Superspeed data readout opens new worlds of "unreachable" imaging. World's first*1 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip Sony's new image sensor captures fleeting motion beyond human vision - with superspeed Anti-Distortion Shutter at max. 1/32000 sec. and up to 40x super slow motion*2. Five times faster readout*3 for outstanding performance Meet the marvel of ingenuity inside both the RX10 II and RX100 IV: Sony's breakthrough new image sensor that attains superspeed readout over five times faster than conventional models*3. How is this possible? Such stunningly fast readout of full-pixel data is due to two structural innovations. First, there's an inventive stacked design for extended capacity. The circuit section has been largely expanded through its multilayer structure for a dramatic improvement in signal processing speed compared with a conventional image sensor. Moreover, the sensor has a memory-attached design, with a DRAM chip newly added on the back of the base plate. This memory temporarily stores mass volumes of image output data at high speed to prevent disruption of data flow. You'll experience this remarkable advance in outstanding imaging performance. *1 The world's first as 1.0-type sensor with memoryattached design, as of the announcement date, based on Sony survey. *2 Sound cannot be recorded when shooting slow motion. An SDXC memory card of Class 10 or higher is required. *3 According to a simulation of the same electronic shutter of up to 1/32000 sec. combined with the Exmor R CMOS sensor employed with RX10 or RX100 III. 6 1.0-type back-illuminated CMOS image sensor Newly developed 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip Difference in structure Pixel area Hi-speed signal processing circuit Pixel area Hi-speed signal processing circuit DRAM chip (memor y) Difference in readout speed Pixel area Hi-speed signal processing circuit Over 5× faster readout Image processing engine Pixel area Hi-speed signal processing circuit Image processing engine DRAM chip (memor y) See with new imagination. View life anew at super slow motion*1. Super slow motion*1 up to 40x - a pro-style feature at your fingertips Exclusively equipped with the new superspeed Exmor RS CMOS sensor, both RX10 II and RX100 IV provide super slow motion*1 shooting to catch what unfolds in split-second detail unseen before you. Once primarily on pro cams, extremely high-framerate (HFR) movie recording of up to 960fps*2 produces highquality super-slow-motion movies of momentary movements invisible to human eyes in real time. This feature offers various settings for slower slow motion to suit active subjects. The result is pro-style movie expression of a "hidden" universe of movement all around you. How super slow motion*1 works In simplest terms, when you shoot movies at high frame rate (HFR) and record/play back footage at normal speed, the movie appears to be slow motion. The new stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor gives both new cameras the capability of shooting at the maximum high frame rate (HFR) of 960fps*2. This provides super slow motion*1 that appears to be up to 40 times slower than normal motion because the minimum frame rate is 24p*2. (Two seconds of movie footage would take about 80 seconds to play back at 40x slow motion*1.) Using the mode dial to select HFR, it's easy to create movies containing splitsecond moments of action. You can choose 960fps, 480fps, or 240fps*2 shooting frame rates, and 60p, 30p, or 24p*2 recording formats, for the most suitable slow motion recording to suit the speed of a moving subject. The "end trigger" mode lets shooting begin 2 or 4 seconds before the MOVIE button is pressed, enabling you to catch the decisive moment. So... what do you want to capture? You have a world of choices. *1 Sound cannot be recorded when shooting slow motion. An SDXC memory card of Class 10 or higher is required. *2 In NTSC mode. Frame rate is 1000/500/250fps and recording format is 50/25p in PAL mode. Super Slow Motion Videos https://www.youtube.com/c/ImagingbySony 1 sec.
