Wow, even Sony themselves don't make comprehensive guide videos like this. Hundred thumbs up to you sir.
Thank you sir ;) I'm trying my best to help those in need out.... I'm really glad you are finding my content useful and informative! A big thank you for all the comments!!
5 years later, this video is still the best tutorial resource for DSC-RX100
i'm at 6 min and already amazed by how incredibly well you describe everything. It's so clearly explained, but also make me feel like i'm exploring a marvelous peace of creation and make me love the camera. Thank you, that's a talent of yours, that's amazing :)
I really appreciate your comments and I'm glad you are finding the video helpful Gabriel ;)
I bought the VI more than a year ago. I only used it as a point and shoot to get better resolution than my iPhone but never figured out how to use it beyond that. Your video is wonderful and perfect for a beginner like me. I'm looking forward to being able to finally understand how it functions and achieve better results than the iPhone! THANK YOU very much!
IPhone is crap. Got a Galaxy instead.
I bought the camera on the advice of a friend who knows a lot about cameras. I myself am a duffer with cameras & photography. This video EXCELLENT! Just right for a duffer like me. Thanks a lot. 👍🙏
Thanks for sharing :)
Bought this camera recently. Your video was extremely helpful. I really appreciate it! Your channel is now my go-to for Sony camera tutorials.
thank you! i just bought this camera 2 days ago on a whim because i needed a super small point n shoot that took DSLR level photos but was light weight without a huge footprint because i was planing on taking it with me for motorcycle camping where space is very limited. this video helped me out greatly mainly with navigation of menus and understanding each and every little icon.
Very good news and thanks for the comment!!
This video is fantastic. I look forward to viewing the other specific topics. I took this camera on an extended trip instead of a larger DSLR. I was so pleased with the versatility and quality. I shot in manual mode much of the time (even manual focus) and was pleased with the control I had of the images.
Awesome tutorial! I've had this camera for four months now,and have taken some great shots. Perfect for what my my particular camera usage needs are. This video will definitely help improve on my knowledge of using this camera. Thanksagain!
Great video 🙌🏼 and love how the links is in the description for the other videos. You making it real easy to learn.
Thanks Denzel ;) I really appreciate the comments and feedback on the links!!
Best video for starting out with the rx100m6, no other like it, Jay seems to understand that not all of us are great at using this camera so we need full descriptions, Great job
Great teaching video
This is without doubt one of the best instructional videos on You Tube. I've owned perhaps 20 different cameras over the years. I will soon buy both an RX100 vi and an RX10 iv. I have White's books and Friedman's books on both cameras. But I've learned more in 35 minutes from this video than I could have gotten from the books in a week. Subscribed to your channel, obviously.
Thank you! Your video helped me get acquainted with the camera quickly and easily. I'm coming from a standard point and shoot, and I really needed this tutorial. I'll be checking out your other vids! Again, THANK YOU!
I'm glad I stumbled upon this vid so I know you did a whole tutorial on the menu and functionality. I'm very new to photography. Never been big into it, but I just bought the VI last night after a month of research. I leave in April for a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine, over a 6-7 month period. And this is the camera I chose to take to vlog and take pictures of the adventure. These vids are gonna be a major tool for helping me figure this thing out.😅
Best video I have seen, Sony don't give you a manual thats any use at all. I'v had the camera a year now and was really struggling to understand the vast menu you get. This video has set me off on the right path to learn, can't tell you how grateful I am, Will be checking out all your other videos Graham
Thank you Graham for the very nice comments and I'm really happy to hear the video helped you out ;) Many more Sony How-To Videos Here: ua-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html
Thank you very much, very detailed guide. Just bought mine and your video was what i am looking for..
Can't believe how you can talk continuously for a half hour, and actually do a great job explaining the camera. Nicely done!!
Thanks and yeah, I can just ramble on and on sometimes it amazes me as well ;)
Just got the camera - thank you so much for this video! Very very helpful to get started using the camera.
You are very welcome and thanks for the comments!!
This is perfect, I needed this, thanks so much Jay!
Just bought a secondhand VI and couldn't be happier, or so I thought, and then I found your channel and
The Holy Grail of Sony RX100 VI tutorials!
Welcome aboard!
Excellent instructional video. Clear & concise, step-by-step review of features with good quality video of camera up close. Looking forward to additional videos.Thanks.
Thanks Rick ;)
Just here dropping some appreciation thank you for this video
Excellent first guide on this camera, thanks a lot Jason!
Got mine tonight, checked out a few videos to help me out... yours is the best one so far. Thank you so much! #subscribed #liked
Wow! Great video, thank you very much. You really helped me out in the understanding of this incredible camera!
Thank you!
Dude you are awesome! Thank you for taking time out to do this.
Best and most informative video I’ve ever come across. I’ve recently bought this model of Sony and I’m ready to explore away from Auto thanks to you.
Awesome and thank you for the comments!
Thanks for the great video tutorial.👍
I have come from a Sony A7iii and my first RX Camera will be the RX100 VII. Will be referring back to this video.
This was a fantastic introduction to the camera. Thank you so much.
Thanks, can you remind me the setting for landscape? I have the V, not the VI
Jay - I recently discovered your UA-cam channel - and just wanted to say thanks for the extremely thorough, highly informative videos. I really appreciate you sharing your in-depth knowledge combined with very “approachable” style.
Much appreciated Dan and I'm happy to help :)
Good overview and appreciate the detail. Helped me a lot.
I recently got the RX100m3, just found this video and Your chanel, very informative and helpful, thanks
Such a great video ...!
Stellar video Jay.
Thank you!! This is THE REVIEW of a new camera!!! There are tons of open box videos, which are not informative.
Thank you for the kind words, but My full Sony RX100 VI Review is actually Here: www.sonyalphalab.com/my-sony-rx100-vi-review-real-world-lab-and-tutorials/
Jay, GREAT video, and as a lifelong Canon dude who just bought his first Sony, I'll be referring to it a lot. One suggestion: add timecodes to your description. For example, I was wondering how to shoot HDR video. I figure it's in your video somewhere, but as a reference, it would be easier to be able to just jump to a specific topic.
thanks for the video! it's so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
You hve saved me hours of reading the manual. Thank you!
Thank you Mary for the comments and kind words ;) I'm really glad I could save you some time!
October 2019 just bought great video it was helpful

You are very welcome, and thanks for the comments!!
Best RX 100 VI Guild ever, Just brought one, and been disappointed, looking thigh the menu to try and find something, killing. I ended up use my note 8 phone instead sick I really learnt so much, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am not such a fool.
I'm really glad the guide helped you out! Be sure to practice using various settings and you will have the camera functions down in no time ;)
Great video, thank you!
Great tutorials!!
Thank you!
Excellent vid thanks!
Thank you!!
I just got this camera and when I say I’m a dumbass with photography. I mean it. Watching this makes me feel more comfortable with this camera, I actually bought it a year ago and I am just getting it out of the box in the past week and experimenting. This video is awesome. I’m going to watch it over and over.
I bought it 3 weeks ago. and I love it. it's my first camera

Is this the same menu as the RX100Va..?because I ordered that camera yesterday..for "only"...650$..
@@gixxerboy555 Yes it is and best of luck with the camera ;)
I was wondering if there was anyway to increase the length of time for the F
HFR setting? As in, I’d like to capture 15-20 minutes at a time. If not, is there a camera out there that will capture 480 rate for a long period of time?
@@nosajallen No there is not anyway to increase the time beyond the defaults of a couple a seconds.
good stuff just got my rx100 vii
now im sold out for this camera..thanks a lot!
Great guide!
Thank you :)
Great video => liked and subscribed
Hi, could you please make a video on the best settings for the Sony Rx100 VII, thank you
Very helpfull, thanks
You're welcome!
Hey @JaySonyAlphaLab Thanks for making these videos on the Sony RX100 line. I find them to be very informative as well as the production value is done very well. I've been trying to understand my new Rx100 VA better but I haven't found much on youtube for it. Would you mind giving some advice on if I should ascribe the RX100 V videos info for the VA, or would it be closer to the VI due to the updates that were given to the VA. Thanks
Do you have a video on how to set-up the remote feature for this camera?
Thanks man, this is awesome for a complete noob like me
Great Help!!
Awesome, thanks for the comment!
Love this video, it is a great start for me with my new Sony RX100 VI. I do have a question, for some reason the monitor image seems to be out of the screen a bit so I cannot see properly the icons on the right hand side when looking at the menu settings. How do I fix this to be centered? Hope you can help.
Glad I came across this beginners guide and your youtube channel, very informative! One question on the camera, I wanted to use it for golf swings to then review the video in playback mode frame by frame, when I pause the video and select the 'next frame' it jumps forward a full second. Do you know if there is any way to change the settings so that it actually goes to the next frame or change the timescale jump so that it is less than 1 second? Thanks :)
Great video..
Hey Thanks Dude! This is great little video that I think is going to save a couple hours of dickin around. Kudos, Gracias, and/or I owe you a beer!
Much appreciated Alex ;)
Great tutorial!! I’m vacationing Cairo soon. Which camera would you bring, Sony RX10 iiv or the Sony RX100 vii?
Awesome video. So how well does this camera (or any camera) do when shooting a video, and lets say it’s in Auto, Program, or Aperture mode and the camera has to pick a shutter speed... does it pick a shutter speed that obeys the 180 degree shutter speed rule, or is it close to that? What about when zooming out, does it keep the shutter speed close to the 180 rule, or goes the shutter speed increase as if its following the focal length rule.
It’s always perplexed me on why these cameras don’t have a menu option to force the 180 degree rule (if possible to obtain). It could basically use the shutter Priority logic, and force the shutter speed to be 1 / 2 x FPS
Beginning subscriber. Do you have a video on your preferred settings for shooting quality pictures?
Hi Jay,
When I am in Aperture Priority mode, it seems that the F stop only goes up to 11. Can it fo up any further? Thanks
Jay, Great help! I am having a problem getting the camera to connect to my Iphone. Can you explain the WiFi and Bluetooth setups sometime? Thank Again!
same here - many options and manual is really no help.
Thanks for the great video. Can you do a video on how to use zone focus on RX100 VI please? The focus distance/depth of field scale look bit strange (unit of measurements) not sure if it is firmware issue.
Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean, sorry. I just played with the zone focus and you you can basically just move it around a little and then lock it into a specific "zone". I don't see the focus/ depth of field scale so I think I'm missing something....
Great tutorial. We just one but I do not see a time lapse mode. Does it has that option?
Great video! I'm using rx100 V, it's a little different than this one. For the video format, what's the difference between "mp4" and the one you recommended? And how to shoot slow motion video?
Very nice video, thank a lot. You me mentioned links for zoom and focus features. I could not find the link under the video. Could you pls let us know how we can reach these videos? Thanks again.
Thank you and Here is the auto focus tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/fXKhJgnb9mg/v-deo.html I don't have one for zoom, sorry...
Jay, this was very helpful. I just got the Sony RX100 VI. I also have a Sony a6000 with a Sony 50-200 lens. Can you tell me key differences other than size/weight on how optimal capability of shots between the two? Can you help me understand this?
What setting would be recommended for concerts? I’m usually close to the stage. Thanks for the advise!
Thank you so much! This is really helpful! I do have a question. When I review a photo and then click on Fn, depending on the photos, sometimes they have some black or white flash on the image. What does supposed to mean? Have you ever encountered that?
Yes, I believe what you are describing is the camera showing you where the blown highlights and shadows are. In other words, the actual black and white parts of the image. This helpful for exposure adjustments if you are trying to capture more detail in either the highlights or the shadow. If you see blinking in one or the other, you can then adjust the camera to fine tune the exposure as desired.
I just got this camera - thank you for the walk-through! I'm curious, though... how do I hook this up to my phone to transfer photos now that Sony is no longer supporting their app? I'm hoping there's a work-around!
Hello, You will need the Imaging Edge Mobile App for your phone. Launch that app and you can then connect your camera/ phone so you can easily transfer photos.
Great video, learned a ton of thinks. How can I use my RX100as a webcam, either via USB or HDMI ?
HDMI would be the easiest way via a Camlink geni.us/6aodP for example...
Great video. Got my camera yesterday & this has helped so much.
I have a question & hope you can help. I followed through the menu with you & on the record settings it will only let me go to 25p 100M. It doesn’t give me a greyed out option of 30p 100M, as you recommend. Is this to do with the memory card? I’ve just bought a 256gb integral ultimate pro SD card but have a feeling that might be where the problem lies. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Your camera is set to PAL mode, Mine was set to NTSC. It depends what region your camera was designed for. MENU → (Setup) → [NTSC/PAL Selector] → [Enter]
Great video, thanks! If im using the viewfinder, can I switch the monitor off (aim: to save battery)
Thanks, Julie
Thanks!
Thank you very much DJ :)
Thanks so much, great video!!
compared to LUMIX LX100 II, which one is better?
Lumix I more of a hands-on type of camera, where the Sony is a much more compact camera where you have to change settings using mostly buttons and then take the photo. Both cameras are amazing honestly in the real world so it's just a matter of preference. Can't go wrong with either in my opinion, Jay
Thank you, Jay for your response to my question below. Another question….can anyone recommend a camera case for the rx100vi that has a grip on it? The ones I have found won’t work because of the grip. Thank you so much.
I don't think they make any like that, because the case itself tends to act like a grip a lot of the times depending.
Thank you .
Welcome 😊
I greatly appreciate all the information. It would be helpful if you slow down and elaborated on some of the features. Those of us that are just starting don’t have the experience that you do.
I really appreciate the comments and feedback :) I totally understand what you are saying, but the video would be hours long is the problem I face.... Have you tried pausing as you watch and play with your camera? Also, if you have any specific questions, please free free to ask! In addition I have a ton more videos explaining specific features in more details here: ua-cam.com/play/PLFE32AB0363640EDF.html All the Sony cameras work the same pretty much, so when looking thru the list it doesn't really matter which camera I'm using for the given tutorial ;) Jay
Fave stars 👏
Hi
I have a question!
how can I use this camera to live streaming or video conversation on my computer ?
i am using windows computer
thnaks
Can I use this camera (or RX100 VA) to shoot northern lights? What's the best settings or mode for it?
I remember the great compact Olympus camera xt3 sensor 1984 .Sony is the same compact and smart camera at this time
Thank you
Hi Jay,
I just got my Sony Cyber Shot RX 100 VI
I have 1 question: l have the focus area set at Lock-on AF Expand Flexible Spot. If I go to the menu and to Focus Area,I can see the box and I can move it it up and down. But as soon as I take a picture, it seems that I cannot move it again unless I go into the menu and focus area again. So how do I keep it active so that I can access the square again for the next picture.
Thank you very much for this great video. I have just one additional question? Is it possible to charge the camera while shooting? It is a very useful option. My old a6000 couldn’t but my a6300 is able to and I love this. Thanks in advance.
Hello and thanks for the comments! Yes, you can use the camera and power it via the USB cable. I not 100% sure if it charges at the same time, but it does power the camera via USB which is awesome!!
@@Jason_Hermann Thank you very much!!
@@Jason_HermannI agree. Really awesome! Thank you very much!!
24p 100M on my camera is NOT an option for me in 4K setting.. could my camera be bad? a few of the recording settings aren't available for me
What options do you have?
@@Jason_Hermann thanks for the prompt reply.. I was able to switch it by changing it from PAL to NTSC
You need a faster memory card to access it.
@@King__Louie no that wasn't the problem...... i fixed it
What a great video. Can you tell me how to increase the saturation of the photos? Compared to the DSC-HX90V, the pictures of the RX100 MVI are faded with few vibrant colours.
Thank you for the help
You can change your creative style to Vivid and that will fix that ;) MENU → (Camera Settings1) → [Creative Style]. helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1750/v1/en/contents/TP0001140462.html?search=creative
@@Jason_Hermann thanks a lot
Thank you for your video. When I go into the movie mode it tellsmeeither switch toUHS-IU3 or change record settings.What does this mean? What do I need to do?
Hi John, It sounds like you need a better faster memory card to record in 4k video quality. I have this affordable SanDisk 64GB SDXC card (amzn.to/2Wwe5e3) and it works awesome! If you can’t get a new card and still want to record, you will need to change the settings to 1080 @ 24, 30, or 60 frames per second. 1080 @ 120 frames per second and 4k require the faster card.
I hope that helps,
Jay
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Thank you Alex!!
Thank you for the tutorial!
But How do you transfer the photos to and iPhone wireless... I downloaded the playmemories app and I can’t do it! Please help!!!
Have you tried the Sony Imaging Edge Mobile App?
