Advanced Point-and-Shoot Digital Camera
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV Digital Camera is an advanced point-and-shoot with a 20.1-megapixel 1" Exmor RS CMOS sensor to produce high-resolution still imagery and 4K video. The stacked backside-illuminated design of the sensor improves clarity and image quality, while increasing the camera's native sensitivity to ISO 12,800. This is complimented by the A BIONZ X image processor, which helps to produce images with smooth quality and tonal gradations. Shoot at up to 16fps, and record UHD 4K movies with the option of Super Slow Motion frame rates of up to 960 fps.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV Digital Camera is NTSC and PAL switchable, while utilizing the XAVC S format to maximize high-bitrate shooting up to 100 Mbps for professional-quality video. The camera features a top mechanical shutter speed of 1/2,000 and electronic shutter speeds of up to 1/32,000 second which minimizes distortion caused by "rolling shutter" which can become apparent when shooting fast moving subjects. Additionally, this high-speed shutter provides the ability to shoot photos with defocused backgrounds even while using large aperture settings under very bright lighting conditions. This is achieved by a combination of the 1/32,000 second electronic shutter speed and a built-in, three-stop ND filter that allows photos to be shot under extremely bright light at a maximum of EV19 with a fully open aperture setting.
The built-in Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 2.9x zoom lens provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 24-70mm, covering wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives to suit working in a wide variety of environments. An f/1.8-2.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low lighting and controlling focus throughout the zoom range. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization is also available to help minimize the appearance of camera shake when working in dimly-lit conditions and with greater zoom magnifications. A Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating helps to reduce surface reflections, lens flare, and ghosting in order to produce imagery that is rich in contrast and clarity.
Compose your images using either the electronic 0.39" 2,359k-dot SVGA OLED Tru-Finder viewfinder or the 3.0" 1,229k-dot Xtra Fine LCD screen. The viewfinder features a unique pop-up mechanism that helps to maintain the compact form factor of the camera when carrying or if preferring to work with the rear screen. The LCD incorporates WhiteMagic technology for easier visibility in bright conditions and its tilting design permits greater usability from high, low, and front-facing angles. All this is complimented by built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC to allow instant image sharing, as well as remote camera control and monitoring from linked mobile devices.
