Stunning, high-resolution image quality, from wide-angle to telephoto

Every aspect and component of the RX100 VI has been skillfully engineered to work in tandem to achieve unrivalled image quality. Cleverly designed optics pack incredible power in a small footprint, while optical image stabilisation maintains a steady image even with handheld shots at the telephoto end of the zoom range. And the advanced image processing engine delivers better-perceived image resolution with low noise.

Sophisticated, high-performance optics

The newly designed ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm[1] f/2.8-4.5 lens

The new lens system is effectively configured to achieve maximum resolution and clarity across the entire zoom range while correcting for spherical, coma and chromatic aberrations. It brings a truly remarkable telephoto capability to a pocket-size package, to vastly expand your range of creative expression.

Wide zoom range in a compact body

The lens optics (15 elements in 12 groups) provide uncompromising high-quality images over a broad zoom range despite the compact configuration.

High-resolution optics

Lens elements including four AA (advanced aspherical) lenses and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements work together to achieve superb resolution right out to the periphery of the image, throughout the telephoto range.

Large aperture

Large apertures across the zoom range enable rapid shutter speeds and large amounts of bokeh. Even in the mid-telephoto range, the camera maintains apertures of f/4 at 100mm* and f/4.5 at 200mm*.

Optical SteadyShot™

Advanced image stabilisation is equivalent to 4.0-stop[1] faster shutter speed

Sony is justifiably proud of its sophisticated image stabilisation system, and now we've improved it even further, providing a degree of stabilisation equivalent to raising the shutter speed 4.0 stops[2] at the 200mm[1] telephoto end. Capture high-quality images even at long range and in low light, with a reliably steady handheld shooting.

High-performance 1.0-type stacked CMOS sensor

The 1.0-type CMOS sensor employs an innovative stacked structure to boost processing speed, while its back-illumination technology increases light collection efficiency to achieve a wide sensitivity range (ISO 803-12800) with reduced noise.

The BIONZ X™ advanced image-processing engine contributes to image quality 

Advances in the BIONZ X processing algorithm contribute to higher perceived resolution and low noise levels as well as more accurate face and eye detection. Improved image-processor speed also enables faster AF/AE detection.

Fast, tenacious AF

Fast Hybrid AF system achieves the speediest[4] autofocus in its class, at 0.03 sec[5]

Remarkably rapid autofocus that's the top of its class[4] is achieved by combining focal-plane phase-detection AF, with its fast speed and excellent tracking capabilities, and contrast-detection AF, with its high degree of accuracy.

Broad coverage from a 315-point wide-area phase-detection AF coverage

The 315 focal plane phase-detection AF points cover approx. 65% of the image area, and their wide area and high-density configuration mean that even distant, small and fast-moving subjects - often difficult to focus on - can be captured to the edge of the image.

1. Phase-detection AF coverage (315 points)
2. Contrast-detection AF coverage (25 points) 

Tenacious autofocus holds onto fast-moving subjects

When your subject is moving quickly and changing direction, the High-density Tracking AF Technology keeps up with the action, densely concentrating AF points around the subject's location.

Advanced Eye AF, ideal for portrait shots

The sophisticated Eye AF system has excellent tracking performance as it accurately focuses on your subject's eyes to facilitate better portrait shots.

Touch focus features make shifting focus intuitive

The Touch Focus feature allows you to set the focus simply by touching the monitor, while Touch Pad AF lets you drag your finger to intuitively position the focus when you're using the viewfinder.

Capture every moment, at 24 fps[6], with AF/AE tracking

Reliable continuous shooting of fast-moving subjects

When you want to reliably catch every moment of non-stop action, the continuous shooting feature captures up to 24 frames per second6 and up to 233 continuous shots[7].

Quality 4K movies[8] with enhanced production versatility

The first HDR (HLG) support[9] among Cyber-shot™ cameras

HDR (High Dynamic Range) video, with its wider range of colour and brightness, is now ready to enjoy without extra processing thanks to HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) recording capability[9].

Fast Hybrid AF makes better movies too

Fast Hybrid AF makes full use of wide-area phase-detection AF coverage -- in movies as well as still shots -- for smooth, fast autofocus. You can also adjust AF speed settings to add creative touches such as slow-focus effects.

S-Gamut and S-Log3 shooting give you greater flexibility in post-production

S-Log2 and S-Log3 gamma curves capture wider ranges of brightness and colour, giving you the creative freedom to perform colour grading in post-production while minimising blown highlights.

A high level of usability

Convenient one-push access to the electronic viewfinder

Readily accessible at the touch of a button, the retractable viewfinder is an approx. 2.35-million-dot resolution organic electroluminescent display that provides both fine subject detail and faithful tonal reproduction.

Touch Shutter compatible tiltable LCD monitor

The Touch Shutter is an intuitive alternative to pressing the shutter button, and it may be easier to reach in some situations, depending on how the camera is held. You can tilt the monitor roughly 180°upwards and 90°downwards.
