Sony’s 35 mm full-frame 24.3-megapixel Exmor™
CMOS sensor* brings light and colour to life.
Advanced BIONZ™ image processing faithfully expresses your creative vision.
Only Sony has the proprietary image sensor development experience to create a 35mm
full-frame CMOS sensor this refined. By faithfully capturing every detail at 24.3 effective
megapixel resolution (approx.), it lets you casually frame scenes for later trimming or create
stunning large-format prints. Every scene is faithfully captured with astonishingly rich
gradation, thanks to a dynamic range 2.4x wider** than conventional full-frame sensors
can provide. Noise has also been lowered to an infinitesimal level. And razor-sharp
alignment of the sensor with optical components — made possible by a unified lens-body
design — brings out the full potential of the lens to deliver unprecedented image qualit y to
the very edges of your photos.
* App roximate effective reso lu tion
** In comp ar ison wit h t he DSLR-A900
Sony’s sophisticated BIONZ image processing engine optimises ever y detail received
from the high-resolution image sensor — throughout an extremely wide dynamic
range — to faithfully reproduce every feature of your scene from vivid colours to smooth
skin tex tures and faint light rays. Even the most processor-intensive tasks are handled with
amazing speed and precision, including 5 fps continuous shooting, ISO 14-bit RAW format
conversion, and high-sensitivity shooting up to 102400 (which composites multiple images
to reduce noise).
Sony’s passion for quality and compactness culminates in a
groundbreaking camera that merges a 35mm full-frame sensor
an d bri gh t l en s wi th in pa lm - s ize d dim en s io ns . Now you can
shoot emotionally charged photographs of extraordinary quality
wherever you go. Make your dreams come true with the DSC- RX1.
The bright Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm F2 lens delivers truly stunning image quality.
Carl Zei s s lens expertise meets Sony optical precision in a
sophisticated Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* lens, so -named because
its remarkable brightnes s is reminiscent of the sun (“Sonne”
in German). The new optical design of this large- diameter
lens includes an Advanced Aspherical (AA) lens element
that helped Sony achieve a phenomenally small lens body
and stunning image quality with supreme sharpness and
contrast. Moreover, the inner focus system minimises lens
protrusion. This is especially adva ntageous during macro
shooting, which provides a minimum focus di stance of 20cm
(from the focal plane).
