Settings include zoom magnification, white balance, exposure compensation, date, and grid lines. This enables quick switching of settings at the right moment.Sophisticated metal bodyThe sophisticated aluminum body is lightweight, slim, and strong.Auto portrait framingSimply photograph a person and Auto Portrait Framing will save an additional, optimally framed image in portrait or landscape orientation. Combining Face Detection and By Pixel Super Resolution technologies with rule of thirds, Auto Portrait Framing provides beautifully composed and appealingly balanced full resolution portraits.Auto HDR modeCaptures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle—and more range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot (up to 6 EV stops). Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects.)Face Detection/ Registration technologyThe camera can automatically detect and register up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize children or adults.Multi-aspect ratio recording for still imagesCapture still images in any of four aspect ratios — 1:1, 2:3, 4:3, or 16:9 (vertical to horizontal). This provided the freedom to choose a ratio that matches the scene or the specific shooting purpose.3.6x optical/7.2x Clear Image digital zoomMost digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom digitally doubles optical zoom for closer photos.Built in pop up flashEnjoy the convenience of flash photography everywhere you go.Four focusing modesThis camera has two Autofocus modes: Single-shot AF (AF-S) or Continuous AF (AF-C), which tracks moving objects. It also has Manual Focus for manual focusing freedom, and Direct Manual Focus (DMF), that first uses autofocusing to focus on the subject, and then allows fast and easy switching to manual focusing for even more precise adjustment.Digital level gaugeDigital level gauge to allow easier leveling of the camera.MF assist and peakingManual focus becomes much easier because peaking highlights the edges that are in focus in your choice of three colors (white, red, or yellow). This is especially helpful during macro or portrait photography where your focus setting can make or break your shot.Multi-frame noise reductionIn this mode, the camera automatically shoots multiple images and layers them to produce a single noise-free image. This method provides noise reduction equivalent to a 2-stop lower shutter speed while maintaining the same aperture setting. Since the Multi Frame NR mode can be used in combination with P/A/S/M modes, it expands the user’s shooting flexibility.Photo CreativityThe Photo Creativity interface enables you to easily enjoy the creative expression of SLR-quality digital imaging without complex jargon. Changes can be combined/ removed and viewed in real time on the LCD making it a breeze to make adjustments. Choose from several different Photo Creativity functions using the convenient control wheel and center button including; Picture Effect, Background Defocus, Color, Brightness, and Vividness.Picture Effect modeRealize your creative potential with Picture Effect, a fun and simple way to convert ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Effects are Soft Focus, Posterization, Retro Photo, High Contrast Monochrome, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, Soft High-key, Toy Camera, Pop Color, Partial Color, Watercolor Painting, HDR Painting, and Illustration.Creative Style settingsControl how the camera processes your images with six finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, B&W, Sunset, Portrait and Landscape. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation, and sharpness to your personal taste.Sweep Panorama™ ModeCapture expansive landscapes automatically. Press the shutter, sweep vertically or horizontally. The camera does the rest, continuously shooting images and stitching them together.Superior Auto modeGet cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using Backlight Correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.Intelligent Scene Recognition modeIntelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects 33 different types of scenes for photos and 44 scenes for movies, and then selects the appropriate camera settings. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep.

Review: Hints; especially for those shooting aperture priority. - I won't overcook the review, because of the many comprehensive and excellent reviews already posted. Just a couple of hints to use this incredible little camera. 1. Get a grip! This little puppy has a small gripping surface on the right, and may suddenly squirt out of your hand. Richard Franiec has a grip for sale on desertcart. It's metal and looks very well designed. Costly, though at about $40.00. I got a silicone grip on eBay for $21.00 it works great. It uses 3M stickon like the stuff that holds your auto badges on. I think a grip is a must. desertcart also sells a "flipbac grip" for about $10.00, and this appears almost identical to the one I ordered, but less costly. Should work fine. For those of you like me, who shoot mostly at aperture priority, here's a couple of things to save you time when setting up your camera especially for low light work without flash. 2. With the aperture priority setting, the rings, front and back, work the same and control aperture (when set to aperature). As you adjust the aperture, the speed follows to maintain the EV (exposure value). You can use either ring to adjust aperture; I prefer the rear one. At the bottom right of the LCD, aperture and speed are displayed. After you set your aperture for desired depth of field and/or light conditions, note the speed. If it is less than 1/8th sec, you'll need to up the iso. The camera's anti vibration system will give you a couple of stops, but, of course, won't stop artifacts from subject motion. Now how to set the function button to complete the scenario; Here's how mine is set. In the setup menu, under number 2 of the gear icon find the function setting. You have 7 functions to program optionally. I used 3. Set number 1 for iso, number 2 for white balance and number 3 for HDR to control shadows. When you press function the choices are displayed at the bottom of the LCD and selected by the rocker. Changes within each function are controlled by front or rear rings. Ready to take a picture: Set your aperture for desired depth of field using ring or wheel. a. Check aperture and speed at bottom right of LCD, If the speed is too low for a clear shot, press function and select ISO at the bottom of the LCD with the rocker. Increase ISO with the ring or rocker wheel till you get adequate speed for your aperture setting. With a large sensor at work, there is very little degradation below iso 1600. Once you press the function button, the front or rear wheels now control function button settings that are displayed at the bottom of the LCD. So rock to the desired function and ring to adjust within that function. b. Then select the white balance icon. If the screen does not look realistic, you can set it to one of the many temperature options. If none work out, use "custom". Then press the lower rocker to get the custom white balance grid and adjust accordingly with the rocker button. It's nice that the screen changes to reflect how adjustments will effect the shot. c. Last, if you want to exaggerate (or minimize) either contrast or shadows, select HDR and you'll get the HDR screen to allow more or less averaging of subject/background illumination. Very helpful for brightly lit subjects with dark backgrounds or vise verse. The camera will take 3 rapid shots, so be steady. Works well without a tripod, though if you set your ISO up enough. There are lots of other functions to select for your 7 slots such as picture effects, size, orientation, aspect ratio, exposure and flash compensation. If you use a function regularly, set it up and it'll be available at the bottom of the LCD when you press the function button. That's it. I found I could take pretty good low light shots with just these settings on aperture priority, getting depth of field and low light control within the understandable limitations of a camera having the RX100's focal length. It also has shutter priority, 3 memory programmable scenarios, and a fun to use panorama function as well. If depth of field is not an issue for outside shots, just use one of the auto settings. They work great, and the pictures have excellent depth and vibrancy in natural light.
Review: Very disappointed with this camera. - This is the first time (and last time) I relied solely upon reviews in desertcart to make a decision to buy a camera. I was in a hurry with a vacation coming up and saw all of the rave reviews, making claims such as how the camera took better photos than their Nikon D7000. I decided to buy it. My first comment is that I took it on a trip and kept it in my jeans pocket just like I have always done with pocket cameras. In the past pocket cameras have spent countless hours in my jeans pocket with no adverse consequence. Within 4 days with the RX100 I looked at the viewing screen on the camera and there was a scratch across the screen. My next complaint is the video. I have for comparison a much less expensive Nikon pocket camera that I bought about 3 years ago. From experience taking videos I know that you have to pan slowly if you want the audience to comfortably view a video. I found that with the RX100 if you panned, even at a slow pace, horizontal streaks would appear in the recorded video upon playback, which greatly detracted from the video. I also noticed that the camera was slow processing shots and would take much longer than my older Nikon pocket camera, causing me to miss shots. As far as the size of the camera, I think Sony overdid it making it too small. It felt uncomfortably small in my hands, and I just didn't like the feel of the camera. The camera has a feature which somehow transforms a shot that you intended to be in landscape mode into a portrait shot of one person in the photo. It would then produce for the final photo not the shot that you intended but instead a portrait shot of the one person. I even put it on Landscape mode to force the camera to take landscape photos and it still extracted portrait shots of the person in the photo, leaving out the rest of the shot. Another thing was that it was promoted how the screen had some special qualities which made it easy to view what you are photographing when out in sunlight. That proved not to be the case. I found it nearly impossible to see anything on the screen when I was outside in bright sunlight. Lastly, regarding the quality of the photos, it does not even approach the quality of a Nikon D7000, which I happen to own. From what I could see it was no better than the aforementioned Nikon pocket camera that cost half as much years ago. I tried to return the camera and first, since it was fulfilled through desertcart but used a third party seller, I was informed that there was a 15% restocking fee and that is payable even if the camera and all paperwork and packing materials are in perfect condition. Since my screen had a scratch I was told that there would be a 30% restocking fee. Then another person in customer service told me that it was damaged, all the way through to the LCD, and that they couldn't take it back. I looked this up and found that the seller was exaggerating the situation in that the actual LCD screen is protected by a plastic cover that can be replaced if you buy a new back for the camera. Also, some brief searching online revealed that the plastic cover for the screen for the RX100 is extremely easy to scratch, and that you should buy a protective film at the same time you buy the camera. At any rate, I ended up giving the camera to my daughter because I couldn't return it. It would be an understatement to say that I was very disappointed with this camera. To sum up, I received poor value for my money. Sony should cease production of this camera because it will hurt their reputation.

This is the first time (and last time) I relied solely upon reviews in Amazon to make a decision to buy a camera. I was in a hurry with a vacation coming up and saw all of the rave reviews, making claims such as how the camera took better photos than their Nikon D7000. I decided to buy it. My first comment is that I took it on a trip and kept it in my jeans pocket just like I have always done with pocket cameras. In the past pocket cameras have spent countless hours in my jeans pocket with no adverse consequence. Within 4 days with the RX100 I looked at the viewing screen on the camera and there was a scratch across the screen. My next complaint is the video. I have for comparison a much less expensive Nikon pocket camera that I bought about 3 years ago. From experience taking videos I know that you have to pan slowly if you want the audience to comfortably view a video. I found that with the RX100 if you panned, even at a slow pace, horizontal streaks would appear in the recorded video upon playback, which greatly detracted from the video. I also noticed that the camera was slow processing shots and would take much longer than my older Nikon pocket camera, causing me to miss shots. As far as the size of the camera, I think Sony overdid it making it too small. It felt uncomfortably small in my hands, and I just didn't like the feel of the camera. The camera has a feature which somehow transforms a shot that you intended to be in landscape mode into a portrait shot of one person in the photo. It would then produce for the final photo not the shot that you intended but instead a portrait shot of the one person. I even put it on Landscape mode to force the camera to take landscape photos and it still extracted portrait shots of the person in the photo, leaving out the rest of the shot. Another thing was that it was promoted how the screen had some special qualities which made it easy to view what you are photographing when out in sunlight. That proved not to be the case. I found it nearly impossible to see anything on the screen when I was outside in bright sunlight. Lastly, regarding the quality of the photos, it does not even approach the quality of a Nikon D7000, which I happen to own. From what I could see it was no better than the aforementioned Nikon pocket camera that cost half as much years ago. I tried to return the camera and first, since it was fulfilled through Amazon but used a third party seller, I was informed that there was a 15% restocking fee and that is payable even if the camera and all paperwork and packing materials are in perfect condition. Since my screen had a scratch I was told that there would be a 30% restocking fee. Then another person in customer service told me that it was damaged, all the way through to the LCD, and that they couldn't take it back. I looked this up and found that the seller was exaggerating the situation in that the actual LCD screen is protected by a plastic cover that can be replaced if you buy a new back for the camera. Also, some brief searching online revealed that the plastic cover for the screen for the RX100 is extremely easy to scratch, and that you should buy a protective film at the same time you buy the camera. At any rate, I ended up giving the camera to my daughter because I couldn't return it. It would be an understatement to say that I was very disappointed with this camera. To sum up, I received poor value for my money. Sony should cease production of this camera because it will hurt their reputation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review

La cámara llegó en perfecto estado. En cuantoa la cámaraestoy muy satisfecho. Tiene pracyicamente todos los controles de una reflex en modo manual. En semiautomatico hace una exposición muy buena, para cuando uno necesita fotos rápidas o no quiere uno estar moviendo los controles. El flash es muy bueno y esta excelente que se pueda doblar para luz de rebote. La calidad de las fotos es excelente, el desenfoque que se logra gracias a su apertura 1.8 me fascinó para ina camara de este tipo. La uso con mi Samsung galaxy para transferirle las fotos via cable mini usb en el cel. y compartirlas en tiempo real (con o sin edicion). La verdad es que salen tan bien, que solo en ocasiones las mejoro, casi nunca para corregir exposición. Muy satisfecho por su tamaño portable. En definitiva una cámara muy potente y prácticapara llevar y hacer fotos y conpartirlas vía cel. Inmediatamente o para hacer trabajos mas serios de edición en la computadora.
