BIONZ X image processing helps to bring out every texture in your photos, even when you’re shooting fast-moving subjects. Get the shot you’re after With its 75 mm (3”) TFT LCD screen, the Sony RX100IV is extremely versatile – tilt the display to grab easy selfies or to capture images from difficult angles – shoot comfortably over crowds or from very low vantage points. The OLED Tru-Finder offers a bright view on every subject with a hi-res SVGA EL screen – image clarity extends to the very edges of the frame to counteract blurring, allowing you to compose your photos more accurately. ZEISS T is a proprietary technology that minimises flare and reflection in the viewfinder – even when you’re shooting in bright sunlight. An eye sensor enables you to immediately shift between the viewfinder and LCD screen so that you can fine tune each composition. You can even retract the viewfinder into the camera body to preserve its streamlined design.

Achieve stunning depth of field effects and even try your hand at creative blurring techniques.
