Expanding the popular Cyber-shot
RX100 series of compact cameras, Sony India
The innovative new RX100 VI camera is the first of all
the RX100 models to include a high magnification zoom lens, as it packs in an
impressive ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm1 F2.8 – F4.5 lens yet doesn’t
sacrifice the pocket-size portability, fast responsiveness and high image
quality that has become the hallmark of Sony’s RX100 line-up. It’s
extensive zoom, impressive image quality and versatility for both still images
and video make it an ideal choice for capturing daily life, cityscapes,
portraiture, sports, wildlife and everything in between.
Maintains
compact body size of acclaimed RX100 series while adding a ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar
T* 24-200mm F2.8 – F4.5 Large Aperture High Magnification Zoom Lens
A first for Sony’s RX100 series of
cameras, the new ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mmi F2.8 – F4.5 lens
packs the power of both 24-70mm and 70-200mm focal lengths into a singular
compact design. This is achieved thanks to its unique design featuring two ED
(extra-low dispersion) aspherical glass elements and eight aspherical lens
elements including four AA (advanced aspherical) lenses. All pieces work
together seamlessly to deliver outstanding sharpness from corner-to-corner at
all focal lengths, maintaining the acclaimed image quality of the RX100 series.
The impressive new lens on
the RX100 VI is designed to maintain large aperture throughout
the entire zoom range, ensuring portraits can be created with beautiful
background defocus, fast moving subjects can be captured with crisp focus and
no blurring, and much more.
World’s Fastest 0.03 seconds AF speed combined with 315
focal-plane phase-detection AF points covering approximately 65% of frame
The new RX100 VI model features a
Fast Hybrid AF system that ultimately allows the camera to lock focus in as
little as 0.03 seconds. This innovative AF system combines the respective
advantages of 315-point focal-plane phase-detection AF points that cover
approximately 65% of the sensor and contrast-detection AF. This high speed
focusing complements the versatile 24-200mm range of the lens,
ensuring all subjects can be captured with precise detail and clarity.
High-precision
Eye AF, combined with high-performance AF tracking
A first for the RX100 series of
cameras, the RX100 VI includes Sony’s advanced High-density Tracking AF
technology, which concentrates AF points around a subject to improve tracking
and focus accuracy. The popular Eye AF technology is also available with approximately
2x the tracking performance of the current RX100 series model[6]. The camera features sophisticated
Eye AF system with excellent tracking performance as it accurately focuses on
your subject's eyes to facilitate better portrait shots.
Easy, natural Touch Focus and Touch Pad AF
Further, the camera has LCD touch
focusing and touchpad focus point control for users that would like to drag
their fingers to ideal focus points of their choice.The Touch Focus feature
allows you to set the focus simply by touching the monitor, while Touch Pad AF
lets you drag your finger to intuitively position the focus when you're using
the viewfinder. Just install a Play Memories Mobile app via Wi-Fi to an
NFC-enabled Android device, and then touch the device to the camera to connect
them. QR code compatibility allows connection with non-NFC smartphones.
High Resolution 4K Movie Shooting with
full pixel readout and no pixel binning plus 4K HDR for instant HDR workflow
Keeping up with the inspiration, the new RX100
VI is equipped with a variety of video capabilities to satisfy all the
demands of photo enthusiasts, enabling users to record every moment of their
experiences as it happens.
With Fast Hybrid AF, the focal-plane phase-detection
AF points ensures accurate focusing and tracking performance, even for the
severe focusing requirements of 4K movie shooting. AF drive speed and AF
tracking sensitivity can also be adjusted via the menu system, giving shooters
plenty of flexibility based on their focusing preferences.
In 4K mode, the new RX100
VI utilizes full pixel readout without pixel binning to ensure that
all the finer details of 4Kvii video are captured with minimal moire and
‘jaggies’.
For the first time in a Cyber-shot
camera, the RX100 VI features 4K HDR compatibility
thanks to its new HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture profile that offers an instant
HDR workflow solution. Additional professional calibre video features
include S-Log3/S-Gamut3, 120p Full HD mode, Picture Profile, proxy recording
and more. The RX100 VI is able to record super slow
motion video at 240 fps, 480 fps or 960 fps. Shooting at 200mm telephoto, it's
possible to record impressive close-up super slow motion footage. Shooting
frame rate and recording setting can be set independently for 4x to 40x super
slow motion footage.
An ideal complement to the AF system, the RX100
VI offers continuous high-speed shooting at up to 24 fps with
full AF/AE tracking, with an impressive buffer limit of up to 233
images. The display lag of the EVF has been substantially reduced
compared to prior models, allowing shooters to capture the decisive moment with
ultimate confidence. Also, for convenience during image playback, continuously
shot images can be displayed in groups instead of individual shots.
Excellent for capturing daily life
to sports and wildlife photography, the new RX100 VI also has
a high speed Anti-Distortion Shutter (maximum shutter speed of up to 1/32000
second) that reduces the “rolling shutter” effect commonly experienced with
fast moving subjects, and can shoot completely silently in all modes, including
continuous high speed shooting, when electronic shutter is engaged. A
mechanical shutter mode is also available as well if required by the user. You
can mute the camera's shutter sound in noise-sensitive settings, such as
gatherings in quiet restaurants/cafes/ church etc. The shutter sound can be
muted even during continuous shooting.
1.0-type
stacked 20.1 MP Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip and upgraded BIONZ
X™ image processor and Front-end LSI
The new model is equipped with a
20.1 MP 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip and an
upgraded BIONZ X™ image processing system with a front-end LSI that maximizes
processing speed and optimizes image quality in all shooting environments.
Additionally, the RX100 VI features an incredibly efficient
Fast Hybrid AF system with 315-point phase-detection AF points on the sensor
that can acquire focus in as little as 0.03 seconds, the world’s fastest AF
acquisition time for 1.0-type sensor cameras. It can also shoot at up to
24 fps[8] at full
resolution with continuous AF/AE tracking and produces beautiful 4K video with
full pixel readout and no pixel binning.
Employing a built-in Optical
SteadyShotTM image stabilization that is equivalent to a
4.0-stop faster shutter speed, the impressive new lens on the RX100 VI helps to
prevent camera shake or blurry images even in a low-light condition or at
telephoto zoom range.
Convenient
one-push access to the electronic viewfinder
Readily accessible at the touch of
a button, the retractable viewfinder is an approx. 2.35-million-dot resolution
organic electroluminescent display that provides both fine subject detail and
faithful tonal reproduction.
The
stacked CMOS sensor enables an extra-high frame rate of up to 960fps. Shooting
at 200mm telephoto, it's possible to record impressive close-up super slow
motion footage. Shooting frame rate and recording setting can be set
independently for 4x to 40x super slow motion footage.
Silent
Shooting
You can mute
the camera's shutter sound in noise-sensitive settings, such as gatherings in
quiet restaurants / cafes / church etc.. The shutter sound can be muted even
during continuous shooting.
One Touch Sharing
Just install
a Play Memories Mobile app via Wi-Fi to an NFC-enabled Android device, then
touch the device to the camera to connect them. QR code compatibility allows
connection with non-NFC smartphones.
RX100 VI will
be available across all Sony Center , Sony authorized dealers and major electronic
stores across India
