Effortlessly clear shooting
The sun dipping below the horizon, an epic mountain peak view, capture it all with our Cyber-shot™ RX100 II. The new 1.0 type back-illuminated Exmor R® back illuminated CMOS sensor and F1.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* coating lens ensures bright, detail and low-noise photos.

Appreciate the finer details
It's all about the sensor, and bigger is definitely better. The brand-new 1.0-type back-illuminated Exmor R® CMOS sensor with 20.2 effective megapixels captures light more efficiently for detail-packed images with low noise.

Brighter lens for clearer images
The F1.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* coating lens has a wide aperture that lets in more light. It's key to limitless creative effects, sharpen the focus of a subject against a smoothly-blurred background. An 8mm to 100mm focal length and a 3.6x zoom pulls you closer to a shot.

Explore every angle
When beautiful scenery inspires you, view and frame it all with the flexibility of a tiltable LCD screen that works in bright sunlight. A strong yet extra fine LCD screen packs each pixel closely together, so you can shoot in the sun with no problem.

Embrace a wireless freedom
Forget cables, shoot and share in no time. Place your camera against an NFC smartphone, tablet or TV to share photos in an instant – it’s simple with NFC one-touch connection. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you send pictures to your smartphone to upload on Facebook® or Twitter™.

Take control
Fine-tune an image with full control using automatic and manual exposure modes. Surrounding the lens, a smooth control ring allows fingertip adjustment of exposure, zoom, picture effect and other functions. High shutter speed lets you shoot moving subjects in crisp detail.
