Sony RX1R III Compact Full-Frame Digital Camera - 61MP Exmor R Sensor (Black)

61MP Full-Frame Exmor R Sensor

Capture fine details with an industry-leading 61-megapixel sensor. Advanced technologies like gapless on-chip lenses, anti-reflection coating, and backside illumination ensure high sensitivity, dynamic range, and minimal noise, ideal for both low-light shooting and broad daylight conditions.

BIONZ XR Image Processing Engine

Sony’s latest BIONZ XR processor unlocks the full potential of the high-res sensor, delivering rich textures, accurate color, and fast response. It also enables instant menu operations and supports advanced AF and subject tracking, even during intensive real-time processing.

Exceptional Resolution and Bokeh

The premium ZEISS Sonnar T* 35mm F2 lens includes advanced aspherical elements, T* coating, and a 9-blade aperture to produce tack-sharp images and beautifully defocused backgrounds. From the center to the corners, every frame delivers brilliance and softness where it matters.

Built-in Macro Shooting Capability

Unlock creative close-ups with a minimum focus distance of just 20 cm and 0.26x magnification. A dedicated macro ring on the lens barrel allows seamless switching between standard and macro modes, perfect for fine details and textures.

Step Crop Shooting: 3 Focal Lengths in One

Switch between 35mm (60MP), 50mm (29MP), and 70mm (15MP) fields of view at the touch of a button, no lens change required. Maintain high image quality while gaining flexibility in framing, even when you can’t physically move closer to your subject.

Creative Look Presets and Lifelike Color

Choose from 12 Creative Look presets, including 3 film-style options. Customize tone, contrast, saturation, and more with real-time previews. Sony’s AE algorithm adjusts exposure intelligently for optimal skin tones and natural hues, whether your subject is backlit or under direct sun.

Low-Light Mastery: High ISO and Dynamic Range

Thanks to Sony’s cutting-edge sensor design, the RX1R III offers an ISO range of 100–32,000 (expandable to 102,400 for stills) and an impressive 15-stop dynamic range. Enjoy noise-free shadows, smooth highlights, and true-to-life tones, even in the darkest settings.

AI-Based Real-Time Tracking and Subject Recognition

The built-in AI processing unit enables powerful Real-time Tracking of humans, animals, birds, insects, vehicles, and airplanes. The camera’s [Auto] mode detects and selects subjects for you, so you can focus on framing while it handles precision focus.

Advanced Human Pose Estimation

Beyond face and eye detection, the RX1R III uses AI to track full-body movement, including head and torso positions, even when faces are obscured or turned away. Perfect for candid portraits, action shots, or subjects wearing sunglasses or helmets.

High-Density Autofocus System

Achieve precise focus with 693 phase-detection points, covering 78and of the image area. The Fast Hybrid AF system combines phase-detection and contrast-detection for quick, reliable tracking—even when subjects are small or move unpredictably.

Reliable AF in Near-Dark Conditions

Autofocus remains fast and accurate down to EV -4.0 (in AF-S mode, ISO 100 equivalent), making this camera a powerful tool for low-light and night photography without sacrificing precision.

Stunning 4K Video with Cinematic Profiles

Record 4K video at 30p or Full HD at 120p with rich detail and smooth motion. Active Mode stabilization ensures steady footage, while the S-Cinetone picture profile delivers a cinematic look straight out of the camera, perfect for content creators and filmmakers.
