Shooting flexibility is ensured by the ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T * 24-200mmviii F2.8-4.5 lens with high definition zoom lens, which makes her RX100 VII the ideal choice for every possible photography scenario and every potential user, from photography enthusiasts to professionals.

New performance standards AF in a compact body

Η RX100 VII offers the world's top 355 focal plane phase detection AF points and 425 contrast detection AF points. In addition, thanks to a new optimized lens motion control system, the fastest AF acquisition time in the world, 0,02 seconds, is achieved. An important step in AF / AE monitoring performance during continuous shooting, which means that the camera performs AF / AE calculations up to 60 times per second and records fast motion at 20fps with AF / AE monitoring, ensuring that every moment is captured with fast and precise focus

In addition, the image sensor shoots without blackout for full view, even when shooting continuously at 20fps, the same experience as the Alpha 9. The RX100 VII also launches a new Drive Mode function "Single Burst Shootingx" , to capture the perfect high-speed snapshot at up to 90fps in JPEG / RAW format using the anti-distortion shutter. "Single Burst Shootingix" allows the photographer to capture fast-moving subjects and deliver 7 photos at 90fps, 60fps or 30fps while it is like taking a single shot, so the user can choose the perfect shot.

For the first time in a compact camera, the RX100 VII presents advanced features "Real-time Tracking" and "Real-time Eye AF".
