Sony DSC-RX100iv – Cybershot 1-inch Digital Camera

The world of superspeed shooting
Welcome to the incredible new world of superspeed shooting. Super slow motion — once primarily on pro cams. Thrilling fast-action images captured without distortion. Freedom to shoot in bright lighting conditions as never before. Enter the hidden realm of 1/32000-second imagination. Wonders await you.

Shoot beyond human vision.
Super potential. Super reality.
Inside the compact RX100 IV is the world’s first2 memory-attached 1.0-type stacked CMOS sensor — a remarkable advance in image shooting possibilities. Use it to reveal the wonders of up to 40x super slow motion3, super-high-speed 1/32000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter and handy 4K movies. Now explore infinite imaging freedom beyond imagination.

1.0-type stacked CMOS sensor with DRAM chip
Heart of super-high-speed shooting
Image sensor breakthrough brings you cutting-edge new functions — including up to 40x super slow motion3 and Anti-Distortion Shutter — that used to be available only with pro-use gear.

Stacked structure with DRAM chip (memory) attached
Newly developed image sensor design
Stacked under [1] the pixel area, [2] Hi-speed signal processing circuit of the new Exmor RS CMOS sensor is extended, and [3] DRAM chip (memory) is attached to buffer huge image data.

High-speed readout
Overwhelmingly fast
Thanks to the stacked structure and quickly buffering [3] DRAM chip (memory), the new Exmor RS CMOS sensor realises over 5x faster readout speed5 than conventional models.

Anti-Distortion Shutter
Minimised image distortion
Sensor’s high readout speed — which enables the Anti-Distortion Shutter — greatly reduces image distortion (photo [1]) caused by the rolling shutter phenomenon (photo [2]).

Super-high-speed shooting
A world of wonder shot at 1/32000 sec.
The super-fast Anti-Distortion Shutter of up to 1/32000 sec. allows you to capture extremely fast motion without image distortion caused by rolling shutter.
