As when capturing photographs, you can take full advantage of the bright lens and sensitive 35mm full-frame sensor to
create movies of breathtaking quality in various lighting. Movies are recorded at Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixel) in
the AVCHD Ver. 2.0 progressive format, and movies can be recorded at 60i or 60p for super smooth playback or 24p for
a cinematic look, or other frame rates for other effects. Full-time continuous AF ensures clear results even when capturing
fast-moving subjects. Moreover, Creative Style settings and Picture Effect expand your moviemaking creativity while
P/A/S/M modes enable manual exposure control.
Customizable buttons personalize operation
For the ultimate in user-friendly operation, you can easily reassign five buttons to activate other functions you frequently
use. These buttons (Custom, AEL and Left/Right/Down) can be reassigned to activate any of the following functions:
Drive mode, Flash mode, Autofocus Area, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, Auto Portrait Framing, Soft Skin Effect, ISO,
Metering mode, Flash Compensation, White Balance, DRO, Auto HDR, Creative Style, Picture Effect, Image Size, Quality,
Registration, AEL hold*, Spot AEL hold*, AEL toggle, Spot AEL toggle, AF/MF Control Hold*, AF/MF Control Toggle, Smart
Tele-converter, Zoom, Focus Magnifier, Aspect Ratio, Monitor Mute and Not set. * Cannot be assigned to left, right and
down buttons.
Bright high-resolution display
The 3.0" (1,229k-dot) Xtra Fine LCD enhances shooting ease by displaying scenes with impressive brightness and accuracy.
Brightness is boosted by the white pixels of WhiteMagic™ technology, while blacks are displayed blacker thanks to various
Sony technologies including an AR (anti-reflection) coating on the LCD surface and a layer of resin between the LCD and
reinforced glass that together suppress light reflection even when shooting outdoors. An illumination intensity sensor also
optimally adjusts brightness depending on your shooting environment.
Quick Navi simplifies navigation
Easier to navigate than conventional menus, Quick Navi lets you confirm current camera settings at a glance and
promptly change settings with the cross keys and control dial/wheel. User-friendly icons further contribute to easy
operation that doesn't require looking into menus — a capability that especially comes in handy when using the optional
viewfinder.
Memory Recall (MR) memorizes combined settings
Whenever you find a perfect combination of camera settings for a certain type of shooting situation, you can save it
in memory by using the Memory Recall mode. Should a similar situation arise, you can immediately activate the saved
combination via dial. This mode can memorize up to three groups of settings (including exposure modes, shutter speed,
Drive mode, ISO, White Balance, Metering modes, etc.).
Grid lines support balanced compositions
You can display grid lines on the LCD to support more accurate horizontal and vertical alignment of the camera with
walls, streets and other elements in your scene. There are three styles to choose from (Rule of 3rds Grid Line, Square Grid
Line, and Diagonal + Square Grid Line). For extra assistance, the Dual-axis Digital Level Gauge can be used to check for
camera roll and pitch.
Finer focusing via MF Assist and Peaking functions
During manual focusing, use MF Assist to enlarge the displayed image up to 11.7x (approx.) and more clearly see the
results of your finest focusing adjustments. A Peaking function can also be activated to enable focusing confirmation at a
glance by colorizing the most sharply focused areas.
More natural gradations through D-range Optimizer (DRO)
In difficult lighting conditions such as backlit scenes, DRO analyses and corrects your image in real time to achieve
smoother, more natural gradations with more detail in the highlights and shadows that more closely match what you see
with your naked eye. You can choose the amount of correction up to 5 steps and even apply DRO during continuous
shooting to achieve better results during sports photography.
White balance versatility for desired color tones
Auto White Balance (AWB) produces more natural colors by compensating for the type of lighting in your scene. The RX1
/ RX1R also provides a full range of white balance presets (Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent, etc.) a Color Temperature
& Color Filter function, and Custom white balance adjustment options. You can even intuitively adjust white balance on
a chart — in the amber-blue and green-magenta directions — during real-time monitoring of your scene* to achieve
desired colors. * When a flash is used, the color tone can be adjusted after the image is shot.
