The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII Digital Camera is powered by a 1.0-type stacked 20.1 MP Exmor RS CMOS image sensor and the latest generation BIONZ X image processor, which work together to deliver peak autofocus and speed performance that has never before been available in a compact camera. Flexibility of shooting is ensured by a ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mmviii F2.8-4.5 high magnification zoom lens, making the RX100 VII a versatile choice for all types of shooting scenarios and users, ranging from photo enthusiasts to professionals.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VII: Compact Performance, Big Possibilities

FEATURES:

ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm1 F2.8-F4.5 high magnification zoom Lens

The ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm1 F2.8-4.5 zoom lens covers a broad zoom range equivalent to two standard zoom lenses (24-70mm and 70-200mm), all in a very compact size. It’s configured with eight aspherical lens elements to achieve maximum resolution, clarity and contrast across the entire zoom range, and all the way out to the edge of the image. Four of Sony’s original AA (advanced aspherical) elements help minimize spherical, coma and chromatic aberrations.

World’s fastest hybrid AF system

The fast, highly accurate autofocus can achieve a remarkable 0.02-sec.3 acquisition speed, the world’s fastest, to capture fleeting moments with precision. A total of 357 focal-plane phase-detection AF points covering approx. 68% of the image area – work in conjunction with 425 contrast-detection AF points and High-density AF Tracking Technology to follow even erratically moving subjects reliably.

Up to 20 fps Blackout-free Shooting, up to 60 times/sec. AF/AE calculations

The new image sensor offers continuous shooting at up to 20fps, and the camera tracks subjects with AF/AE calculations at up to 60 times per second, even when they are moving erratically or at high speed. Blackout-free shooting lets you track your subject’s movement without interruption on the camera’s LCD display or viewfinder screen just as if you were following with the naked eye.

Single Burst Shooting captures 7 shots at up to 30/60/90 fps in JPEG/RAW

The new Single Burst Shooting function will capture the tiniest slices of daily life, such as the very instant a tennis ball hits the racket, and turn them into works of art. Take seven shots in rapid succession at selectable speeds of 90fps, 60fps or 30fps, all triggered by a single press of the shutter button. Even fast-moving subjects can be captured thanks to the Anti-distortion Shutter, in RAW as well as JPEG image formats.

AI-based Real-time Tracking for stills and movies, and Touch Tracking

Real-time Tracking uses subject-recognition algorithms (AI) that draw on color, pattern (brightness), subject distance (depth) and face/eye information to track subjects wherever they move. Maintaining a constant, steady focus on a moving subject helps capture every important moment of action as it happens, whether taking stills or movies. Tracking can also be initiated through Touch Tracking, for both stills and movies.

Real-time Eye AF for human (stills and movies), and for animal (stills only)

Real-time Eye AF detects the subject’s eyes and maintains focus as the subject moves, leaving you free to compose your shot. The subject’s eyes are detected with half-press of the shutter, and it’s possible to select either the left or right eye of the subject. It can be used in conjunction with Real-time Tracking, in which case the focus frame can seamlessly switch between the subject’s face and eyes as the subject moves. Real-time Eye AF for Animals is also supported, helping to produce better pet portraits and wildlife shots.

Newly developed 20.1MP 1″ Exmor RS stacked BSI CMOS sensor w/ DRAM

The newly developed 20.1MP, 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor uses back-illumination technology with high light-collection efficiency and realizes fast readout to support the camera’s extraordinary responsiveness. The standard ISO range is 100-12800, expanded to ISO 64/80 for stills. The camera also takes advantage of improved filters to help achieve more realistic textures and color. Human skin tones and the vivid colors of flowers are more accurately reproduced.

4K HDR (HLG) video recording, S-Log support, and Interval Shooting

RX100 VII records 4K movies with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, with oversampling for high image quality. Extended continuous video recording is available when setting Auto Power OFF Temp. function to High. HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) compatibility enables HDR capture and immediate playback without post-production, by connecting the camera to an HDR (HLG) compatible Sony TV via a USB cable. The wide color space and dynamic range available using S-Log profiles provides more creative freedom in post-production. Interval Shooting is now available within the camera, with AE tracking to reduce exposure variations. The resulting still images can be edited into a time-lapse movie on a PC.

Microphone jack, vertical-position data recording, Super slow-motion up to 960fps

Though very compact, RX100 VII includes a standard 3.5mm microphone input jack enabling the use of high-end microphones for professional audio capture for movies and vlogs. The camera supports movie recording in vertical format with embedded metadata indicating the camera’s orientation. This means that movie clips in this format that are transferred to smartphones can be played back and used as is, without needing to rotate them from horizontal format.

Active mode image stabilization in 4K video recording, and Movie Edit add-on compatible

RX100 VII now supports “Active” mode image stabilization for 4K movies, combining optical and electronic stabilization methods for compensation up to eight times more effective than the standard mode. Intelligent Active mode with Full HD recording provides smoother stabilization even for shooting while walking. The Movie Edit add-on mobile app helps achieve smoothness similar to using a gimbal.

Retractable OLED w/ EVF benefits and optical viewfinder immediacy

The RX100 VII maintains the convenient pocket-sized design of the RX100 family and is equipped with a high-contrast 2.35 million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder electronic viewfinder, ensuring true-to-life image preview and playback functionality. With a single push, the EVF conveniently pops-up and automatically extends the eye-piece. It features optics with ZEISS T* coating that greatly reduces reflections.

High speed Anti-Distortion Shutter

The high speed – up to 1/32,000 sec. – Anti-Distortion Shutter, minimizes the “rolling shutter” effect commonly experienced with fast moving subjects. This blazingly fast shutter speed also allows the camera to capture sharp, crystal clear images with a wide open aperture at brightness levels. Shooting at wide aperture with fast shutter speed allows photographers and videographers to capture beautiful content with sharply focused subjects and defocused backgrounds under some of the most difficult, bright lighting conditions.

Super slow-motion movie HFR (High frame rate)

See the unseen with super speed HFR (High Frame Rate). The RX100 VII can capture super slow motion HFR movies at up to 40x slower than real time. You can choose from 960fps, 480fps or 240fps to playback in XAVC S at 1920 x 1080, in either 60p, 30p or 24p. Choose between “quality priority” (4 sec.). There’s also an option to set “start trigger” or “end trigger” which will start capturing the movie before or after you press the movie rec. button so you can time those split-second moments perfectly.

Selfie-ready multi-angle Xtra Fine LCD

Selfies have never been easier with a beautiful 3″ (921k dots) LCD Display that rotates in multiple angles. This also makes it easy to photograph over crowds or low to capture pets eye to eye by swinging up approx. 180° and down approx. 90°. The large display delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation. Monitor Auto OFF function boosts max number of still images by up to 30%.

Wi-Fi/NFC/QR code for easy file transfer and remote control

Easily connect with NFC or QR code (for non-NFC devices) to smartphones or tablets with the built-in Wi-Fi and Sony’s Imaging Edge Mobile application available for Android and iOS platforms. Control your camera or transfer files to your device for fast and easy sharing without the need of a computer. When you’re done, you can use the free software to sort and manage your stills and video with or view and edit your RAW file with either Sony’s Imaging Edge software or Capture One Express (for Sony).
