Sony RX10V High-Zoom Digital Compact Camera

The Sony RX10 V High-Zoom Digital Compact Camera combines a 20.1MP 1" stacked Exmor RS sensor with a versatile 24-600mm Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens, delivering sharp, detailed images and uncropped 4K60 video. Its AI-powered autofocus tracks a wide range of subjects, while 4K120 slow-motion and blackout-free 30 fps burst shooting make it ideal for fast action and cinematic video creation.

Sensor and Processing Power

The Sony RX10 V features a 20.1MP 1" Exmor RS backside-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor paired with the BIONZ XR processing engine and a dedicated AI chip. This combination enables fast readout speeds, low noise, and sharp detail, supporting advanced exposure and colour algorithms. It handles a wide ISO range from 64 to 12800, delivering accurate exposure even in challenging lighting conditions. The sensor's architecture allows continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second and supports 4K video recording at up to 120 fps with sensor crop for slow-motion capture.

Lens and Stabilisation

Equipped with a Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* zoom lens covering a 24-600mm equivalent focal length with a bright aperture range of f/2.4 to f/4, the RX10 V offers exceptional optical flexibility for various shooting scenarios. The lens construction includes eight extra-low dispersion glass elements and two precision aspherical elements to reduce aberrations and enhance bokeh quality. Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation is combined with a new gyro sensor and advanced digital stabilisation algorithms, forming a hybrid system that ensures sharp handheld images even at long telephoto distances.

Autofocus and AI Tracking

The camera’s autofocus system is powered by a dedicated deep-learning AI unit, enabling real-time recognition and tracking of subjects such as humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and aeroplanes. It performs up to 60 autofocus and auto-exposure calculations per second, maintaining sharp focus and exposure during fast action. Features include touch tracking on the LCD, real-time tracking with 575 phase-detection points covering over 70% of the frame, and AI-powered auto framing that keeps subjects centred during video recording.

Video Capabilities and Connectivity

The RX10 V supports uncropped UHD 4K video recording at 60 fps with 5.4K oversampling, as well as high-speed 4K 120 fps slow-motion capture with sensor crop. It offers 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording in All-Intra, XAVC S, and XAVC HS formats, alongside professional colour profiles like S-Cinetone and S-Log3 for flexible grading workflows. Connectivity options include USB-C with SuperSpeed 10 Gb/s transfer, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz), micro-HDMI output, and 3.5mm microphone and headphone jacks. The camera also supports 4K 30p live streaming via USB or network, making it suitable for fast turnaround production.
