Sony Indiagives a new
definition to brilliance, versatility and performance with introduction of two of its most advanced Cyber-shot™ cameras under
the much-acclaimed RX series, the compact RX100 IV and high-zoom RX10 II
cameras. With this launch, Sony moves a step further to provide
photographers with uncompromising image quality.
The two new models feature the world’s first 1.0
type stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor[1]with
advanced signal processing and an attached DRAM memory chip. The high speed
signal processing and DRAM memory chip work together to enable more than five
times the readout rate of image data[2]
and are responsible for a variety of standout features that have previously
been available only in selected professional-level video cameras. These
impressive capabilities include 40 times super slow motion video capture at up
to 960fps[3],
an ultra-fast Anti-Distortion Shutter with a maximum speed of 1/32000 second,
high-resolution 4K movie shooting[4]
and more.
Up
to 40x Super Slow Motion Shooting
A first for Sony consumer cameras, the spectacular
RX100 IV and RX10 II have the ability to record super slow-motion videos of up
to 40x slower than the standard rate, allowing users to capture and replay
fleeting moments of action with incredible detail, resolution and clarity.
Prior to shooting, users will have the ability to
choose among 960/1000fps, 480/500fps and 240/250fps frame rates and among
60p/50p, 30p/25p and 24p playback formats4 to optimise the recording
to fit the speed of the moving subject. They also have the option to use the
movie record button as a ‘start trigger’ to begin recording once the button is
pressed, or ‘end trigger’ to record footage up until the button is pressed. The
‘end trigger’ mode lets shooting begin two to four seconds[5]
before the movie button is pressed, enabling shooters to capture the decisive
moment with much more consistency and accuracy.
High
Speed Shutter, High Speed Shooting
The impressive speed and power of the 1.0 type
stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor with an attached DRAM chip allows the new RX100
IV and RX10 II to perform exceptionally well while capturing fast-moving
subjects. In particular, its fast processing capability results in continuous
speeds of up to 16fps on the RX100 IV, and up to 14fps on the RX10 II for an
extended period of time.
Additionally, the ultra-fast readout of the image
sensor is responsible for the high speed Anti-Distortion Shutter (maximum speed
of 1/32000 second), which allows the new cameras to capture sharp, crystal
clear images with a wide open aperture at brightness levels up to EV19[6]. It also minimises the “rolling shutter”
effect commonly experienced with fast moving subjects. This allows photographers and videographers
to capture beautiful content with sharply focused subjects and defocused
backgrounds under some of the most difficult, bright lighting conditions.
High
Precision Direct 4K Movie Recording
The new RX100 IV and RX10 II models are the first
Cyber-shot™ cameras to offer the advantages of 4K (QFHD 3840x2160) movie
recording5. The cameras utilise full pixel readout without pixel binning
to ensure that all the finer details of 4K video are captured with minimal
moire and ‘jaggies’. These high-quality results are achieved through the use of
the XAVC S codec, which records video at a high data rate of 100Mbps during 4K
recording and 50Mbps during full HD shooting5.
The capacity for shooting 4K differs slightly on
each of the two cameras, as the more professionally-styled RX10 II can shoot 4K
videos at extended lengths of up to 29 minutes, while the more casual,
pocket-friendly RX100 IV can shoot 4K clips of up to approximately 5 minutes in
length. Furthermore, professional caliber video features on both of the new
cameras include Picture Profile, S-Log2/S-Gamut, and more.
Both cameras also have advanced dual video recording
functionality, allowing shooters to capture 16.8-megapixel still images during
4K video recording in any of 11 different composition patterns, simply by
pressing the shutter button.
Versatility
in Design, High Speed AF
The new RX100 IV maintains the compact, pocket-sized
design of the RX100 family, and has a ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-70mm (35mm
equivalent) F1.8-F2.8 lens, while the new RX10 II has the same body design as
the original RX10 and feature a ZEISS®
Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm (35mm equivalent) F2.8 lens. RX100 IV enhances
the photography experience with its 180- degree tiltable LCD which allows composing
more unusual angles with the camera.
Each of the cameras is equipped with a new
high-contrast XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ with approximately 2.35 million dots of
resolution, ensuring true-to-life image preview and playback functionality. The
RX100 IV continues to have the convenient retractable EVF with ZEISS® T*
coating from the RX100 III model that debuted last year.
Both of the new models feature an upgraded Fast
Intelligent AF system that enables high-speed, high-precision contrast
detection of a moving subject in as little as 0.09 seconds[7]. Sony’s proprietary AF algorithm allows them
to recognise and lock-in on a subject with a simple half-press of the shutter
button at a much more efficient rate compared to previous models. The new
cameras also have Wi-Fi and NFC compatibility and the ability to access Sony’s
growing range of PlayMemories Camera Applications. More information can be
found here: www.sony.net/pmca.
Aesthetically, both models feature a variety of
customisable controls and buttons to fit the style of any shooters. The RX10 II
further adds dust and moisture resistance.
With the power of the world’s first 1.0-type Stacked
CMOS sensor packed into a compact, portable body, these new cameras bring the
excitement and creativity of high frame rate shooting, 4K recording and a
variety of other pro-quality features to a whole new audience.
