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.

Super potential. Super reality.
Inside the compact RX100 IV is the world’s first 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 motion, super-high-speed 1/32000 sec. Anti-Distortion Shutter, and handy 4K movies. Now explore infinite imaging freedom beyond imagination.

World’s first 1.0"-type stacked CMOS sensor with DRAM chip
Image sensor breakthrough brings you cutting-edge new functions — including up to 40x super slow motion and Anti-Distortion Shutter — that used to be available only with pro-use gear.

View life anew at 40× super slow motion
Catch what unfolds unseen before you. Once primarily on pro cams, extremely high-frame-rate (HFR) movie recording of up to 960fps produces super slow motion of momentary movements invisible to human eyes. This feature has various settings to suit active subjects, so you can make pro-style movies of a “hidden” universe of movement all around you.

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.

Up to 16fps continuous shooting without blackout
Despite high 20.1 megapixel count, the camera allows fast readout for continuous shooting up to 16fps without blackout — catching decisive moments in motion without missing some action.

Give your creative powers free rein
Enjoy clip 4K — super-real 4K movie feature for casual 4K shooting of up to 5 minutes. Pro-grade XAVC S codec ensures beautiful footage with high bitrate recording.

Indispensable feature for serious photographers
Retractable XGA OLED Tru-Finder is a standout feature in a camera of this size. Treated with ZEISS® T* Coating, this EVF provides corner-to-corner clear viewing.

Essential gear for unforgettable pictures.
Rather than weighing you down with extras, the new pocket-size RX100 IV gives you the pro-class essentials you need at hand. You’re equipped for go-anywhere freedom to capture marvellous moments in memorable images.
