Sony Cybershot DSC-RX10 II Compact Digital Camera

Built with a compact Magnesium alloy body that repels dust and moisture, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX10 II captures images in amazing quality with combination of the 20.2 megapixel, 1" EXMOR R CMOS Sensor and the BIONZ X Image Processor. All photos are enhanced further by built-in Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 8.8-73.3mm f/2.8 Lens with multi-layer coating to reduce ghosting and flaring. Quick focusing is made possible by the Supersonic Wave Motor for Fast Autofocus which can lock in a subject in only 0.09 seconds. Regardless of light source intensity, this Sony digital camera can balance the situation thanks to its 100-12800 ISO range and the built-in three-step Neutral Density Filter. Image blur caused by unwanted camera shake is also reduced through SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization. Meanwhile, the 2,359k-dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder Electronic Viewfinder shows real-time effects before capturing the shot. Beyond still images, the DSC-RX10 II is also capable of high-precision Ultra HD 4K video recording that can be enhanced through up to 40x Super Slow Motion. Finding the perfect angle is made easy via the 3", 1229k-dot tilting TFT LCD while sharing videos and images online is a breeze through the Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity.

Product Features in Detail


20.2MP (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 1/32,000 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
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
ZEISS Vario-Sonnar® T* zoom lens provides a constant F2.8 large aperture throughout the 24-200 mm 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
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
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 960/1,000fps, 480/500fps, or 240/250fps (NTSC/PAL), for the speed of a moving subject. Image quality is nearly Full HD at 240/250fps, and HD at 480/500fps 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.


1/32,000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter
Up to 1/32,000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter works to minimize 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.


Up to 14fps continuous shooting with reduced blackout
Thanks to the new super-high-speed image sensor—and despite its 20.2MP 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.


Bright XGA OLED Tru-Finder™ for inspired shooting
High-contrast electronic viewfinder (EVF) delivers high resolution equivalent to 2,359k dots. Stunning resolution and self-illumination allow display of subtlest details for precise composition.


Quick precision autofocusing up to 0.09 seconds
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.
