 T* lens. The sensor enables advanced 

column A/D processing that reduces noise levels, resulting in astonishing low light images with 

incredible smooth and clear details.

Bright F1.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 3.6x zoom

Newly developed large-diameter F1.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens delivers refined background 

defocusing - bokeh. A premium multi-layered T* coating also dramatically reduces ghost and 

flare caused by light reflection.

P/A/S/M modes for video and stills

Enjoy a full range of controls for video and still shooting from the beginner's iAUTO mode to 

P/A/S/M: Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual. On-screen prompts help you 

refine your skills, build your confidence and exercise greater creative control.

Capture JPEG files, RAW files, or both

The DSC-RX100 saves pictures as compact JPEG files and/or ultra-high quality RAW files. RAW 

files save images prior to de-mosaicing, white balance, sharpness and color enhancement. This 

retains maximum latitude for enhancing the image on your PC.

Full HD 1080/60p 

Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60p in 1080. 

This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.2 With 

dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.

Low-light ISO 6400 sensitivity 

Incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail, made possible by the low-noise  

Exmor® CMOS image sensor and refined BIONZ® image processor.

High speed Auto Focus

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.

Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps

Capture full 20.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure 

that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, a 

mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.

3” Xtra Fine LCD™ Display

The 3” (1,229k dots) Xtra Fine LCD™ Display makes it easy to scroll through menus and preview 

life Picture Effects. WhiteMagic™ increases visibility in bright daylight. The large display delivers 

brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.

Customizable function button

Assign up to seven different functions to the function button, to allow quick access to your most 

frequently used functions.
