Now, it's easier to capture more stunning stills and movies at every opportunity. The new RX10 IV is much more than a solid, smart all-in-one compact--it packs enough groundbreaking innovations for even professionals to marvel at, from this ultra-fast AF system of its kind, to legendary optics throughout its 25x zoom range, to extraordinarily precise, powerful image processing, and more.
The RX10 IV's AF systems heighten response, accuracy, and range for more controllably precise, tenacious focus on your subject, however quickly the scene's action unfolds.
World-leading 0.03-s AF speed is made possible by the 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS image sensor that provides for fast, accurate autofocusing at all times.
315 phase-detection AF points cover approx. 65% of the image area to provide widespread autofocus coverage of subjects that appear in the frame.
With High-density Tracking AF Technology, focus reliably stays on moving subjects and activates AF points to cover the area around the subject.
The exemplary RX10 IV puts more intuitive, versatile control of focus right at your fingertips.
Slide your finger to shift focus. It's handy while monitoring the viewfinder.
Simply touch the LCD screen to focus on the chosen subject.
Touch operation and other autofocus innovations take optimal advantage of the Fast Hybrid AF system's superior speed, accuracy and versatility for location shooting, continuous shooting, and ultra-telephoto shooting.
This allows for more rapid focusing according to distance from subjects.
Automatically switches between Single AF and Continuous AF tracking, whichever is optimal.
This lets you capture moments instantly without a half-press focus sequence.
Consistently capture decisive moments of even fast-moving action. The RX10 IV features a high-speed front-end LSI and the vast power of the BIONZ X image processing engine to enable continuous shooting, even with AF/AE tracking, at up to approx. 24fps for up to 249 frames at a time.
Even images shot continuously at 24fps look extraordinarily smooth and rich as you monitor them on the electronic viewfinder that keeps display lag to an absolute minimum during shooting.
Record live performances, wildlife, and action without being distracting, by setting the electronic shutter for silent shooting. Up to 1/32,000-s fast, this shutter also minimizes image distortion.
Sony packs the RX10 IV with extraordinary large aperture lenses, a state-of-the-art BIONZ X processor ensuring high resolution out to the images' edges, capability to shoot dazzling bokeh and steady close-ups, and much more. The quality of every still and movie image, even shot at top speed, is as clearly superior as all the innovation that this brilliant Cyber-shot contains.
The built-in ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T 24-600 mm F2.4-4 high magnification zoom lens achieves excellent contrast and sharpness in every shot, throughout an extreme wide-angle to ultra-telephoto range.
The BIONZ X image processor's advanced algorithm improves image quality by enhancing resolution, minimizing noise, and depicting reality in all its variety and subtlety.
Fast Hybrid AF makes autofocus more speedy and accurate, while 4K movie (QFHD: 3,840 x 2,160) recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning ensures footage with resolution high enough to satisfy professionals.
Focusing, monitoring, setting adjustments and other essential functions not only feel natural to handle at all times--they're designed to accommodate professional-style applications as well.
Imaging Edge software suite can maximize image quality, improve production efficiency. "Remote" to remotely control shooting; "Edit" to develop RAW data into high-quality photos; and "Viewer" to view, rate and select photos.
Capture One Express (for Sony) is a free award-winning editing software that provides RAW development, easy management and powerful editing tools. Capture One Pro (for Sony) can be bought for even more editing tools and tethered shooting capability.
