  • General
    • Brand: Sony
    • Model Number: DSCRX100M5/B
    • Product Name: Cyber-shot RX100 V 21.0-Megapixel Digital Camera
    • Color: Black
    • Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: 1” (13.2 x 8.8 mm)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 3840 x 2160 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Digital Zoom: 11x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Optical Zoom: 2.9x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
    • Image File Format(s): DCF 2.0 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 24 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: AUTO(Intelligent Auto/Superior Auto); Program Auto; Aperture Priority; Shutter Speed Priority; Manual Exposure; MR(Memory Recall); 1,2,3,M1,M2,M3,M4; Movie Mode; HFR Mode; Panorama; Scene Selection (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: true
    • Scene Modes: Portrait; Sports; Action; Macro; Landscape; Sunset; Night Scene; Handheld; Twilight; Night Portrait; Anti Motion; Blur; Pet Mode; Gourmet; Fireworks; High Sensitivity (Exposure modes with predetermined optimal settings for capturing specific scenes. Examples include Landcape, Portrait, and Sports modes.)
    • White Balance Modes: Auto; Daylight; Shade; Cloudy; Incandescent; Fluor.: Warm White; Cool White; Day White; Daylight; Flash; C.Temp./Filter; Custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 21 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: TFT-LCD
    • Screen Size: 2.95 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 1,228,800 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
    • Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
  • Video
    • Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)

Q: What is included, battery, card?

Q: Can this camera save a RAW and .JPG simultaneously when taking photos?

A: Yes, the Sony RX100 V definitely can capture RAW and JPG images at the same time. That is my preferred option, especially with fast 64 GB SD flash cards being so cheap now. I would strongly recommend an extra battery.

Q: Can you change the lens?

A: Hi RL! No. The RX100 V is not an interchangeable lens camera. -Anthony

Q: can you mount this camera on a tripod

A: Yes it can be mounted on a tripod .

Q: Does this have remote shooting

A: Yes, this has remote shooting.

Q: how is this V better or worse than the III? the III is hundreds of bucks cheaper ( but I cd not find it when i needed it) I saw that the III got a top 3 rating in may 2018, tho 3 yrs old cam. I wonder why the V did not make it tto the list>?

A: There are a couple of differences that sold me on the Sony V over the iii. With the V you are able to shoot 4K video (although it does go thru battery life a lot quicker.). But I have been able to shoot some good video with it. It also has a 24fps to the iii 10fps so it shoots faster action shoots then the iii. The sensor on the V is also supposed to be better. I can personally tell you that it does capature better light in low light situations even without the flash. I am very happy of having spent the extra money to get this camera.

Q: what is the expectedf battery life for a fully charged battery? (pictures)?

A: It depends on the demands of your picture taking pics and videos. You also need to carefully review your settings to minimize what may drain your battery more than necessary. There a number of postings on YouTube that will review settings that may help. With that being said, I'm currently placing my RX100V thru the demands of taking pics on a short vacation. Using a fully charged OEM battery and taking various pics over the past four days it's down to 1/8 charged. I know that this doesn't really help since I am not providing details on my use, however, as a vacationer and just taking what you might expect...that's about it. You may want to put it up on trial period and see what works for you. Note: Have back up batteries. I have one in camera and two fully charged backups. All are numbered. Hence, I using #1 and when that's spent I'll move to #2 (sometime today) and then have #3 the backup. Projecting the first change out I'll recharge first battery tonight. While going thru my settings and since it was on for a decent period of time the battery did get a bit warm...indicating that it was drawing a decent amount from the battery. Hence, it's not just taking shots it's what demands you place on the battery. During this vacation I am also alternating between my iPhone 6S Plus and my RX100. There are some instances where I found the ease to set focus and exposure easier by simple simply using the touch screen on my iPhone. I'm going to have to review the pics and compare. I can easily send a pic(s) to a recipient via the iPhone. I know I can upload pics from RX100 to iPhone and then to recipents...but a bit of a hassle. Then again, talking about battery drain using the iPhone will drain battery as you use it as a phone, camera and iPod....so having it charged up is something you need to stay on top of. Hope this helps.
