Discover a new realm of imaging excellence with a camera that redefines what compact can truly mean. The RX1R III is a triumph of engineering, pairing stunning optical performance with an ultra-compact, fixed-lens design. At its heart lies a 61.0-megapixel full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor, delivering breathtaking detail, remarkable sensitivity, and an expansive dynamic range. This back-illuminated sensor is coupled with a state-of-the-art BIONZ XR™ image processing engine, ensuring every texture and tone is faithfully rendered with extraordinary clarity and nuance.

The integrated design allows for micron-level precision in the alignment of the ZEISS® 35mm Sonnar T* lens and its focal plane. This synergy between lens and sensor, made possible only through a fixed-lens configuration, results in an image-making tool of rare finesse—capable of producing images of striking sharpness and subtle tonal gradation, all from a body that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.

Sony's renowned ZEISS® optics are at the core of this camera's appeal. The Sonnar T* lens not only delivers stunning resolution and contrast, but its placement has been meticulously optimised to draw every ounce of performance from the sensor. The fixed-lens architecture brings not only optical advantages but also contributes to the RX1R III's compact elegance—ideal for photographers who demand top-tier results without the burden of bulk.

Photographic expression is further enriched through Creative Look modes, offering twelve expressive presets including nostalgic film-inspired profiles like FL, FL2, and FL3. Each can be customised across eight parameters, giving you a powerful palette of colour, contrast, brightness, and sharpness settings, all accessible in-camera, without the need for external editing.

Whether you're up close or kept at a distance, the innovative Step Crop Shooting function lets you seamlessly toggle between 35mm (60 MP), 50mm (29 MP), and 70mm (15 MP) fields of view, maintaining impressive resolution at every angle. You can stay rooted to the moment while composing your shot with precision, even when your subject is out of reach.

Advanced exposure systems ensure skin tones appear lifelike and luminous under any lighting condition, be it harsh sunlight, deep shadow, or tricky backlighting. Stable, accurate AE adjusts intelligently for the most natural and flattering results, especially when photographing people.

In low light, the RX1R III remains steadfast. Autofocus remains fast and accurate down to EV-4.0, and the ISO sensitivity spans from 100 to 32,000, expandable to 102,400 for stills, allowing you to shoot confidently even in near darkness. The resulting files retain exceptional detail and minimal noise, thanks to Sony's gapless on-chip lens design and anti-reflective coating.

Where this camera truly steps into the future is in its AI-driven autofocus capabilities. Human pose estimation technology allows the camera to lock onto eyes, heads, and even entire body positions with uncanny accuracy, regardless of whether your subject is turned away, wearing sunglasses, or even a helmet. It doesn't stop at people; the RX1R III is also finely attuned to animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and aircraft. With subject recognition available for both stills and video, and a seamless [Auto] mode to intelligently select the correct target, you're free to focus solely on framing and timing.
