About this model
The Sony RX100 IV is a pocket-sized premium compact that punches far above its size. Its 1-inch stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor is much larger than those in typical compacts, delivering cleaner low-light images and better background blur. The bright 24-70mm equivalent Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens covers wide to short telephoto, while the pop-up electronic viewfinder makes framing easy in bright light. The stacked sensor enables very fast readout, giving continuous shooting up to 16 frames per second, super slow-motion video and 4K recording. A tilting screen, built-in ND filter and extensive manual controls make it a serious tool for enthusiasts who want DSLR-like capability in a jacket pocket.
