Features

Sony's best pocket camera just got better.

When beautiful scenery inspires the artist within, capture every exquisite detail with the compact Cyber-shot RX100 II. You'll enjoy extraordinary light sensitivity, breathtaking image quality and beautiful background defocusing thanks to a newly developed 1.0-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor and f/1.8 lens.

 

 

Captures Beautiful Shots Even In Low Light

Extremely high sensitivity and remarkably low noise are achieved thanks to Sony’s massive new 20.2-megapixel Exmor R™ CMOS sensor. Its back illumination technology collects light more efficiently and combines with image processing advances to dramatically reduce noise, so you can shoot amazingly clean, low-noise photos and movies in dimly-lit environments at high-sensitivity settings. 

 

Sophisticated, Ultra-Bright Lens Technology

Legendary Carl Zeiss® optics and unrivalled Sony imaging technology merge in a compact, high-performance lens that offers supremely accurate performance, powerful 3.6x (28-100 mm at 35 mm equivalent) optical zoom capabilities and an enormous F1.8 aperture with almost perfectly round seven-blade diaphragm for beautiful background defocusing.

 

 

Expand Your Shooting Options

A Multi Interface Shoe lets you attach a wide range of accessories for shooting photos and movies. These include an electronic viewfinder, powerful external flash unit and stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via Multi Terminal.

 

 

View Every Scene Clearly On The Tiltable LCD Screen

The 3.0-type, 1229k-dot Xtra Fine monitor displays scenes extra clearly, even in bright sunlight. It can be tilted up to 45° downward to shoot over crowds or up to 84° upward to capture pets eye to eye. You’ll enjoy clear, true-to-life reproduction thanks to WhiteMagic™ wizardry, which combines white and RGB pixels to boost brightness and visibility. Other technologies improve contrast, deepen blacks and reduce surface reflections. Brightness adjusts automatically to enhance viewing.

 

 

Instantly Connect To Smartphones And Tablets

Simply touch your Android™ smartphone or tablet to the camera to instantly create a connection. No setup is required beyond downloading the free PlayMemories Mobile™ app to your device. This convenient feature is made possible by NFC™ (Near Field Communication)*, which is available for the first time with One-touch remote on a Sony digital camera. Once connected, you can remotely control the camera’s shutter release from your mobile device and instantly receive the captured image via Wi-Fi, then upload the transferred images straightaway to your favourite Social Networking site.

 

Effortlessly Adjust Camera Settings

Simply rotate the control ring around the lens to adjust camera settings with ease. It turns smoothly with clear feedback on the LCD screen to provide precise, intuitive adjustment that's usually reserved for SLR cameras. The RX100 II also has a Step Zoom feature, enabling you to swiftly select any of five commonly used focal lengths (28, 35, 50, 70 or 100mm) by simply turning the control ring with your finger.

 

 

Full HD Movies 

As when capturing photographs, you can take full advantage of the bright lens and sensitive sensor to create movies of breathtaking quality with extremely low noise, even in dark environments. Movies are recorded at Full HD resolution and you can record them at the extremely high frame rate of 60p (50p)* to enable supremely smooth playback or 24p for a more expressive cinematic look. You can also enjoy the unlimited manual creative freedom of P/A/S/M modes. 

 

 

Intuitively adjust settings with the control ring

Simply rotate the control ring around the lens to adjust camera settings with ease. It turns smoothly and steplessly with clear feedback on the LCD to provide precise, intuitive adjustment usually reserved for SLR cameras.

 

 

Function button puts your favorites at your fingertips

Your favorite functions are only a press away thanks to the easily customizable Function button. Just press to access, then adjust parameters with the control ring. You can assign up to 7 functions from a list of 17 possibilities.

 

 

A studio you can hold in your hands

Picture Effect transforms your photos and videos into unique works of art from within the camera. Fulfill your creative vision with 13 modes, including Toy Camera, Pop Color, Posterization, Retro Photo, Soft High-key, Partial Color and High- contrast Monochrome. Real-time preview is available for most effects.

 

 

Cut, crop, and track any subject perfectly

Save an expertly trimmed, beautifully balanced composition in addition to your original image, whether you're shooting a single- or two-person portrait, snapping a close-up, or capturing a moving subject with tracking focus.

 

 

10 fps continuous shooting

You can always capture the ideal moment and facial expression, even when recording sporting events and other fast-moving action, by shooting continuously at approx. 10 frames per second.

 

 

Steady shots even without steady hands

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization compensates for camera shake blur during handheld still image shooting. When shooting movies, Optical SteadyShot (Active Mode) enhances stabilization and compensates for rolling camera shake.

 

 

No subject is too wide or too tall

Shoot breathtaking panorama photos with ease via Sweep Panorama. Simply sweep the camera either vertically or horizontally to create sprawling cityscapes or majestic landscapes.

 

 

TRILUMINOS™ COLOR 

The RX100 II supports Sony’s TRILUMINOS™ COLOR, allowing you to view photos and movies in rich, natural colours on any TV equipped with a TRILUMINOS™ Display. The expanded colour gamut lets you immerse yourself once again in those unforgettably colourful moments, from the complex shades in a shimmering blue sky to the delicate skin tones in a baby’s face.
