Wide-angle to super-telephoto image quality in one camera
A ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* F2.4-4.0 zoom covers 24mm to 600mm*1 (25x) with optical image stabilization, spanning everyday shots to sports and wildlife. Macro focusing reaches approximately 3cm (1.18-inches) at 24mm*1 and approximately 72cm (28.3-inches) at 600mm*1 for tele-macro.
The BIONZ XR™ image processing engine keeps noise low at mid-to-high ISO, including indoors and in low light. Skin tones, skies, and greenery hold high resolution with accurate color and texture.
Twelve Creative Look presets set color and texture in-camera, and you can customize each one. The updated D-Range Optimizer (DRO) balances highlights and shadows across a wider range, up to Lv8, lifting shadows in strong backlight for more natural portraits.
AI-powered subject recognition and high-speed performance
Real-time Recognition AF, driven by an AI-processing unit, recognizes people, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes, with an Auto mode that identifies the subject type for you.*6 Human pose estimation tracks people even when they turn away or wear helmets or sunglasses. Touch a subject to start Real-time Tracking, which follows it steadily while you focus on composition.
Track fast movement and capture decisive moments up to 30 fps2 while keeping your view uninterrupted with blackout-free continuous shooting. Up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second7 maintains precise focus and exposure on wildlife, sports, and other fast-moving, unpredictable subjects, so you can stay locked on the action from start to finish.
The Continuous Shooting Speed Boost function*2 increases burst speed when selected during a sequence.
Video features
The RX10 V records up to 4K 120p video*3, including 4K slow motion at up to 5x*8. Active Mode stabilization steadies handheld footage. The Multi Interface (MI) Shoe™ supports a digital audio signal with compatible microphones (sold separately) for clean recording. AI subject recognition also drives an Auto Framing function*9 that keeps the subject centered during recording.
S-Cinetone™ gives cinematic color straight away, and S-Log3 leaves room for post-production grading. You can import up to 16 user LUTs and monitor the graded look while shooting in Log.*10 Time-lapse and still-image extraction with Shot Mark round out the video tools.
Handling and reliability
A 0.5-type Quad-VGA OLED viewfinder with approximately 3.68 million dots and approximately 0.78x magnification*11 shows the subject clearly for composition. A 3.0-type LCD monitor, upgraded to approximately 1.62 million dots, displays fine detail.
The NP-FZ100 battery supports approximately 630 shots*5 per charge, roughly 50% more*4 than the previous model.
A button layout and grip based on the α series, plus a responsive eight-direction multi-selector, keep operation intuitive even through the viewfinder.
A dust- and moisture-resistant design*12 suits varied conditions, and Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) handles fast, stable transfers.*13 USB Type-C® supports high-speed transfer and 4K 30p live streaming.
Creators’ App connects the RX10 V to your smartphone to send files to the cloud or phone, control the camera remotely, and update software.
*1. Angle of view (35mm format equivalent).
*2. Using the electronic shutter. Sony internal measurement. Continuous shooting speed may be reduced depending on shooting conditions.
*3. 4K (QFHD 3840 x 2160) 120p recording results in a slightly narrower angle of view.
*4. Compared to the RX10 IV.
*5. CIPA standard. When shooting stills using the LCD monitor. Up to approximately 570 shots when using the viewfinder.
*6. The intended subject may not be recognized in some situations. Manually selecting the intended subject in [Recognition Target] may resolve the issue.
*7. Actual performance varies based on settings, environmental conditions, storage, and usage.
Battery capacity degrades over time as they age. Sony does not guarantee the life span of the battery.
*8. Post-production editing and S&Q mode recording are required. Audio recording is not available in S&Q mode.
*9. Available in movie mode only. Cropping from a 4K-resolution image area results in a narrower angle of view.
*10. LUT (Look Up Table): A file containing preset contrast and color information. Supported file formats are 17-point or 33-point CUBE files (.cube).
*11. 35mm equivalent, with a 50 mm lens focused at infinity and diopter set to -1 m⁻¹.
