Key Features
World’s first 20.1 MP 1” Exmor RS
®
 stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor
1
Introducing the world’s first
1
 1” (1.0-type) stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip and a blazingly fast shutter speed 
of up to 1/32000. This new Exmor RS
®
 sensor not only enhances efficiency and speed of A/D conversion through its stacked 
structure with more circuit sections; it also realizes over five times faster readout speed of the previous RX100 III - thanks to 
a DRAM chip integrated into the sensor structure. This processing speed allows for stunning 20.1-megapixels at up to 16fps 
continuous shooting, breathtaking 4k movie and super slow-motion HFR (High Frame Rate) recording of up to 960fps (40x) 
movie clips – not to mention remarkable low-light low-noise capability.
High resolution Clip-4K movie with direct pixel readout and no pixel binning
The compact - pocket-size RX100 IV features Clip 4K: short video of up to 5 minute 4K movie recording directly to SD 
memory card* - ideal for everyday casual use. High quality 4k is achieved by the 1” Exmor RS
®
 CMOS sensor with full pixel 
readout and no line skipping or pixel binning - resulting in images that exhibit higher resolution and less moire and jaggies 
than typical 4K movies. Moreover, the XAVC S™ format is incorporated to maximize high-bitrate shooting up to 100 Mbps 
for professional quality video.  
Super slow-motion movie

 HFR (High frame rate) up to 960 fps (40x)
See the unseen with superspeed HFR (High Frame Rate). The RX100 IV can capture super slow motion HFR movie
3
 at up to 
40x slower than real time. You can chose from 960fps, 480fps or 240fps to playback in XAVC S at 1920 x 1080, in either 60p, 
30p or 24p
4
. Choose between “quality priority” (2 sec.) and “shoot time priority” (4 sec.). There’s also an option to set “start 
trigger” or “end trigger” which will start capturing movie before or after you press the movie rec. button so you can time 
those split-second moments perfectly.
Super-speed Anti-Distortion Shutter at max. 1/32000 sec. up  to 14fps
Thanks to dramatically accelerated sensor readout, shutter speeds of up to 1/32000 sec. minimize distortion caused by 
rolling shutter phenomenon. This new blazing-fast - Anti-Distortion Shutter system — can capture shots of swiftly moving 
subjects without altering their shape as conventional CMOS sensors tend to do. Additionally, the super high speed shutter 
gives you freedom to shoot photos with defocused backgrounds by using large aperture settings under very bright lighting 
conditions. This is achieved by a combination of 1/32000 super high speed shutter and built-in ND filter that allows photos 
to be shot in extremely bright light at a maximum of EV19 with a fully open F-number aperture setting.
Bright F1.8- F2.8 ZEISS
®
 Vario-Sonnar T* lens (24-70mm)
The RX100 IV features a large aperture F1.8-2.8 ZEISS
®
 Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 24-70mm zoom (35mm equivalent). The lens 
is perfect for portraits and macro shots with beautiful defocused backgrounds (bokeh). Two aspherical lens elements are 
incorporated into the design to improve sharpness while the premium multi-layered T* coating also dramatically reduces 
ghost and flare caused by light reflection.
Fast Intelligent AF thanks to the new Exmor RS
®
 CMOS sensor
With Fast Intelligent AF, the RX100 IV can capture those decisive moments and fleeting opportunities much faster than 
previous models. It incorporates an autofocusing system that enables high-speed, high-precision contrast detection, 
thanks to Sony’s proprietary algorithm and the new Exmor RS
®
 CMOS sensor.
Retractable XGA OLED Tru-Finer™ electronic viewfinder w/ZEISS
®
 T* coating
View every scene in rich detail with the bright and retractable XGA OLED Tru-Finer™ electronic viewfinder (EVF) with high 
resolution equivalent to approx. 2,359k-dots. The viewfinder faithfully displays what will appear in your recording, including 
the effects of your camera settings, so you can accurately frame your image, focus and monitor the results. The ZEISS
®
 T* 
coating enhances clarity and reduces flare and reflection in the eyepiece optics.
