Sony RX10 V Arrives in Malaysia: AI-Powered Autofocus, 24-600mm ZEISS Lens and 4K 120p Video in One Versatile Camera

Sony has officially unveiled the RX10 V, the latest fifth-generation model in its renowned RX10 series of all-in-one cameras. Designed for hobbyists, travel enthusiasts, wildlife photographers and content creators, the RX10 V combines a powerful zoom lens, advanced AI autofocus and professional-grade video capabilities into a single compact body.

Featuring a ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T 24-600mm F2.4-4.0 lens* with 25x optical zoom, the RX10 V eliminates the need to carry multiple lenses. From expansive landscapes and portraits to distant wildlife and sporting events, the camera is built to handle virtually every shooting scenario.

One Camera That Covers Every Shot

At the heart of the RX10 V is a 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor with approximately 20.1 effective megapixels, paired with Sony’s latest BIONZ XR™ image processor. Together, they deliver excellent image quality with impressive detail, reduced image noise and faithful colour reproduction, even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.

The versatile zoom lens offers an equivalent focal range of 24mm to 600mm, allowing photographers to move effortlessly from wide-angle scenes to super-telephoto subjects without changing lenses. Macro photography is equally impressive, with focusing distances as close as 3cm at 24mm and approximately 72cm at 600mm, making it suitable for capturing flowers, insects and intricate details.

Sony has also included 12 Creative Look presets, enabling users to achieve different colour profiles directly in-camera. For greater flexibility, photographers can further customise each preset to match their creative vision. The updated D-Range Optimizer (DRO) now offers settings up to Level 8, helping recover shadow details while maintaining highlight information, especially in high-contrast scenes.

AI-Powered Autofocus for Every Subject

One of the biggest upgrades in the RX10 V is its dedicated AI Processing Unit, bringing Sony’s latest Real-time Recognition AF technology to the RX10 lineup.

The intelligent autofocus system can accurately recognise and track:

• Humans
• Animals
• Birds
• Insects
• Cars
• Trains
• Airplanes

The AI also incorporates advanced human pose estimation technology, allowing it to continue tracking people even when their faces are partially hidden by helmets, sunglasses or when they are facing away from the camera.

For fast-moving subjects, the RX10 V performs AF/AE calculations up to 60 times per second, enabling blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus and auto exposure tracking. Whether photographing wildlife, sports or fast-paced action, photographers can confidently capture decisive moments without interruption.

Sony also introduces a Continuous Shooting Speed Boost function, allowing users to adjust burst shooting speed instantly while shooting.

Professional-Level Video Features

The RX10 V isn’t just designed for photography. It also offers an impressive range of video capabilities aimed at filmmakers and content creators.

The camera supports:

• 4K recording at up to 120fps
• Smooth slow-motion playback up to 5x in 4K
• Active Mode image stabilisation
• AI-powered Auto Framing
• S-Cinetone™ cinematic colour profile
• S-Log3 for professional colour grading
• Support for up to 16 imported LUTs
• Time-lapse recording
• Shot Mark for easy still image extraction

Audio quality is equally impressive thanks to the Multi Interface Shoe™ with digital audio support, allowing compatible Sony microphones to transmit high-quality digital audio directly to the camera.

Improved Handling and Longer Battery Life

Sony has redesigned the RX10 V following the ergonomics of its Alpha mirrorless camera series. The refined grip, improved button layout and responsive multi-selector provide a more intuitive shooting experience.

A major upgrade comes in the electronic viewfinder, now featuring a 0.5-type Quad-VGA OLED EVF with approximately 3.68 million dots and 0.78x magnification, delivering exceptional clarity when composing images.

The camera also includes a 3.0-inch LCD monitor with approximately 1.62 million dots, offering improved brightness and sharpness for reviewing photos and videos.

Powering the RX10 V is Sony’s NP-FZ100 rechargeable battery, capable of delivering approximately 630 still images per charge, representing over a 50% improvement compared to its predecessor.

Additional features include:

• Dust and moisture-resistant construction
• Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz)
• USB Type-C connectivity
• 4K 30p live streaming support
• Compatibility with Sony’s Creators’ App for wireless transfers, remote shooting and firmware updates.
