Product Description
RX100 VII Compact Camera, Unrivalled AF
The RX100 VII adds powerful new focusing and burst shooting capabilities to
the wide zoom range and exceptional image quality of the RX100 series. A new mic
input, 4K HDR (HLG) video and tilting touch screen make it an equally great
choice for video work and vlogging.
Broad zoom range and superior speed performance
Inside its compact body the RX100 VII is packed with everything it takes to
deliver gorgeous images. The 24"200 mm zoom lens is complemented by 0.02-sec.
super fast AF, new Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF, plus enhanced image
stabilization and an external microphone jack for high-quality movie shooting.
Broad zoom
capability in a compact body
The high-magnification 24"200 mm zoom lens delivers superb image quality.
Engineered to achieve maximum resolution and clarity across the entire zoom
range, it brings remarkable telephoto capability to a pocket-size package,
vastly expanding your options for creative expression.
Pocketful
of lenses
The ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T 24"200 mm F2.8-4.5 zoom lens covers a broad span of
zoom ranges equivalent to two standard zoom lenses (24"70 mm and 70"200 mm), all
in a very compact configuration.
High-resolution optics
The camera's lens elements include four AA (advanced aspherical) lenses and two
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements. These work together to achieve superb
resolution right out to the periphery of the image and throughout the telephoto
range.
A new
image sensor designed for speed
The newly developed, 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor and the latest BIONZ X
image-processing engine open new dimensions in speed and image quality.
Fast,
20fps continuous shooting with highly accurate AF/AE tracking
The fast 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're moving erratically or at high speed.
Blackout-free Shooting to keep you on track
Blackout-free Shooting lets you track your subject's movement without
interruption on the camera's LCD display or viewfinder screen, with display
updates performed at 60fps to minimize time lag.
New Single
Burst Shooting function
The newly developed Single Burst Shooting function will capture even very
fast-moving action, such as the precise instant a tennis racket hits the ball,
taking seven shots in rapid succession with selectable speeds of 90fps, 60fps or
30fps. It allows you to capture decisive moments that might otherwise be very
difficult and it can be used with the self-timer. Both JPEG and RAW image
formats are supported.
Broad AF
coverage and fast AF speed
The RX100 VII features a category-leading total of 357 focal-plane
phase-detection AF points, covering a total of 68% of the frame. These are
complemented by 425 contrast-detection AF points, and AF acquisition is achieved
in just 0.02 seconds, the world's fastest speed.
Real-time Tracking for moving subjects
Real-time Tracking uses subject-recognition algorithms (AI) that draw on color,
pattern (brightness), subject distance (depth) and face/eye information to track
your subjects wherever they move. Maintaining a constant, steady focus on a
moving subject helps you capture every important moment of action as it happens,
whether you're taking stills or movies.
Real-time
Eye AF for both stills and movies
Sony's advanced eye-detection and tracking performance are the secret
ingredients for beautiful portraits. Real-time Eye AF detects human eyes and
maintains focus as the subject moves, leaving you free to compose your shot.
It's even possible to focus on either the left or the right eye of your subject.
Real-time
Eye AF for Animals
Real-time Eye AF is available for animals as well as people. Great portrait
shots of pets are easier than ever.
High
resolution and exceptional low-light shooting
The large 1.0-type image sensor has a resolution of 20.1 megapixels, with
back-illuminated technology and an improved standard ISO range of 100-12800.
High levels of perceived image resolution and low noise contribute to superb
image quality with realistic-looking textures.
Excellent
color and texture reproduction
The newly developed image sensor, and the camera's image-processing algorithms,
achieve more realistic textures and colors. In particular, human skin tones look
natural, while the vivid colors of flowers are more accurately reproduced.
Optical
image stabilization for steadier still shots
Capture high-quality images with compensation for handheld camera shake, even in
dim lighting and at telephoto range. The image-stabilization algorithm delivers
a level of stabilization equivalent to a 4.0-stop faster shutter speed at 200
mm.
Anti-distortion electronic shutter with silent shooting
The RX100 VII achieves shutter speeds of up to 1/32000 sec., while the sensor's
fast readout helps suppress the rolling-shutter effect that can occur when
photographing quickly moving subjects. Silent shooting is also possible.
Soft Skin
Effect and other effects
The Soft Skin Effect reduces facial wrinkles and skin dullness, for better
portraits. Creative Style and Picture Effect options let you make fine
adjustments to capture distinctive images.
High-resolution 4K HDR (HLG) recording and stable AF
The camera supports internal 4K (QFHD:38402160) movie recording with full pixel
readout and no pixel binning. Smooth, stable AF is the result of enhanced AF
algorithms, and Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF (human) are also now
available for movies. With HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) capability you can enjoy HDR
images simply by connecting the camera to an HDR (HLG) compatible Sony TV via a
USB cable.
Advanced
features for creators and vloggers
Step up your vlogging with the go-anywhere RX100 VII. New Touch Tracking for
movies gives you fast, easy autofocus you can rely on, while Real-time Eye AF
(human) ensures precise focus. Even when you're walking, image stabilization
"Active" mode produces smooth 4K video and, with a tilting selfie screen and
external mic input, both framing and audio are stress-free.
External
mic input, for higher-quality sound
Despite its compact size, the RX100 VII includes a microphone input. Highly
appreciated by vloggers and professionals alike, the standard 3.5-mm input
enables professional audio capture for all your movies and vlogs.
Enhanced
image stabilization during 4K movie recording
Capture smooth 4K video even while walking with newly supported "Active" mode
image stabilization. And for even smoother, gimbal-like stabilization, simple
movie editing is available in the Imaging Edge Movie Edit add-on app.
Vertical
movie recording with metadata, for smartphone viewing
Movies shot with the camera held vertically can now be viewed in the same
orientation on PCs and smartphones thanks to metadata added by the camera.
S-Log
support for enhanced creative expression
The RX100 VII supports S-Log3 and S-Log2 Picture Profiles. Whether you need high
dynamic range and wide color space images for post-production or a unique look
right out of the camera, the RX100 VII has you covered.
Interval
Shooting for time-lapse movies
The Interval Shooting function performs continuous shooting with a set interval
of 1 to 60 seconds with AE tracking. The resulting time-lapse images can be
previewed on the camera or assembled into a movie on your PC.
One-push
Access electronic viewfinder
The XGA OLED Tru-Finder has a resolution of approx. 2.35 million dots for
bright, detailed and high-contrast viewing. It can be accessed quickly using the
pop-up switch and retracted just as quickly when not in use.
Tiltable
display monitor for convenient framing
The high-resolution, 921k-dot 3.0-type LCD monitor tilts upward by 180 and
downward by around 90, making it easy to frame selfie shots or shoot from high
and low angles.
Touch
operation for smooth shooting
Simply tap the screen to initiate Real-time Tracking for either stills or
movies. Touch Focus, Touch Pad and Touch Shutter are also available.
Easy data
management
Still images can be rated or protected from deletion in playback mode, with
optional custom-key assignment for these functions. Continuously shot images can
be displayed in the groups in which they were shot and groups can be deleted or
protected with one operation.
Customization functions
Camera functions that are activated from the Fn buttons can now have separate
assignments for still and movie shooting. Frequently used functions and menu
items can be easily and comfortably accessed when they're assigned using the My
Menu and My Dial features.
