Sony RX1R III Full Frame Digital Compact Camera

Professional-Grade Imaging in a Compact Body

At the heart of the RX1R III lies a 61MP full-frame Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor—the same high-resolution sensor found in Sony’s top-tier a7R V and a7CR cameras. Paired with the powerful BIONZ XR processor, this sensor delivers rich detail, exceptional clarity, and a remarkable 15-stop dynamic range. Native ISO support from 100–32000 ensures strong performance across various lighting scenarios, and the sensor’s copper wiring layer enhances data speed to support 14-bit image output.

Smarter, Faster Autofocus with AI Assistance

The RX1R III employs Sony’s latest AI Processing Unit, enabling intelligent subject recognition and fast, reliable autofocus performance. Real-time Recognition AF supports tracking for humans, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes—with precise eye and body tracking for optimal sharpness. AF accuracy is significantly improved across the board, with human eye AF up by 60% and animal tracking 40% more accurate than before. Fast Hybrid AF with 693 phase-detection points covers 79% of the full-frame area, providing smooth, precise focus even in low light down to -4 EV.

Creative Tools for Captivating Results

New to the RX1R III are Step Crop Modes, allowing users to simulate focal lengths of 50mm (29MP) and 70mm (15MP) while using the built-in 35mm lens. This enables tighter compositions without sacrificing too much resolution. Additionally, the camera introduces 12 Creative Look presets that provide in-camera aesthetic stylisation, from the nostalgic FL2 to the instant film-inspired IN mode—perfect for generating unique imagery straight out of the camera.

Accurate Exposure and Color in Every Shot

Utilising AI-powered Human Pose Estimation and dual visible/IR sensors, the RX1R III ensures accurate auto exposure and white balance, even in challenging lighting conditions such as direct sunlight or heavy backlighting. These intelligent algorithms detect skin tones and adjust exposure dynamically, resulting in more natural and flattering portraits with up to 20% improved metering reliability.

Designed for Everyday Carry

Despite its professional-grade specs, the RX1R III remains compact and elegant—ideal for travel, street photography, and everyday shooting. It retains the iconic ZEISS 35mm f/2 lens and benefits from a more refined body design with improved controls and battery life. With enhanced video recording, high-speed processing, and AI-powered features typically found in Sony’s Alpha lineup, the RX1R III is the perfect companion for turning everyday moments into art.
