It also includes a tiltable pop-up flash that allows bounce flash, which redirects light towards a given subject or scene. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 has a non-interchangeable Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens that features 3.6-times optical zoom. Raw image shooting is possible with this camera, which gives enhanced post-capture image editing options.
