The new RX10 IV is much more than a solid, smart all-in-one compact—it packs enough groundbreaking innovations for even professionals to marvel at, from this ultra-fast AF system of its kind, to legendary optics throughout its 25x zoom range, to extraordinarily precise, powerful image processing, and more.

AF Makes a Giant Leap

0.03-sec. autofocus speed doesn’t miss a move

The RX10 IV’s AF systems heighten response, accuracy, and range for more controllably precise, tenacious focus on your subject, however quickly the scene’s action unfolds.

Incomparable AF speed

• See ultra-fast autofocus in action

  World-leading 0.03-s2 AF speed is made possible by the 1.0-type Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor that provides for fast, accurate autofocusing at all times. 

All-around AF coverage

• Autofocus captures a subject wherever it is in the image

  315 phase-detection AF points cover approx. 65% of the image area to provide widespread autofocus coverage of subjects that appear in the frame.

Tenacious AF tracking

• Stays on moving subjects for as long as you like

  With High-density Tracking AF Technology, focus reliably stays on moving subjects and activates AF points to cover the area around the subject.

Advanced operation with an easy touch

More tactile focus control even when shooting

The exemplary RX10 IV puts more intuitive, versatile control of focus right at your fingertips. 

• Smooth focus point selection with Touch Pad AF

  Slide your finger to shift focus. It’s handy while monitoring the viewfinder.

• Tap on a next subject with Touch Focus

  Simply touch the LCD screen to focus on the chosen subject.

More rapid, wide-ranging autofocus control

AF operation extended and refined

Touch operation and other autofocus innovations take optimal advantage of the Fast Hybrid AF system’s superior speed, accuracy and versatility for location shooting, continuous shooting, and ultra-telephoto shooting. 

• Focus Range Limiter is ready for action

  This allows for more rapid focusing according to distance from subjects.

• AF-A mode optimizes AF mode automatically

  Automatically switches between Single AF and Continuous AF tracking, whichever is optimal.

• No half-press to focus with AF-ON

  This lets you capture moments instantly without a half-press focus sequence.

Get to the Peak of the Action

Continuous shooting up to 24fps

Consistently capture decisive moments of even fast-moving action. The RX10 IV features a high-speed front-end LSI and the vast power of the BIONZ X™ image processing engine to enable continuous shooting, even with AF/AE tracking, at up to approx. 24fps4 for up to 2495 frames at a time.

High-speed 24fps shooting with AF/AE tracking

• Features refined to match higher shooting capability

  Even images shot continuously at 24fps look extraordinarily smooth and rich as you monitor them on the electronic viewfinder that keeps display lag to an absolute minimum during shooting.  

Silent electronic shutter

• Shoot noise-sensitive scenes without making a sound 

  Record live performances, wildlife, and action without being distracting, by setting the electronic shutter for silent shooting6. Up to 1/32,000-s fast, this shutter also minimizes image distortion.

High resolution zoom: Wide

All-in-wonderful

Sony packs the RX10 IV with extraordinary large aperture lenses, a state-of-the-art BIONZ X™ processor ensuring high resolution out to the images' edges, capability to shoot dazzling bokeh and steady close-ups, and much more. The quality of every still and movie image, even shot at top speed, is as clearly superior as all the innovation that this brilliant Cyber-shot™ contains.

The pursuit of optical perfection

• Flawless images take more exceptional elements of refinement 

  The built-in ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600 mm7 F2.4-4 high magnification zoom lens achieves excellent contrast and sharpness in every shot, throughout an extreme wide-angle to ultra-telephoto range. 

Advanced BIONZ X™

• Powers image processing to an all-time high 

  The BIONZ X™ image processor’s advanced algorithm improves image quality by enhancing resolution, minimizing noise, and depicting reality in all its variety and subtlety.

Make movies more expressive

Fast Hybrid AF for 4K movie recording

• Pro class shooting features for more professional results

  Fast Hybrid AF makes autofocus more speedy and accurate, while 4K movie (QFHD: 3,840 x 2,160) recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning ensures footage with resolution high enough to satisfy professionals.

Pro-style Operability

Operate on impulse

Focusing, monitoring, setting adjustments and other essential functions not only feel natural to handle at all times—they’re designed to accommodate professional-style applications as well.
