Key Features
High Magnication 24-200mm ZEISS lens
The RX100 VI features a new high magnication 24-200mm1 F2.8 – F4.5 ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens
that packs the power of both 24-70mm and 70-200mm1 lens 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
that work together seamlessly to deliver outstanding sharpness and image quality, from cornerto-corner at all focal lengths. The wide aperture throughout the zoom range delivers beautiful
background defocus while the Optical SteadyShotTM image stabilization signicantly reduces
blurring.
World’s fastest2 hybrid AF system
The RX100 VI brings a new level of AF performance and speed to compact cameras. It’s
equipped with the world’s fastest2 hybrid autofocus system that combines the respective
advantages of focal-plane phase detection AF and contrast detection AF - ultimately enabling
the camera to lock focus in as fast as 0.03 seconds3.
Wide coverage 315 phase detection AF points
High speed focusing is a perfect complement to the dedicated 315 phase-detection AF points
that covers approx. 65% of the image area of the sensor. With such wide-area high-density
autofocus coverage, you can accurately focus on and capture your intended subject at high
speed, even if it’s moving rapidly in unpredictable directions.
High-density Tracking AF Technology
The RX100 VI employs Sony’s high-density tracking AF technology to ensure accurate, stable
tracking performance throughout the 24-200mm1 range of the lens. This advanced technology
leverages the benets of focal-plane phase-detection sensors to concentrate AF points in a
dense pattern around the subject location as its moving to keep subjects in continuous clear
focus – even at high speeds.
High-speed continuous shooting at 24fps4 with AF/AE tracking
Designed to allow for high resolution, continuous shooting at high frame rates the RX100 VI
features a 1” Exmor RS® stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor w/ DRAM and front-end LSI
that works with the BIONZ X® image processing engine to enable continuous shooting speed at
impressive 24fps4 with AF/AE tracking at full 20.12MP resolution. Thanks to a large buer, the RX100
VI can capture up to 233 images5 at this high speed which can be viewed immediately aer
shooting. Viewnder blackout between shots has been minimized in this high-speed shooting
mode, which greatly improves the ability to follow fast action and capture the decisive moment.
1” (1.0-type) 20.1MP Exmor RS® stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor w/ DRAM
Page 2
This large 1” (1.0-type) stacked back illuminated Exmor RS® image sensor with DRAM chip not
only enhances eciency and speed of A/D conversion through its stacked structure and more
circuit sections; it also realizes super-fast readout speed. Together with the new BIONZ X™ image
processing engine, it allows for stunning 20.1-megapixels at up to 24fps3 continuous shooting,
blazingly fast shutter speed of up to 1/32000 sec., breathtaking 4k movie and super slow-motion
HFR (High Frame Rate) movie clip recording of up to 960fps (40x), not to mention remarkable lowlight capability with a wide sensitivity range (ISO 80-12,800)6 with reduced noise.
Clip-4K movie7 w/ direct pixel readout, no pixel binning
The pocket-size RX100 VI features Clip 4K for short - up to 5 minute - 4K (QFHD:3840×2160) movie
recording directly to SD memory card7 - ideal for everyday casual use. High quality 4k is achieved
by the 1” Exmor RS® CMOS sensor with full pixel readout and no pixel binning - resulting in images
that exhibit higher resolution and less moire and jaggies than typical 4K movies. Moreover, the
XAVC S™ format is incorporated to maximize high-bitrate shooting up to 100 Mbps for professional
quality video. The focal plane phase detection AF system allows for fast hybrid AF during
video and 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 providing exibility for focusing preferences.
Optical SteadyShot™ Image stabilization
Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization technology - developed exclusively by Sony pre-vents image blurring that can occur from hand-held still and movie shooting, especially in
low light or at the far telephoto end of the zoom range. Image stabilization is equivalent to a
faster shutter speed of 4.0 stops8 at 200mm1 telephoto, and ensures smooth, stable framing and
excellent image quality.
Touch Focus and Touch Pad AF
Fast, simple, intuitive AF: With the Touch Focus function. Simply touch the LCD screen at the
point in the image where you want to focus when you’re shooting stills or movies. When you’re
monitoring with the viewnder, the Touch Pad function lets you slide a nger on the LCD screen to
shi focus. You can also set preferences according to which eye and hand you want to use and
how far to reach your nger.
Touch Shutter on tiltable LCD monitor
For the rst time in the RX series, the LCD monitor now incorporates the Touch Shutter, which
allows you to intuitively activate the shutter simply by touching a point on the monitor. This makes
it easier to shoot a scene when it might otherwise be dicult to press the shutter button, such as
when shooting from high or low angles.
The tilt angle of the monitor has also been expanded, so you can tilt the monitor roughly 180°
upwards and 90° downwards, to enable monitoring of the subject for seles or even when you’re
holding the camera high overhead above a crowd.
Retractable OLED w/ EVF benets and optical viewnder immediacy
The new RX100 VI 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 viewnder,
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 reections. It has the ability to deliver continuous live shooting
at up to 8fps - making it easy to track fast moving subjects. This oers photographers a shooting
experience with the immediacy of an optical viewnder, while still oering all of the benets of
an electronic viewnder including a live preview of exposure, white balance and several other
camera settings.
Advanced Eye AF ideal for portrait shots
The Eye AF function has excellent tracking performance and a high degree of accuracy and
stability as it automatically focuses on a subject’s eyes, even when the subject is looking down or
away from the camera, or is in backlit scenes when the face of the subject is in partial darkness.
High speed Anti-Distortion Shutter
Page 3
The high speed – up to 1/32,000 sec. - Anti-Distortion Shutter, minimizes the “rolling shutter” eect
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 dicult, bright lighting conditions.
Enhanced pro-video functions and NTSC/ PAL switchable
The RX100 VI includes professional movie functions such as; Picture Prole, S S-Log3/S-Gamut3,
TC/UB (time code / user bit), Rec Control, Dual Video Recording, marker display function, etc.
that have typically been available only in professional video cameras. You also have the choice
of region setting between NTSC and PAL movie frame rates.
4K HDR10 using HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma)
The RX100 VI features 4K HDR10 thanks to its new HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) picture prole which
supports an instant HDR workow. Movies recorded in HDR (HLG) played back on a compatible
TV will appear true-to-life, with fewer blocked shadows or blown highlights, without the need for
color grading. The BT.2020 color space is supported, providing a wider color gamut. Four gamma
settings are provided (HLG, HLG1, HLG2, HLG3). The HLG setting conforms to ITU-R BT.2100. The
HLG1, HLG2, and HLG3 gamma settings provide wider dynamic range while retaining the overall
appearance of current cameras. The balance of dynamic range and noise produced by each
setting is dierent, allowing selection to best match the scene being recorded.
Super slow-motion movie9 HFR (High frame rate)
See the unseen with super speed HFR (High Frame Rate). The RX100 VI can capture super slow
motion HFR movie9 at up to 40x slower than real time. You can chose from 960fps, 480fps or
240fps to playback in XAVC S at 1920 x 1080, in either 60p, 30p or 24p7. Choose between “quality
priority” (4 sec.). There’s also an option to set “start trigger” or “end trigger” which will start
capturing movie before or aer you press the movie rec. button so you can time those splitsecond moments perfectly.
HDMI® clear output for uncompressed video recordings
Clean, uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 4K or HD movie signal can be transferred to an external
monitor/recorder connected to the RX100 VI via the HDMI® terminal. Video can be recorded
simultaneously to internal media and uncompressed video to the external recorder in real time.
