Full-frame 61.0-megapixel¹ Exmor R™ image sensor

Noise reduction, gapless on-chip lenses, anti-reflection optical coating, and other original technologies deliver high resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range.

Powerful BIONZ XR image processing engine

BIONZ XR delivers the full potential of the image sensor, rendering details and textures with outstanding fidelity. Processing is fast, too, so the camera responds instantly to user control.

Fixed-lens design with ZEISS® Sonnar T* lens

The integrated fixed-lens configuration allows the positions of the top-quality ZEISS® T* lens and its focal plane to be optimised to micron precision, achieving both high performance and compact overall dimensions.

Creative Look modes for expanded in-camera expression

Creative Look parameter combinations can be used as presets or customised via eight adjustable parameters. There are now 12 presets, including the film-style looks FL, FL2 and FL3, providing a wide range of variations in colour, colour depth, brightness, contrast and sharpness.

Instantly switch between three angles of view with Step Crop Shooting²

The Step Crop Shooting function allows switching between 35 mm (60 MP), 50 mm (29 MP), and 70 mm (15 MP) equivalents with a simple one-touch operation. Even when you can't approach the subject, you can shoot at 70 mm equivalent while maintaining a high resolution of 15 MP³.

Lifelike colour

Stable, accurate AE makes it possible to detect facial skin areas and automatically adjust exposure for optimum brightness and tone, even when the face is backlit, in strong direct sunlight, or facing sideways.

High sensitivity, low noise and outstanding resolution

The standard ISO range is 100–32000⁴ for both stills and movies, expandable to ISO 102400 for stills. Dynamic range at lower sensitivities is an impressive 15 stops⁵ that translates to smooth, natural gradations.

Detailed electronic viewfinder (EVF)

This high-resolution, high-contrast XGA OLED electronic viewfinder has approximately 2.36 million dots and a magnification of about 0.70x.

High-resolution monitor

The large 3.0-type 2.36 million dot (approx.) touch-sensitive LCD panel used in the RX1R III features the Sunny Weather mode for improved visibility in bright conditions, plus manual adjustment to match any ambient light. Touch menu operation is smooth and responsive. When the camera is in standby mode, swiping up on the monitor panel reveals the function (Fn) menu for fast access.

Vertical shooting information display

The LCD monitor and EVF shooting information displays automatically adapt to horizontal and vertical camera orientations⁷, enhancing clarity and simplifying operation in a wide variety of shooting situations.

Durability that inspires confidence

The RX1R III outer shell is made of a lightweight, rigid magnesium alloy that contributes to both performance and practicality. This high-tech material maximises body durability while enabling the camera's remarkably compact, lightweight design.

Shoot longer indoors or out

The NP-FW50 rechargeable battery pack allows up to 300 images⁸ to be shot on a single charge, and a USB Type-C® connector that supports USB Power Delivery (PD)⁹ allows fast charging from a compatible PD power supply.
