Sony does it again

Sony's RX100 Series cameras pack a lot of imaging power into a compact, highly portable body. These little cameras have been a big deal in the world of photography enthusiasts since they first came out — in fact, the original RX100 is still highly regarded. The updated RX100 VI shares the same large 1" sensor and blazing-fast processor as its predecessors, but this latest update gets a new lens with more zoom versatility and a few next-level movie-recording features.

The compact Sony RX100 VI is great for snapping candid portraits on the fly.

Think fast

The RX100 VI's Fast Hybrid autofocus system can lock onto your subject in as little as .03 seconds, and it can do an astonishing 24 frames per second of continuous shooting at full resolution. Powerful tracking performance gives you clear, sharp action photos and smooth videos at up to 4K resolution.

Outstanding 4K video quality

The RX100 VI records video in Full HD and 4K. When shooting 4K, the camera collects around 1.7 times as much information as required for basic 4K movie output. This "oversampling" results in outstanding resolution.

Videographers, this camera gives you S-Log3 and S-Log2 gamma curves to support color grading in post-production. And a new HLG profile means that movies played on an HDR/HLG compatible TV don't need color grading. A clean HDMI output sends uncompressed movie data to an external recorder or monitor. You can keep recording internally to the camera even when using this function.

Slow down time

The RX100 VI's zippy processing lets you take high-speed photos and slow-motion video. You can freeze objects in motion with electronic shutter speeds up to 1/32,000 seconds, or slow down time with 40X super-slow-motion HD video capability. You can capture fleeting moments like fireworks bursting in midair, or a butterfly flapping its wings, and watch the action unfold in ways you've never seen before.

Premium glass

The RX100 VI's 24-200mm zoom lens gives you a useful zoom range to work with. Specialized lens elements ensure high resolution images at any focal length. Large maximum apertures throughout the zoom range enable fast, blur-free shooting and lovely background defocusing. A lens-mounted control ring gives you added command over manual controls and lets you adjust different features and functions. Smooth, quiet operation lets you use the control ring while shooting video as well.

Add functionality with your phone

Sony's Imaging Edge app lets you use your mobile device to control shooting and instantly transfer photos and videos shot on the RX100 VI to your phone or tablet for easy uploading and sharing.

NFC touch pairing is available for compatible Android™ devices, and new QR code compatibility lets you quickly pair devices without NFC. Location Information Link via Bluetooth lets you record location data with the correct date and time on still images.

Recording Features

Tiltable 3" LCD Touch Screen: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100M6 (RX100 VI) digital camera has a 3.0" Xtra Fine LCD screen with 921,600 dots. The LCD brightness control can be set to Auto, Manual (-2 to +2), or Sunny Weather (appropriate for shooting outdoors). You can tilt the LCD upward approximately 180° for shooting low angles and self-portraits, and downward approximately 90° for high angles. The touch-sensitive screen adds even more features, including Touch Focus, Touch Pad Auto Focus, and Touch Shutter, even when the monitor is tilted.

OLED Viewfinder: In addition to the 3" LCD screen, the camera is equipped with a 0.39" XGA electronic OLED viewfinder with 2,359,296 dots and a Zeiss T* coating for unparalleled clarity. With the press of a button, the viewfinder pops up from the top panel for those occasions when you want an eye-level viewfinder, and can be pressed down and out of the way when you want to use the LCD screen. The viewfinder has a -4.0-1 to +3.0m-1 diopter adjustment to adjust it to your eyesight. The camera automatically powers on/off when you open/close the viewfinder.

Super-fast Auto Focus: The RX100 VI delivers lightning fast 0.03-second auto focusing when you combine the speed of Phase Detection AF with the accuracy of Contrast Detection AF. With 315 AF points covering 65% of the image sensor's image area, you can keep your subject in focus more consistently, and track fast moving objects.

Image Recording Formats: The camera records still images in JPEG (with Extra Fine, Fine, and Standard compression), RAW (unprocessed), and JPEG+RAW formats (images from both formats created at the same time). Moving images can be recorded in XAVC S (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 with 2-channel LPCM audio) or AVCHD Ver. 2.0 format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 with Dolby Digital 2ch audio).

Image Sensor: The camera is equipped with a 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with back-illumination technology for better light collection and a wider ISO sensitivity range. This 13.2 x 8.8mm (1") 20.1MP Exmor RS CMOS image sensor with approximately 20.9-million total pixels and 20.2-million effective pixels and a native 3:2 aspect ratio. Paired with the image sensor is the high speed BIONZ X image processor.

Lens: The camera is equipped with newly-designed Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* (T-star) 8x zoom lens. It has a focal length of 9-72mm (35mm equivalent 24-200mm) and a 3:2 aspect ratio. The aperture range is F2.8-11.0 in wide angle and F4.5-11.0 in telephoto. The lens features 8 aspherical lens elements with 13 aspherical faces for maximum resolution and edge-to-edge clarity and contrast across the entire zoom range.

Shutter Types: The RX100 VI offers both a mechanical shutter and an electronic shutter. The Shutter Type settings are as follows:

  • Auto: The shutter type is automatically switched based on the shooting conditions and shutter speed.
  • Mechanical Shutter: The camera operates with the mechanical shutter only. The shutter speed can be set from 30 seconds to 1/2000 second, plus Bulb. Both the mechanical and electronic shutter sounds are heard. The electronic shutter sound can be turned off, if desired.
  • Electronic Shutter: The camera shoots with the electronic shutter only. The shutter speed can be set from 30 seconds to 1/32000 second. Only the electronic shutter sound is heard, and can be turned off, if desired.

Clear Image/Digital Zoom: In addition to the 8x optical zoom, you can reach higher zoom scales by engaging the Clear Image Zoom or the Digital Zoom, or both. Clear Image Zoom enlarges the center of the image digitally up to 2x with little or no image degradation. The amount of zoom depends upon the image size as follows:

Image Size Optical Zoom Clear Image Zoom Maximum Zoom Scale
L: 20M 8x 16x 32x
M: 10M 8x 22x 44x

VGA 8x 121x 121x
Movie 8x 12x 4K
16x HD
32x

Optical SteadyShot: Optical SteadyShot can help prevent image blurring that occurs when shooting still images or movies hand-held, in low light, or when zoomed to the telephoto end of the zoom range. Optical SteadyShot's stabilization is equivalent to shooting at a faster shutter speed of 4.0 stops at 200mm to give you better, sharper image quality.

Still Image Sizes: When recording digital still images, the DSC-RX100M6 allows you to choose from multiple image sizes in four aspect ratios: 3:2 (best for printing), 16:9 (best for viewing on an HDTV), 4:3 (best for viewing on a computer), and 1:1 (best for shooting as a medium format camera).
