Sony DSC-RX100 MkV

RX100 V The premium 1.0-type sensor compact camera with superior AF performance

The RX100 V introduces the speedy, precise Fast Hybrid AF to the RX100 series for unrivalled 0.05-sec. AF speed; high-speed continuous shooting at up to 24fps with AF/AE tracking for up to 150 shots 4K movie shooting , and super slow motion recording at up to 960fps.

ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens for rich depiction

Large-aperture ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm (equ) F1.8-2.8 lens allows wide-angle shooting out to 24mm. Maximum aperture of F2.8 at the telephoto end enables capture of images without camera shake and subject motion blur and capturing photos (such as portraits) with beautiful background bokeh. ZEISS® T* Coating reduces ghost and flare.

Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor for speed

The newly developed 20.1 effective MP 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip enables up to 960 fps super slow motion shooting and super high-speed Anti-Distortion Shutter up to 1/32000 sec. that are too fast for human eyes to perceive. Moreover, 315-point focal plane phase detection AF provides for extraordinarily precise autofocusing and tracking performance.

BIONZ X™ for superior detail and texture

As the engine that powers the conversion of light captured by an image sensor into digital images, the BIONZ X image processing engine is as essential to the RX100 V as its lens and sensor. High-speed BIONZ X enables this camera to shoot photos and movies with truer, more natural details, richer tonal gradations and lower noise.

Dense, widespread 315-AF-point coverage

The world's most focal-plane phase-detection AF points (315) cover approx. 65%25 of the entire image area of the newly developed image sensor. This makes AF coverage widespread and dense enough to quickly capture subjects, such as small or fast-moving ones that are otherwise difficult to focus on, throughout the image area.

Autofocus in just 0.05 sec.

Combining the superior speed of phase-detection AF and the outstanding accuracy of contrast-detection AF, the Fast Hybrid AF system featured for the first time in an RX100 series camera focuses in just 0.05 sec. in order to track and capture subjects precisely at the climactic moments you're aiming for.

Smooth-tracking continuous shooting up to 24fps

The RX100 V can perform high-speed continuous shooting at higher than 20MP resolution and up to 24fps with AF/AE tracking. In addition, the camera reduces blackout on the electronic viewfinder and LCD screen, and this reduction makes for smoother monitoring of moving subjects and easier shooting of fleeting moments.

Silent shooting for sensitive situations

You can mute the camera's shutter sound by making the following camera settings: 'Shutter type: Electronic' and 'Audio signals: Off'. This way, you can shoot quiet scenes and noise-sensitive subjects in silence, even during continuous shooting.

AF-A mode automatically switches focus mode

In AF-A mode, the camera automatically switches between AF-S mode (Single AF: locks focus while the shutter button is pressed halfway) and AF-C mode (Continuous AF: keeps focusing on subjects while the shutter button is pressed halfway), according to such changes as sudden subject movement and brightness as detected throughout the shooting frame.

1/32000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter

Up to 1/32000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter works to minimise image distortion caused by the rolling shutter phenomenon. The extraordinarily fast shutter speed also allows you to produce photos with background defocusing using a large aperture setting even under extremely bright conditions at a maximum of EV19.

Brilliant 4K movies

In shooting 4K (QFHD resolution: 3840 x 2160) movies with full pixel readout without pixel binning, the camera collects approx. 1.7 times as much information as is required for basic 4K movie output. This oversampling effect results in images of outstanding resolution with reduced moiré and jaggies.

Introducing Fast Hybrid AF for movies to the RX100 series

Fast Hybrid AF keeps images sharp and clear during the shooting of high-resolution 4K movies , thanks to the system's focal plane phase-detection AF sensor that enables accurate focusing and tracking performance.
