The design of this sensor uses back-lit technology to improve clarity and image quality when working in low-light conditions, as well as to increase sensitivity to a native ISO 12800. Benefiting from the performance of this sensor is the BIONZ X image processor, which helps to produce images with quality and t quality, which helps to produce images with t and quality.

The large 20.1 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor features backlight technology to enhance its low-light capabilities with a native ISO 12800 while maintaining vivid clarity. using Sony's column A/D conversion and area-specific noise reduction, images are rendered with impressive quality and smooth gradations between tones and colours due to the sharp and intelligent reduction of apparent noise. further improving image quality, detail reproduction technology works to increase the capabilities of fine detail representation for apparent noise quality. further improving image quality, detail reproduction technology works to increase the capabilities of fine detail representation for apparent quality. further enhancing detail reproduction technology works to increase the capabilities of fine detail representation for apparent quality.

Also benefiting the image quality, as well as the overall performance of the camera, is the BIONZ X image processor, which provides continuous shooting of up to 10 fps in speed priority mode, 2.9 fps of shooting with single-shot AF, a shutter time of only 0.008 seconds, and a start-up time of 1.6 seconds

Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T * Lens

The built-in Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T * lens provides a focal length range equivalent to 35 mm from 24-70 mm, covering wide-angle to portrait length perspectives to suit work in a wide variety of shooting conditions. A maximum aperture of f/1.8-2.8 benefits from working in difficult lighting conditions throughout the zoom range and also allows greater control over focus placement for shallow depth-of-field images, which is further accentuated with a seven-leaf diaphragm to produce a smooth focus quality output. Nine elements provide a smooth focus quality output. Nine elements provide the best possible focus quality.

Benefiting from the 2.9x range of this lens, in addition to supporting work in difficult lighting conditions and with longer shutter speeds, is Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, which helps compensate for the effects of camera shake. When shooting movies, image stabilization uses an intelligent active mode, which also uses electronic image stabilization to compensate for the effects of camera shake and shutter effect

In addition, a 0.9 neutral density filter is incorporated into the camera design, which provides a three-stop reduction in exposure to allow work in brighter conditions with wider aperture settings and for greater control over how the subject's movement is represented.

Camera design

Within the compact design of the RX100 III there is a high-resolution electronic viewfinder and a large rear LCD monitor. the SVF OLED Tru-Finder EVF 0.39" 1.440k dot provides a bright and clear medium for eye level monitoring, which is well suited for critical compositions and working in bright conditions. it offers 100% frame coverage, a unique pop-up and a Zeiss T* layer in the optics to reduce surface reflections and flare for better visibility. alternatively, a 3.0 Xtra Fine LCD is also available for better visibility. a 3.0F OLED Tru-Finder EVF provides a bright and clear medium for monitoring eye level, which is well suited for critical compositions and working in bright conditions. it offers 100% frame coverage, a single pop-up and a Zeiss T* layer in the optics to reduce surface reflections and flare for better visibility. alternatively, a 3.0F Xtra Fine LCD is also available.

For intuitive, SLR-type adjustments in a variety of camera configurations, a manual control ring surrounds the lens and features a smooth, clickless design for fast, silent configuration change. The ring can be assigned to control a variety of functions at different values, such as zoom, aperture, and Image Effects. A step zoom function can also be used to allow instant switching between commonly used focal lengths.

Full HD video recording

Full HD 1920 x 1080 movies can be recorded in high quality XAVC S format, which uses a Long GOP (Picture Group) structure, MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 video compression and linear PCM audio compression, and saves within the MP4 container format. These compressed files allow recording times of up to 29 minutes and allow video recording of 50 Mbps at 1080 / 60p, 1080 / 30p, 1080 / 24p and 720 / 120p. Full pixel reading helps minimize any artifact in recordings,

Benefiting from advanced video applications, the RX100 III also supports a clean HDMI output for recording uncompressed video via an optional external recorder and for real-time viewing on an accessory monitor. Recording frame rates include 24p, 60p and 60i, and the shooting information display can be turned off during recording for a clearer view when using an external monitor.

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with NFC

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity enables instant transfer of images to mobile devices for sharing directly online to social networks, via email and to storage sites in the cloud. NFC (Near Field Communication) is also supported, which allows one-touch connection between the camera and compatible mobile devices, without the need for complex configuration. Once connected, the linked mobile device can also display a live display image on its screen and, using intelligent remote control, remotely control the shutter release of the camera.

In addition, PlayMemories camera applications are also compatible via the built-in Wi-Fi connection, and allow you to customize camera functions depending on specific shooting styles. Applications are available to suit the creation of portraits, detailed close-ups, sports, time lapse, snapshots and other specific types of images.

Other camera features

• When working with moving subjects, Lock-on AF, with wide, central and flexible points, adjusts the size of the target frame as the subject moves through the frame of the image. face detection and facial registration technologies can be used to focus on recognized faces, and Eye AF is also available, which is a detail-oriented focusing function that prioritizes and dedicates focusing performance to the student of a subject for sharply rendered portraits.

• For manual focus control, DMF (direct manual focus) and standard manual focus options are available. Benefiting from precise manual focus, focus peaks, which highlight the contrast edges within the frame for a more objective means of determining critical sharpness, can be used or MF Help, which enlarges the image for better display of important details, is available.
