Quick Navi enhances direct control of your favorite functions. Pressing the Fn button activates
Quick Navi, which allows the user to check camera settings at a glance and promptly change
settings without having to search for dedicated menus.
Memory recall
MR (memory recall) mode can memorize up to three groups of the user's preferred settings.
Settings include zoom magnification, white balance, exposure compensation, shutter speed,
drive mode and metering modes. This enables quick switching of settings at the right moment.
Nine aperture blades
Nine aperture blades form a nearly perfect circle throughout the normally used aperture range
of F2 to F22, resulting in background defocusing that is smooth and genuinely beautiful.
Expandable with multi interface shoe
The multi interface shoe allows easy connection with wide-ranging accessories expanding the
range of photographic expression. Available accessories include a powerful external flash unit,
electronic viewfinder,
3” Xtra Fine LCD™ Display
The 3” (1,229k dots) Xtra Fine LCD™ Display makes it easy to scroll through menus and preview
live Picture Effects. WhiteMagic™ technology increases visibility in bright daylight. The large
display delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation.
Auto HDR mode
Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle—and more range than
photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second
and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot (up to 6 EV stops), all in a split
second. (Recommended for still subjects.)
Dual-aspect ratio recording for still images
Capture still images in either 3:2 or 16:9 aspect ratio. This provides the freedom to choose a ratio
that matches the scene or the specific shooting purpose.
Built in pop up flash
Enjoy the convenience of flash photography everywhere you go. Guide number is
approximately 6*. Choose from Auto, Slow Sync, Rear Sync, Fill-flash and Flash Off modes.
Capture JPEG files, RAW files, or both
The DSC-RX1 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.
Four focusing modes
This camera has two Autofocus modes: Single-shot AF (AF-S) or Continuous AF (AF-C), which
tracks moving objects. It also has Manual Focus for manual focusing freedom, and Direct Manual
Focus (DMF), that first uses autofocusing to focus on the subject, and then allows fast and easy
switching to manual focusing for even more precise adjustment.

MF assist and peaking
Manual focus becomes much easier because peaking highlights the edges that are in focus
in your choice of three colors (white, red, or yellow). This is especially helpful during macro or
portrait photography where your focus setting can make or break your shot.
Creative Style settings
Control how the camera processes your images with 15 finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, Neutral,
Clear, Deep, Light, Twilight, Night View, Autumn Leaves, B&W, Sepia, Sunset, Portrait and
Landscape. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation3 , and sharpness to your personal taste.
