Ultimate full-frame compact

Resolution reaches a higher peak

Full-frame CMOS sensor and fixed-lens design rise to new heights in the RX1R II compact camera with 42.4-megapixel1 resolution and advanced image processing. Speedy AF, a retractable electronic viewfinder and the world's first3 optical variable low-pass filter let you see how seamlessly cutting-edge performance and all-around convenience can co-exist.

Imaging innovation

High-res, full-frame 42.4-megapixel1 sensor, BIONZ X™ and ZEISS® lens distinguish image detail.

Speedy, accurate Fast Hybrid AF

Its 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points greatly increase AF speed and coverage3.

First low-pass filter of its kind4

Optimize image quality with control of low-pass filter effect according to shooting intention/situation.

Retractable XGA OLED Tru-Finder™

Featuring ZEISS® T* Coating, as well as high 0.74x magnification5, definition, and contrast.

Tiltable LCD screen

Tilts up approx. 109 degrees, down approx. 41 degrees, at max to extend shooting angle flexibility.

Superior image quality

Startling depth in detail

A 42.4-megapixel1 back-illuminated 35 mm full-frame Exmor R® CMOS sensor, advanced BIONZ X™ image processing engine and fixed-lens design deliver unrivaled resolution and enhanced sensitivity. These technological advances keep images exquisitely detailed, natural, and well exposed all the way from their centers to edges, regardless of shooting conditions.

Greater AF speed, precision and coverage

Featuring 399 focal plane phase-detection AF points

With advanced phase-detection and contrast-detection capabilities, the Fast Hybrid AF system in the RX1R II provides unconventionally speedy, accurate wide-area autofocus coverage and tracking performance. You will be able to shoot better, clearer stills at every opportunity without missing a single moment.

World’s first3 optical variable low-pass filter

Control LPF effect to achieve your intention in a shot

You can choose from three optical variable low-pass filter effect settings9: Off (to prioritize image resolution), Hi (to reduce moiré and color artifacts) and Standard (to balance those priorities). Each in its own way takes optimal advantage of the image sensor’s 42.4-megapixel1 resolution to deliver the ultimate image quality according to shooting intention and situation.

Double-duty LPF control for added effect

How does the RX1R II provide double duty that would otherwise require more than one conventional camera? Splitting of incident light flux [1] is controlled by varying voltage to the liquid crystal [3] between low-pass filter 1 [2] and low-pass filter 2 [4] in order to activate, deactivate, and modify low-pass filter effect. LPF bracketing simplifies comparison of LPF effects.
