I would recommend shooting in manual where you have full control of all settings and set the ISO to what would be your highest preference. That way you can set the shutter speed to what you desire. If you’re shooting at 500 mm your aperture is always constant at F4. So you only have those two variables to worry about.

@ thanks! But I know that. I am talking about a problem the AUTO has: choosing a too slow shutter speed at a too low iso number for 500mm. Of course, I can do everything manually, but its like saying: the navigation system of my car took me to a wrong city and when I complain they say, well, then, if you want to go to another city buy yourself a map. The AUTO programm( Sony) knows I am making a foto at 500 mm and still gives me 1/125s at ISO 100. Thats my problem.

It is a great camera. Enjoy it!

It indeed is in the custom key shoot menu so if you press that button, you would go to the second page and down at the bottom of the second page you will see focus hold button so you click that and then on page 16 of 22 you’ll see zoom assist so select that and you should be all set

I’ll always have the Sony RX 10 but as well I have the Hasselblad X 1 D

It's an amazing camera and I couldn't agree more about its versatility.

Happy to help

They are well worth it!

Sorry about that. As for editing, I use Photoshop express app on my iPad Pro.

This is what works for me : 1) press the play button to bring up the photos and / or videos on the SD card. 2) press the menu button and it will automatically bring up the delete option. If there are separate days however you will have to delete each day one by one.

Also you can just format the SD card by going to the “toolbox” icon in the menu (#5) and going to the 5th page. But remember, this will delete everything without looking to see what you’re deleting.

I couldn’t agree with you more as I’ve been down the same road with Sony, Nikon, Cannon and Olympus. I do now own a used Hasselblad X1Dii 50C which I love just because of the simplicity, but also it makes me more aware of what to photograph, but also to do it carefully as the camera body and or the lens has no image stabilization.

Exactly!!😃

I can see why! It’s a great camera!

Glad you like them!

Welcome aboard!

It’s a shame they haven’t updated the camera, I’m hoping they will come up with a successor!

I loved your video and would agree based on the fact that the world population is currently aging which would mean looking for simple solutions as a posed to a heavy bag of gear, in addition all camera manufacturers are posting lower sales volumes, most believe that Smartphones are to blame yet there is a gap which this camera fills, the larger sensor and incredible zoom range whilst providing good image quality is something NO SMARTPHONE can reasonably do, but Sony most certainly can with the RX line. I sincerely hope that they wake up to this reality and reinvigorate the RX line. Sony produces sensors, lenses AND smartphones, thus if anyone is positioned to Stun and reinvigorate the camera market with a refresh of the RX line with current sensors and software as a technology demonstrator it’s SONY. I really hope that they see the massive gap that exists between Smartphones (growing market reaching stagnation as a photography tool )and Interchangeable Lens cameras (shrinking market) . Nothing beats the RX line in this gap. Case in point , Leica , despite the made in Germany price tag has had success with the Q1,2,3 , a market segment Sony was first to with the RX1 and could have dominated if not for the sudden loss of interest in continued development of the RX line. If they refocused their efforts and technology on the RX 1, 10,100 it would draw a line in the sand that no Apple or Samsung keynote speaker could honestly state that their new camera features are that fantastic if these small and powerful RX cameras are the impossible comparison as the only real distinguishing feature in their smartphone lineupare camera specs and screen size. Sony could reclaim this under-serviced middle ground most of us live in.

Yes I did.

Glad you’re able to achieve what you need with the RX10!

Glad you like them!

I’m so glad you found them useful.

I couldn’t agree more. I’m glad you like your RX 10.

I’m so glad you found it informative.

Glad it was helpful!

In the menu under tab number five, which is indicated by an icon that looks like a toolbox, go to the second page, which is Setup2, then go down to power save time, and you can set it up where it turns the power off from 10 seconds all the way up to 30 minutes with intervals in between if you want to save your battery power. To wake up the camera again just a light press on the shutter and you’re all set to go!

Glad it was helpful!

That’s why i left it there 😜

I hold up hope that they come up with something different as I think the segment is still needed to fill the void between smart camera phones and interchangeable lens cameras.

It's being discontinued because the RX series cameras are so good, that they are probably eating into sales of the higher-end Sony cameras AND lenses

That is a great place as well!

Just got one last month ... loving it so far ...

Is that official or still some rumors?

I’m OCD so I just like cleaning everything

You can remove it to clean it or easier clean the viewfinder glass, also there are some third party sellers that sells a slightly bigger eyecaps that will looks like swimming glasses to fully stick around the eye and let no light come inside (but I think it is useless if you wear glasses)

My pleasure

Nice info!

I use the AE-L button for focusing as I use back button focus and I use my left hand underneath the lens barrel and use my left thumb for that side button on the lens to as you say, unzoom it. Different strokes for different folks!

It sure is

True

I’m sure there’s still things that I haven’t found out, but I wouldn’t feel stupid as there’s so many things that this camera can do.

I keep watching all the gossip websites and also the Sony webpage itself and it hasn’t gone out of stock yet so for those who still wish to buy it I would make the jump now as I don’t think they’re gonna be making an RX 10 mark five

Indeed, I am back with the RX!

If you’ve seen my other KZbin videos, I’ve been through the major manufacturers looking for more megapixels, etc., and finally realizing that this camera is the best for me. And recently, after hearing some people saying that this summer might be the last for production, I purchased another one as a backup!

I could not agree more. Matter fact, I just placed an order for a brand new one through B&H Photo as I am afraid the rumors may be true that they’re discontinuing the camera this summer, which is kind of right around now. I’ll keep it sealed until I really need to use it, but I really can’t find anything else that fits this terrific package and if you watched most of my videos, I’ve gone back-and-forth with interchangeable lens cameras, and always come to the realization, as you have mentioned of the weight complexity and cost of those other systems.

Absolutely agree with everything you have written. I can't handle heavy gear and do a lot of long birding hikes, but after having my RX10iv for the past few years I am spoiled by the quality. I would buy a v in a minute if they released one. I am already researching other bridge cameras to see what is out there because if Sony stops bridge camera production I am going to have to sadly change brands because mine won't last forever. I really hope other brands see the opportunity to come out with a higher end bridge camera that will appeal to our market.

I’ve heard that also and I hope it’s not true, but if it is, I intend on buying another one just as a back up. That’s how good I think this camera is. My hope is if they do discontinue it that they replace it with something that’ll have lots of updates!

I definitely came to that same conclusion while also realizing money would’ve definitely be a factor.

I’m not inclined to give out my email, but I will be posting a new video shortly and I can tell you that a Nikon Z8 that I purchased and sent back because I think the RX10 Mkiv for my needs is a superior camera.

@@Jswcat ok sir, thank you.

Nice to know that you finalized this camera. Hopefully, you have already purchased it. Heard that production is now stopped. I am based in Bombay and purchased this camera about 5 months ago. Spent some time customizing the control buttons and the various settings for different use-case scenarios. Will be mainly using it for wildlife and travel photography.
