Faster, more precise AF
The improved autofocus is the result of a cutting-edge AF system that combines super-fast 0.05-second2 AF speed and wide, dense AF coverage employing 315 phase-detection AF points.
Wide 315-AF-point coverage keeps action in focus
315 densely arrayed phase-detection AF points offer wide coverage (65% of image sensor's image area) for consistent AF and tracking, even of small, fast-moving subjects.
Autofocus achieved in just 0.05 seconds2
The Fast Hybrid AF system, combining high-speed phase-detection AF with extremely accurate contrast-detection AF, allows the camera to lock onto and capture moving subjects in merely 0.05 seconds2.
24fps3 continuous shooting
Capture 20.1 MP images, at up to 24fps3, continuously for up to 233 shots7, and with full AF/AE tracking for each. With reduced blackout it's also easier to follow moving subjects on both the LCD screen or viewfinder.
The more quiet, the more candid
Switch to electronic shutter and deactivate sound8 to get close to and shoot pets and other subjects silently, even using continuous shooting modes.
Advanced image processing system
The drive behind advanced AF and continuous shooting
The 20.1 effective megapixel Exmor RS CMOS image sensor featuring focal plane phase-detection AF sensor, the advanced high-speed BIONZ X image processing engine and the front-end LSI that supports image processing are efficiently controlled. Together, they achieve 0.05-sec.2 AF response, high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking at up to approx. 24fps3, higher perceived resolution and low noise levels as well as more accurate face and eye detection.
Outstanding image quality and continuous shooting
You needn't compromise image quality for shooting speed. The RX100 V can capture high-resolution images of over 20 MP as quickly as 24fps3, thanks to enhanced image processing capacity and response.
Extended support for 4K video4 5capture
The Fast Hybrid AF system and wide autofocus coverage allow fast focusing speeds and high tracking accuracy to capture sharp images even when shooting 4K5 movies4 10.
Making the most of 4K5 recordings
The RX100V captures 4K5 movies4 10 using a full sensor readout, without the pixel binning common on other cameras. By condensing around 1.7x the image data into each 4K frame, fine details are rendered precisely with less moire and other image artefacts.
Super slow motion6
The RX100 V can record movies for super slow motion at up to 960fps11 (40x the normal frame rate). With twice the recording time of its predecessor12 13, you can capture even more action, to express almost any activity more memorably.
More versatile functions
The RX100 V inherits the brilliant retractable OLED electronic viewfinder with anti-reflective ZEISS® T* Coating, multi-function control ring/custom buttons and 180-degree tiltable LCD screen that distinguish its predecessor12.
