opportunity that arises.
Full HD 24p video
Full HD 24p video with manual control and audio input.¹ For creative flexibility while shooting
movies and stills, users can enter Program Auto (P), Aperture Priority (A), Shutter Speed Priority
(S) or Manual Exposure (M) mode for manual shooting and exposure control. Enjoy clear sound
recording and playback via built-in stereo microphone and mono speaker. Additionally, an
optional microphone can be plugged into the camera.
Amazing Low-light performance
Experience incredible low-light shooting without a flash. The camera captures six images in a
fraction of a second. Combining the data from all six, it creates a single image with a reduction
in noise equivalent to two additional steps of ISO sensitivity. Sensitivity selectable up to ISO 25600.
(Recommended for still subjects.)
High speed Auto Focus
Focus as fast as 0.13 seconds with high speed AF. To improve focusing speed and sensitivity,
the Exmor
®
CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput to deliver high-quality image signals to the
camera’s BIONZ
®
processor, which provides intelligent response data to a new high speed
actuator motor in the lens. The result is fast, DSLR-like focusing speeds even in low light.
Full frame burst shooting
High speed continuous shooting at up to 5 frames per second (fps) is made possible by the
BIONZ
®
processor and 24 megapixel sensor.
Three control lens rings
Full manual operation is intuitive on the RX1. Users can keep their eyes on the subject and
concentrate on the composition while comfortably adjusting the dedicated aperture, focusing,
and macro switching rings.
Conveniently placed dials
Quick access to conveniently placed exposure compensation and focus mode dials.
