Wide zoom capability in a compact body
The 24-200 mm high-magnification zoom lens provides superior image quality. Designed to achieve maximum resolution and clarity throughout the zoom range, it offers remarkable telephoto capability in a compact size, for expanded creative expression.
Pocket-sized lenses
The ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T 24-200 mm F2.8-4.5 zoom lens covers a wide zoom range equivalent to two standard zoom lenses (24-70 mm and 70-200 mm), all in a very compact configuration.
Fast continuous shooting at 20 fps with high-precision AF/AE tracking
The new fast image sensor offers continuous shooting at speeds of up to 20 fps5, and the camera tracks subjects with AF/AE calculations at up to 60 frames per second5, even when they move unpredictably or at high speed.
Capture without underexposure for uninterrupted monitoring
With blackout-free shooting, you can monitor your subject's movement without interruption on the camera's LCD screen or viewfinder, with screen display updates at 60 fps to reduce lag.

New Single Burst Shooting Mode
The new single burst shooting function captures even very fast action, such as when a racket hits the ball, capturing seven shots in quick succession at selectable speeds of 90, 60, or 30 fps. It allows you to capture decisive moments that would otherwise be very difficult, and it can also be used with the self-timer. JPEG and RAW image formats are supported.

Wide coverage and fast autofocus speed
The RX100 VII features top-notch AF with 357 phase-detection points covering 68% of the frame. These are complemented by 425 contrast-detection AF points, while AF acquisition is achieved in just 0.02 seconds, the fastest speed in the world.

Real-time tracking for moving subjects
Real-time tracking uses subject recognition algorithms (AI) that leverage color, patterns (brightness), subject distance (depth), and face/eye information to track your subjects wherever they move. Maintaining continuous, steady focus on a moving subject helps you capture every important moment of action as it unfolds, whether you are shooting photos or movies.
Real-time Eye Autofocus
Advanced eye detection and tracking performance from Sony is the secret to beautiful portraits. Real-time Eye AF detects human eyes and maintains focus as the subject moves, allowing for compositional freedom. With the ability to choose focus on the left or right eye.
Real-time Animal AF
Real-time eye autofocus is available for animals as well as humans. Perfect pet portraits are easier than ever.
Excellent low-light shooting with high resolution
The large 1.0-type image sensor features a resolution of 20.1 megapixels, with back-illuminated technology and an improved standard ISO range of 100-12800. High levels of perceived image resolution and low noise contribute to exceptional image quality with realistic-looking textures.
Excellent color and texture reproduction
The new image sensor and image processing algorithms of the camera achieve more realistic textures and colors. In particular, skin tones appear natural, while the vibrant colors of flowers are reproduced with increased accuracy.
Optical image stabilization for steadier shots
Capture high-quality images with compensation for camera shake during handheld shooting, even in low light or with a telephoto lens. The stabilization algorithm provides stabilization equivalent to a shutter speed 4 stops faster at 200 mm.

Anti-Distortion Shutter with Silent Shooting
The RX100 VII achieves shutter speeds up to 1/32000 sec., while the fast sensor readout helps reduce the rolling shutter effect when photographing fast subjects. There is also a silent shooting option1.
Soft Skin Effect and Other Effects
The Soft Skin effect reduces expression wrinkles and skin dullness, for better portraits. The "Creative Style" and "Picture Effect" options allow you to make fine adjustments to capture unique images.
4K HDR (HLG) High-Resolution Recording and Steady AF
The camera supports internal 4K movie recording (QFHD: 3840×2160) with full pixel readout, without binning. Smooth, stable AF is the result of improved algorithms, while real-time tracking and real-time eye AF (human eye) are now available for movies. Thanks to HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), you can enjoy HDR images by simply connecting the camera to an HDR (HLG) compatible Sony TV via a USB cable.
Advanced features for creators and vloggers
Upgrade your vlog channel with the user-friendly RX100 VII. The new touch tracking function for movies provides you with fast, easy AF you can rely on, while real-time Eye AF (human eye) ensures precise focus. Even when walking, the active image stabilization mode creates smooth 4K videos, and thanks to the tilting selfie screen and external microphone input, framing and audio capture are achieved without stress.
External microphone input for quality sound
Despite its small size, the RX100 VII includes a microphone input. The standard 3.5 mm input, highly appreciated by vloggers and professionals, provides the capability to capture professional-level audio for movies or vlogs.
Optimized image stabilization in 4K recordings
Capture smooth 4K videos with the supported Active image stabilization function. And for even smoother gimbal-like stabilization,17 simple movie editing is available in the Movie Edit add-on of the Imaging Edge app.
Vertical recording with metadata, for viewing from smartphone
Movie recordings with the camera in a vertical position can now be viewed in the same orientation on PC and smartphone, thanks to metadata added by the camera.
S-Log Support for Better Creative Expression
The RX100 VII supports S-Log3 and S-Log2 image profiles. Whether you need images with high dynamic range and a wide color gamut for post-production or a unique look straight from the camera, the RX100 VII is at your service.
Interval Shooting for Time-Lapse Movies
The interval shooting function performs continuous shooting at specified intervals of 1-60 seconds with automatic exposure tracking. The resulting time-lapse images can be previewed on the camera or as a movie on the computer.
One-touch electronic viewfinder access
The XGA OLED Tru-Finder features a resolution of approximately 2.35 million dots for bright, detailed high-contrast viewing. It offers quick access via the pop-up switch and retracts just as quickly when not in use.
Tilting screen for easy framing
The 3.0-type LCD screen, with a high resolution of 921 thousand dots, offers a 180° tilt upwards and approximately 90° downwards, for easy framing in selfie shots, as well as shots from high or low angles.
Touch function for smooth shooting
Simply tap the screen to start real-time monitoring for either photos or movies. Touch focus, touchpad, and touch shutter are also available.
Easy data management
Rate or protect images from deletion in playback mode, with optional button assignment. View continuous shooting images by the groups they were taken and delete or protect the groups with a single action.
Function Adjustment
You can assign separate functions for images and movies to the Fn buttons that activate them. Easily access frequently used functions and menu items when assigned through My Menu and My Dial.
