20.2 MP (effective) 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor

20.2 MP (effective) 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor

The world’s first 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip enables up to 40x super slow motion and up to 1/32000 super-high-speed shutter beyond human perception. The extended circuit features higher signal processing capacity and more than five times faster high-speed readout than conventional models.

BIONZ X™ for superior detail and texture

BIONZ X™ for superior detail and texture

Digital cameras convert light captured by their sensor into digital images. Since the engine that powers conversion is as important as your lens and sensor, the RX10 II features the high-speed BIONZ X processor for more natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal gradations, and lower noise while shooting photos and movies.

Bright ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* F2.8 zoom lens

Bright ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* F2.8 zoom lens

ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* zoom lens provides a constant F2.8 large aperture throughout the 24–200mm zooming range. Composed of 7 aspherical elements, this lens captures awesome close-ups and transforms movies and stills into works of art. Pro-style Manual Ring works as a zoom and aperture controller (with click sound on/off for silent operation), etc.

Direct 4K movie recording   via camera alone

Direct 4K movie recording via camera alone

The RX10 II can record high-precision 4K movie data directly on a memory card inserted into the body while suppressing moiré and jaggies. A front-end LSI that handles mass volume data through full pixel readout at higher speed lets the camera suppress image distortion of moving subjects due to the rolling shutter phenomenon.

Super slow motion  at maximum of 40x

Super slow motion at maximum of 40x

Using the mode dial to select HFR, it’s easy to create super slow motion movies containing split-second moments of action. Choose shooting frame rates of 960/1000fps, 480/500fps, or 240/250fps (NTSC/PAL), for the speed of a moving subject. Image quality is nearly Full HD at 240/250 fps, and HD at 480/500 fps in Quality Priority mode. The end trigger mode also enables you to capture 2 or 4 seconds before the MOVIE button is pressed, letting you capture the decisive moment.

1/32000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter

1/32000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter

Up to 1/32000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter works to minimise image distortion caused by the rolling shutter phenomenon. The extraordinarily fast shutter speed also allows you to produce photos with background defocusing using a large aperture setting even under extremely bright conditions at a maximum of EV19 .

Quick  precision autofocusing up to 0.09 sec.

Quick precision autofocusing up to 0.09 sec.

AF performance of the RX10 II reaches speeds as fast as 0.09 second. To help you capture momentary shutter opportunities without fail, the adaptable lens also provides the rapid, reliable Direct Drive Super Sonicwave Motor (SSM) for smooth and highly precise focus driving that works together with Fast Intelligent AF.

Up to 14fps    continuous shooting with reduced blackout

Up to 14fps continuous shooting with reduced blackout

Thanks to the new super-high-speed image sensor — and despite its 20.2 MP high pixel count — the camera features accelerated readout speed that helps achieve continuous shooting up to 14fps . This lets you capture moments of fleeting beauty or facial expressions.
