1” Stacked back-illuminated Exmor RS CMOS Sensor

This large 1” (1.0-type) stacked back illuminated Exmor RS image sensor with BIONZ X image processing engine not only enhances efficiency and speed of A/D (analogue to digital) conversion through its stacked structure with more circuit sections; it also realizes super-fast readout speed. Additionally, the back illumination technology increases light collection efficiency and reduces noise in shots taken at up to ISO 12,800.

24mm F4 ZEISS Tessar T lens

The 24mm1 F4 ZEISS Tessar T lens delivers high-resolution images with less image distortion in peripheral areas, despite its wide-angle lens design. Improved minimum focusing distance is 7.9” (20cm), optimal for selfies and close-up shots. Employing 6 elements in 6 groups including 6 aspheric elements - this ZEISS lens intensifies recordings’ contrast and sharpness. Furthermore, you can capture improved images and suppress occurrence of ghosts and flare by using an optional hood8.

Advanced BIONZ X image processing engine

The RX0 II premium lens and sensor are complimented by the high-speed Sony BIONZ X image processing engine that powers conversion of light captured by the sensor, rendering photos and movies with natural details, realism, richer tonal gradations and low noise. Internal 4K recording8 is now possible due to the performance of BIONZ X which has been increased by a factor of about 1.8 compared to the previous RX0. In addition, face and Eye AF speed have been improved along with increased buffer when shooting multiple images continuously.

Internal 4K movie with image stabilization

The RX0 II offers 4K (3840x2160) 24p/30p internal movie recording8with electronic image stabilization and full pixel readout with no pixel binning to collect approximately 1.7 times the amount of data required for 4K video. This oversampling reduces the appearance of moiré and jaggies and delivers smooth, high quality 4K footage with exceptional detail and depth. Using the Sony Imaging Edge mobile application and Movie Edit add-on app, this footage can be transferred to a smartphone, edited, and shared easily across social networks. Even the image stabilization can be enhanced as the Movie Edit add-on app utilizes gyro information captured while shooting. Uncompressed 4K is also available via HDMI output and compatible recording devices.

Compact robust design

The RX0 II’s extra rigid super duralumin body and ultra-compact dimensions make great shots easier to take even in the toughest situations. Weighing in at only 0.30 lb. and measuring a miniscule 2.375” x 1.625” x 1.1875”, the RX0II is also waterproof2 down to 33 ft (10m) without underwater housing and shockproof3 to impact of drops to the ground from heights up to 6.5 ft. (2m). The highly reliable, robust RX0 II is also crushproof4 under weights up to 200kgf / 440 lbf / 2000N.

2 Waterproof down to 33 ft (10m) without underwater housing. The minimum focusing distance increases underwater, causing angle of view to narrow.

3 When dropped onto plywood that is 5cm/2 in. thick from heights up to 6.5ft. Conforms to MIL-STD-810G 516.7 shock test (U.S. Military Standard).

4 Cannot absolutely protect against damage to or malfunction of, or absolutely ensure waterproof/dustproof/shockproof/crushproof performance of this camera, depending on conditions and circumstances of use.

15.3MP5 up to 16fps continuous shooting

Despite its 15.3MP5 high pixel count, the super-high-speed image sensor boosts readout speed to the extent that the camera can achieve continuous shooting up to 16fps6. This lets you capture moments of fleeting beauty or facial expressions in an instant.

6 In Speed Priority Continuous mode. Focus and exposure settings fixed at first shot

Super Slow Motion

Slow motion video can be captured up to 120fps in HD with sound. Super slow motion7 at frame rates of up to 960/1000fps is available to transform even the most mundane moment into something spectacular. Slow motion shooting at 480/500fps and 240/250fps maintains fine images at nearly HD quality with the choice of Quality Priority mode. End trigger mode lets you capture the decisive moment in super slow motion starting from two or four seconds before the REC button is pressed.

7 Up to 960fps NTSC / 1000fps PAL super slow motion can be recorded. Sound cannot be recorded when shooting slow motion. A Class 10 or higher SDXC or SDHC memory card is required. NTSC/PAL mode is switchable through its menu. Image quality approaches Full HD quality at 240fps NTSC / 250fps PAL in Quality Priority mode.

Advanced video features and mic in jack

Desirable filmic looks are available with Picture Profiles which determine the character of movies by changing basic parameters like chromogenic effects and gradation adjustment. S-Log2 is a proprietary gamma setting from Sony that is invaluable for professionals seeking post-production flexibility, and extends the dynamic range of recording to reduce occurrence of blown-out highlights and black crush. Time code is also included which greatly aids in synchronizing cameras in multi-camera shooting. The RX0 II also features a mini microphone input jack which enhances audio through optional external microphones and a Proxy Recording setting that captures a smaller proxy file for faster sharing and editing.

A creative tool from every angle

Miniature dimensions and all-around versatility maximize your freedom to take and use the RX0 II effortlessly anywhere in creative ways — especially with other RX0 II cameras spread around to shoot from various perspectives. Properly-aligned multiple RX0 II cameras can be used together for creative setups from multi-camera angles, 3D, bullet-time to light-field arrays and even volumetric, thanks to the camera’s minimal symmetric design and synchronized connectivity. On its own or as part of a full-scale multi-camera system, the RX0 II can extend imaginations and open eyes to unprecedented recording possibilities.

Wireless multi-control function

W/ built-in Wi-Fi, up to 5 cameras can be controlled w/ Imaging Edge Mobile ver. 7.1 or later & from 6 to 50 cameras via an access point w/ Imaging Edge Mobile ver. 7.2 or later (sched in 2019) 9. Download free Imaging Edge Mobile9 app to mobile device for remote control of shutter release, movie record start/stop & instant receiving of captured footage. Bluetooth allows remote power on/off from mobile device. Wireless control of up to 100 cameras thru an access point and wired Ethernet control w/ optional CCBWD1 camera control box accessory (1 required per camera).

9 RX0 & RX0 II models can't be used w/ radio control at same time. Control up to 5 cameras w/ Imaging Edge Mobile ver. 7.1 or later & from 6 to 50 cameras via access point w/ Imaging Edge Mobile ver 7.2 or later (sched in 2019) per Sony's testing. Depending on access point specs, smartphone & tablet used, the radio wave environment of the installation location, the number of devices that can be connected may change.

180° tiltable LCD screen

Even with its ultra-compact body, the RX0 II boasts a tilting LCD screen for easy and convenient framing that tilts up 180° and down 90°. This makes it easy for shooting at different high and low angles as well as selfie shooting when flipped up 180°. When paired with the optional VCT-SGR1 Shooting Grip, the RX0II’s close focusing distance and 180° tilting LCD makes it the ideal camera for vlogging.

Interval recording for time-lapse videos

Time-lapse movies document changes with the passing of time. The RX0 II features built-in interval recording, for time-lapse movie creation, that can be set anywhere between 1 and 60 seconds, with a total number up of shots from 1 to 9999. AE tracking sensitivity can be adjusted to “High”, “Mid” or “Low” during interval shooting, allowing for reduced changes in exposure over the shooting interval. The still images shot can then be edited into a time-lapse movie on a computer with the Viewer software from the Imaging Edge software suite. A convenient variable-speed preview function is also provided to get an image, on the camera, of how the finished movie will look.
