Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III review: Video recording options
Videographers are likely to be drawn to the RX10 III for its ability to record 4K UHD footage, but the healthy range of supporting options reveals just how confident Sony is that this camera will be considered for more work.
Those wanting a good starting point for flexible post-production can choose to record using Gamma S-Log2, with a new Gamma Display assist mode to make it easier to assess this footage as it is being recorded. Videographers wanting to achieve a specific look in camera, meanwhile, can record using one of seven Picture Profiles. Each of these can have their black point, gamma, saturation and other parameters adjusted to taste.
Sony has also enhanced the Zebra pattern function included in previous models to make it easier to accurately assess highlight areas, and the option to attach time code to the file is also provided. Footage may also be output clean (i.e. uncompressed) through the HDMI socket.
Built-in microphones handle audio recording as standard, although a port at the side of the camera accepts a 3.5mm microphone. Furthermore, a headphone port underneath this allows audio to be monitored too, with levels displayed on screen.
