The RX100 V introduces the speedy, precise Fast Hybrid AF to the RX100 series for unrivalled 0.05-sec AF speed; high-speed continuous shooting at up to 24fps with AF/AE tracking for up to 233 shots 4K movie shooting, and super slow motion recording at up to 960fps.
2 hybrid AF system (contrast + phase)
The RX100 V brings a new level of AF performance and speed to compact cameras. It is equipped with a fast hybrid autofocus system that combines the respective advantages of focal-plane phase detection AF and contrast detection AF that ultimately enables the camera to lock focus in as fast as 0.05 seconds.
315 phase detection - AF points
High speed focusing is a perfect complement to the world’s highest number of dedicated focal plane phase detection AF points on a compact camera. The 315 AF points - that cover 65% of the RX100 V’s 1” sensor - ensure that shooters will be able to capture their intended subject with high speed and accuracy, even if it’s moving rapidly in unpredictable directions.
24fps Continuous Shooting with AF/AE tracking
Designed to allow for high resolution, continuous shooting at high frame rates. The RX100 V features a front-end LSI that works with the BIONZ X image processing engine and the 1" Exmor RS stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor with DRAM to enable some of the world’s fastest continuous shooting speeds for a compact camera at impressive 24fps with AF/AE tracking at full 20.12MP resolution.
20.1MP 1" Exmor RS stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor with DRAM
This large 1” (1.0-type) stacked back illuminated Exmor RS image sensor with DRAM chip not only enhances efficiency and speed of A/D conversion through its stacked structure with more circuit sections; it also realizes super-fast readout speed - thanks to a DRAM chip integrated into the sensor structure. Together with the BIONZ X processing engine and front-end LSI, it allows for stunning 20.1-megapixels at up to 24fps 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 low-light low-noise capability.
Bright f1.8-2.8 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens (24-70mm)
The RX100 V features a large aperture F1.8-2.8 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 24-70mm zoom (35mm equivalent). The lens is perfect for portraits and macro shots with beautiful defocused backgrounds (bokeh). Two aspherical lens elements are incorporated into the design to improve sharpness while the premium multi-layered T* coating also dramatically reduces ghost and flare caused by light reflection.
Retractable OLED w/ EVF benefits and optical viewfinder immediacy
The RX100 V maintains the convenient pocket-sized design of the remainder 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. The EVF conveniently retracts in and out of the camera body and features optics with ZEISS T* coating that greatly reduces reflections. It has the ability to deliver continuous live shooting at up to 8fps - making it easy to track fast moving subjects.
Advanced AF modes
The addition of AF-A mode, allows the RX100 V to automatically switch between continuous and single-shot AF modes. Users can also manually select if they’d like the continuous AF and Phase Detection AF areas to be displayed live on screen while they are framing a shot.
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 up to EV198. 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.
Comfortable control ring for manual operation
A unique control ring around the lens works in combination with an intuitive, display interface for meticulous SLR-type control over settings that satisfies even the most fastidious users. The control ring can be assigned to adjust various features (at various values) from basics like zooming and aperture to creative functions like Picture Effect. Moreover, it turns smoothly and seamlessly, allowing quiet, click-free usage while shooting movies including a new step-zoom function that enables instant selection of commonly used focal lengths.
