help Sony RX100 Mark V FAQ
What is the difference between the Sony RX100 Mark V and the Mark VI?
The RX100 V has a 24-70mm equivalent f/1.8-2.8 lens, while the Mark VI extends to a much longer 24-200mm equivalent zoom at a slower f/2.8-4.5 aperture. The Mark VI also adds a touchscreen with touch-and-drag autofocus, but the Mark V's faster lens is significantly better in low light.
Can the Sony RX100 Mark V shoot 4K video?
Yes, the RX100 V records 4K video at up to 30fps by oversampling from a 5.5K readout for improved detail. It also offers a high frame rate mode reaching up to 960fps for super slow-motion, though image quality degrades at the highest frame rates.
What kind of autofocus does the RX100 Mark V have?
The RX100 V introduced a 315-point phase-detection autofocus system covering approximately 65% of the frame, which was a major upgrade over the contrast-detect AF on the Mark IV. This makes it noticeably better for tracking moving subjects than earlier RX100 models.
