This enables users to capture high-quality photos and videos in any shooting conditions including the rain, underwater, in sandy or dusty environments or in a scene where impact force is applied to a camera body. It also has the super slow motion recording capability5 to capture and replay fleeting moments of action in an impressive way.
The RX0 opens up entirely new imaging possibilities, and inspires an unprecedented scope of expression from all who take it in hand.
In addition to using it as a single camera, multiple units can be combined to allow for multi-perspective shooting. Multiple-unit solutions, that stimulate creators' imaginations, can be realized using wireless connectivity6 for a high degree of freedom, or wired connectivity7 for even greater reliability.
The RX0 features 1.0-type stacked 15.3 MP (approximate effective megapixels) Exmor RSTM CMOS image sensor, and a ZEISS Tessar T* 24mm F4 fixed wide-angle lens, enabling high resolution images to be captured.
