Introducing the sleek all-in-one Cyber-shot RX100 III, a premium compact camera that features the large-aperture ZEISS lens with 24mm*1 wide-angle and a high resolution viewfinder.

- Bright F1.8-2.8 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T*1 (24-70mm) lens for brighter images and wider angle coverage
- 1” 20.1MP (effective) Exmor R CMOS sensor for extreme low-light shots
- An updated user interface that retains user-friendly features, with deep customisation options for manual operation
- Bright and clear built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) with ZEISS T coating and high resolution OLED display
- A 3.0-inch, multi-angle X-tra Fine LCD screen for easier self-shooting
- Wirelessly transfer data with NFC and Wi-Fi

Brighter Images, Wider Angle Coverage
The advanced lens expands your range of expression with the enhanced perspective of a wide 24mm focal length, 70mm lens with bright F2.8 telephoto shooting. This allows you to produce outstanding close-up performance as well as produce beautiful portraits with stunning background defocusing. You can also capture moving subjects in dimly lit settings. Legendary ZEISS® optics ensure superb edge-to-edge depiction, while a ZEISS® T1 coating reduces flare and ghosting, aspherical lens elements reduce aberrations as well as lens size, and a built-in 1/8 ND filter expands shooting freedom in bright scenes.

Never Miss A Detail Again
See more detail with a larger 20.1 effective MP 1.0-type Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and BIONZ X™ image processing engine that ensure bright, high-definition details and textures in all your photos and videos. Get four times better light capture with a back-illuminated sensor and three times more processing power than the previous BIONZ engine with the RX100 III.

Camera Functions To Fit The Owner
Between the wide variety of manual options and a custom button, you can quickly bring more creative control to every shot. Features such as MF Assist (enlarging the image) and Peaking (highlighting edges in focus) make it easy to incorporate manual focus in your shooting when you desire the added flexibility. Experience personalised control by assigning up to 42 functions to the "C" custom button to your exact preference and selecting shutter speed, aperture and more with the convenient lens-mounted control ring.

Frame Your Shots With Uncompromising Precision
Sony's high-contrast, high-resolution OLED Tru-Finder provides the uncompromising clarity and framing precision that serious photographers demand. Its advanced eyepiece optics are treated with a ZEISS T1 coating for bright, clear viewing from corner to corner, while an eye sensor allows instant shifting between the viewfinder and LCD monitor for stress-free shooting. The 1,440k-dot (approx.) viewfinder fully retracts when not in use.
