New Delhi Oct 10 (IANS) Expanding its Cyber-shot RX10 series Sony on Tuesday launched a new RX10 IV camera in India starting at Rs 1 29 990.
Available from October 14 at Alpha flagship stores and major electronic outlets the camera claims to have the world s fastest 0.03 second high-speed auto focus (AF) with 315 focal-plane phase-detection AF points.
The device is capable of 4K movie recording with tiltable LCD screen housing "Touch Focus" and "Touch Pad" features.
Building on the success of last year s RX10 III the new camera features up to 24 frames per second (fps) continuous shooting with full AF/AE tracking.
It has 315 phase-detection AF points that rivals the fastest professional interchangeable lens cameras the company said in a statement.
The RX10 IV model delivers an unmatched combination of mobility and speed for imaging enthusiasts and professionals looking for the ultimate all-in-one solution.
For the first time in a Cyber-shot camera the RX10 IV model employs "High-density Tracking AF" technology.
This advanced technology concentrates AF points around a subject to improve tracking and focus accuracy allowing even the most unpredictable subjects including fast-moving athletes and birds in-flight to be captured with ease.
For convenience during image playback continuously shot images can be displayed in groups instead of individual shots.
The RX10 IV also has a high-speed "Anti-Distortion Shutter" (maximum shutter speed of up to 1/32000 second) that reduces the "rolling shutter" effect commonly experienced with fast moving subjects.
It helps shoot silently in all modes -- including continuous high-speed shooting -- when the electronic shutter is engaged.
A mechanical shutter mode is also available as well if required by the user the company said.
