----------
Technology
----------
More room to zoom at will
-------------------------
Close-up shooting is seamless. No sw to macro mode is
needed. Zoom in all the way up to extreme telephoto on a subject
as near as 11 inches away. The built-in lens makes it more
convenient for you to take impressive s throughout a big
range.
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 Sonic wave Motor) stops lens movement
with spot-on precision. Far-reaching optical flexibility
minimizes mechanical dimensions. Precise alignment of the image
sensor and lens also perfectly combines diminutive form and
outsized performance.
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-inch 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.
New-generation image processing engine, BIONZ® X, leads a new
world
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The groundbreaking new BIONZ® X image processing engine not only
maximizes picture quality in ways that only a seamlessly unified
body and lens design can realize — 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.
Quick focusing even at telephoto range
--------------------------------------
High-speed AF is remarkably smooth thanks to the Direct Drive SSM
(Super Sonic wave Motor) with precision-engineered focusing stop
positions designed to minimize focusing lens travel distance,
which shortens focusing time.
Lock-on AF tracks with smart precision
--------------------------------------
Just press the shutter button halfway to activate2 Lock-on AF. It
precisely focuses even on moving subjects by continuously
adjusting target frame size based on its re of subject
characteristics. You can easily stay focused on the main action
because this object tracking innovation optimizes autofocus
timing. Even when a subject goes out of frame temporarily,
tracking resumes at the moment that it is recaptured after
re-entering the frame.
-------------------
Additional Features
-------------------
Open your outlook across a vast new range
-----------------------------------------
A large F2.8 maximum aperture throughout an expansive 24-200mm3
zoom range gives you ample rtunity 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 optimizes image quality consistently from edge
to edge.
Detail reproduction technology
------------------------------
By minimizing digital artifacts that tend to overemphasize hard
outlines and rough edges when pictures are reproduced, detail
reproduction technology makes images noticeably more lifelike,
clean and natural-looking in every detail, texture and dimension.
Diffraction-reducing technology
-------------------------------
This maintains outstanding clarity by applying
aperture-appropriate filter processing to suppress and compensate
for diffraction — a phenomenon that can otherwise limit
photographic resolution and cause points of light to appear
blurred, especially in images that have been using a small
aperture (large F-number) setting.
Improved area-specific noise reduction
--------------------------------------
Now, noise reduction is individually adjusted based on imaging
pattern variations, for superior clarity and finer details
throughout even images in low light.
Quick focusing even at telephoto range
--------------------------------------
High-speed AF is remarkably smooth thanks to the Direct Drive SSM
(Super Sonic wave Motor) with precision-engineered focusing stop
positions designed to minimize focusing lens travel distance,
which shortens focusing time.
More flexible focus area selection
----------------------------------
Choose among three concentric Flexible Spot frames for greater
focusing versatility and precision than other cameras'
fixed-focus spot frame systems can provide.
Lock-on AF tracks with smart precision
--------------------------------------
Just press the shutter button halfway to activate Lock-on AF. It
precisely focuses even on moving subjects by continuously
adjusting target frame size based on its re of subject
characteristics. You can easily stay focused on the main action
because this object tracking innovation optimizes autofocus
timing. Even when a subject goes out of frame temporarily,
tracking resumes at the moment that it is recaptured after
re-entering the frame.
New Eye AF on the soul of the subject
-------------------------------------
Applying advanced detection technology, this new Eye AF function
detects and focuses on a subject's eye, even if the subject is
facing or looking slightly away from the camera. Then, a blinking
green frame appears on that eye in the viewfinder image to
indicate the point of focus for the upcoming .
More functions broaden creative boundaries
------------------------------------------
An abundance of powerful higher-performance functions and options
are invaluable for capturing moving images of superior resolution
and stunning clarity with minimal noise, even while zooming on
the action. Plenty of connections make it easy to create an even
more versatile production system by hooking up the latest digital
, monitoring and processing devices to the camera.
Shoot for more in Full HD1
--------------------------
As Full High Definition (Full HD) movie has become a
standard of high-performance video and playback, Sony
advances better ways to take advantage of its potential.
Accordingly, the RX10 not only records Full HD movies1 in the
AVCHD Progressive, 1920 x 1080 format — it also lets you select
between 60p and 24p shooting modes, for supremely smooth-looking
or cinematically expressive movies, respectively. To maintain
clear, steady movie shooting results, take advantage of optical
image stabilization in Active mode to effectively reduce camera
shake.
Ensuring professional-caliber sound and more
--------------------------------------------
The RX10 has plenty of features to realize more of the potential
in your movies. To record sound with precision worthy of
professional production, connect a high-performance microphone
through an input terminal. Monitor pristine stereo sound through
premium-quality Sony headphones plugged into the headphone jack.
A built-in HDMI® output terminal also accommodates connection of
a TV, computer or DVD player/recorder. Audio metering and
level control are instrumental to keeping soundtracks
smooth and consistent. Use the camera's Multi Interface Shoe and
an optional XLR Adaptor Kit to hook up external , flash
and other accessories. It all adds up to a set of
professional-class capabilities that is unprecedented among all
other compact cameras.
For clean simultaneous signal output
------------------------------------
Clear, uncompressed digital movie signal output can be
transferred to an external monitor/recorder (connected via the
HDMI® terminal) simultaneously in real time from the RX10. The
shooting info display can be turned off for even cleaner views of
such movies on an external monitor/recorder.
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, approx. 33-degree view angle and maintain
excellent edge-to-edge visibility of the electronic viewfinder.
Customizing convenient command
