Just like an SLR or high-end compact system, the camera offers a setup dial which can be reached with the right-hand thumb. The third lens ring is used for manual focusing. The second ring (which is more a switch) toggles between two focus settings, Macro (between 25 and 30cm, or 9 to 12”) and Standard (1 ft to infinity).
The first (nearest the camera body) allows the user to change aperture size manually. The lens showed very good performance in our tests. The fixed lens is a 35mm f/2 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T*, which means that it’s part of the famous and classic Zeiss-Sonnar series that incorporates a special, high-class coating (“T*”). An external recharger and additional batteries are offered as an option. It’s equipped with a USB recharger and the user is forced to recharge the battery in the camera. Most users will also be surprised by the battery recharger system of the RX1. Just like the camera itself, it is quite expensive. Sony does offer an optional optical viewfinder, which is mounted on the hot shoe. The resulting image preview and the representation of the menu structure is crisp and clear. The screen is very large (3”) and offers a very high resolution (1.28 million RGB dots). In its stead Sony offers an LCD screen on the back, similar to what you’d find in an entry-level compact camera. The basic camera concept combines elements of digital compact cameras with features of classic viewfinder cameras, but leaves out an optical or electronic viewfinder. The camera offers a USB interface for data transfer, an HDMI port for image and video presentation on HD screens, and a 3.5mm jack for an external microphone for better sound when recording videos.
