1.0 Type Exmor R CMOS

Superior sensitivity makes a clear difference
Containing back-illuminated technology and approximately 4x larger light-sensitive area that other compact DSC (digital still cameras) can’t match, Sony’s 20.2 megapixel 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor harnesses light and reduces image noise very efficiently. This, along with high settings of a wide ISO range, allow even photos of dimly lit scenes to look incredibly clear.

Sony is the world’s No. 1 manufacturer of image sensors for digital cameras and video recorders (based on Sony research from April 2012 to March 2013 that shows Sony has a 50% market share).

24-200mm Zoom

Express your perspective
The impeccable Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens optimises image quality consistently from edge to edge. It provides a large F2.8 maximum aperture throughout an expansive 24-200 mm zoom range, lets you shoot close-ups without switching to macro mode and features an advanced aspherical (AA) lens element that maintains high resolution to the edges of your image.

Carl Zeiss

Open your outlook across a vast new range
A large F2.8 maximum aperture throughout an expansive 24-200 mm* zoom range gives you ample opportunity to express your vision. Make a subject stand out—manipulate depth of field to defocus backgrounds for creative effect, as great photographers do. The impeccable Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens’ advanced, compact fixed-lens design optimises image quality consistently from edge to edge.

More Capability Now More Compact
An advanced aspherical lens (AA lens) reduces diameter and length and maintains high resolution even at image edges. A new Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonicwave Motor) stops lens movement with spot-on precision. Far-reaching optical flexibility minimises mechanical dimensions. Precise alignment of the image sensor and lens also perfectly combines diminutive form and outsized performance.

BIONZ X Image Processing Engine

New-generation image processing engine, BIONZ X, leads a new world
The groundbreaking new BIONZ X image processing engine not only maximises picture quality in ways that only a seamlessly unified body and lens design can realise — it also faithfully reproduces textures and details in real time, as seen by the naked eye, with peerless high-speed processing. The experience of shooting and viewing stills and movies expands your senses by depicting true realism with richer tonal gradations and lower image noise than was previously possible. With such a high magnitude of power ready for every situation, BIONZ X naturally leads toward better ways to witness the world in full glory.

High Speed Contrast AF

Quick focusing even at telephoto range
High-speed AF is remarkably smooth thanks to the Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonicwave Motor) with precision-engineered focusing stop positions designed to minimise focusing lens travel distance, which shortens focusing time.

For a truer view of every scene
See spectacular clarity, contrast and detail in every scene, regardless of conditions, on the built-in, bright, high-resolution OLED Tru-Finder™. Four dual-sided aspherical lenses provide a big view angle and maintain excellent edge-to-edge visibility of the electronic viewfinder.

Thoughtfully designed for effortless operation
The manual ring gives you direct control of certain settings, zooming and focusing, according to the focus mode in use. In addition, before turning the aperture ring to set F-stop, you can turn Aperture Click Switch on for a stepwise feel of assurance, or off for a quiet, smooth feel when setting the aperture.

Strong and light enough for anything
Magnesium alloy top and front casings make the RX10 light, solid and robust enough for long, rigorous use by advanced photographers and videographers. The camera’s dust- and moisture-resistant design even allows shooting in rugged outdoor environments.

Ready for more attachments
Attach on- and off-camera flash units and other external accessories via the Multi Terminal on the RX10 to creatively expand the capabilities of your camera-based system.

A flexible rear view covers many angles
An approximately 1,229 K-dot tiltable 3.0-type White Magic™ LCD lets you shoot comfortably from various positions. The display has the flexibility to be tilted within a range of angles extending from about 84 degrees upward to about 43 degrees downward.

Easier contact with smartphones and tablets
Just download the free PlayMemories Mobile app, then instantly connect via Wi-Fi or NFC (near field communication)* by touching a compatible Android™ smartphone or tablet to the camera.

Shoot for more in Full HD
Sony brings out the full potential of full high definition (Full HD) video recording. Movies are recorded in the AVCHD Progressive format (1920 x 1080) at your choice of 60 p, for supremely smooth-looking playback, or 24 p for more cinematic expression.

For clean signal output
Clear, uncompressed digital video signal output can be transferred to an external monitor/recorder (connected via the HDMI terminal) simultaneously in real time from the RX10.

Multi Frame NR with ISO125 – 25600 sensitivity range
Generates a single image with reduced noise by setting shutter speed, aperture and ISO sensitivity to designate exposure value.

Auto HDR
Auto HDR creates images that depict high contrast to match natural visual experience more closely.

D-Range Optimiser (DRO)
This adds details to bright highlights as well as dark shadows, and is good for shooting moving subjects.

Amplifying atmosphere and artistry
Picture Effect has 13 modes and Creative Style has 14 for adding touches of atmosphere and fun to images in-camera.

TRILUMINOS™ Color

A breathtaking way to relive your fondest memories
The RX10 supports Sony TRILUMINOS Color for viewing photos*in rich, natural colours on a TRILUMINOS Display. It can also be connected directly to a 4 K monitor via HDMI cable or Wi-Fi, then play back the 4 K stills for TV viewing.

PlayMemories Home™
This free, easy-to-use image management software can be installed on Windows and Mac computers, for downloading photos and movies which can then be viewed, organised, edited, retouched*, printed, burned to disc, shared or uploaded to social networking websites.

PlayMemories Studio™
Turn your PlayStation©3 into a creative playground. Use familiar controllers to edit, organise, view and share photos and movies. PlayMemories Studio also plays photo slideshows with sound.
