Sony expands its camera range in India

- CORRESPOND­ENT

Expanding its Cyber-shot RX100 series of compact cameras, Sony India on Wednesday launched a “RX100 VI” camera with high magnificat­ion zoom lens, versatile 24- 200mm large aperture and “world’s fastest” 0.03 seconds auto focus (AF) speed for Rs 99,990.

The device comes with high-precision eye AF, highperfor­mance AF tracking, easy and natural touch focus, touch pad AF, up to 40 times slower motion footage, silent shooting with the option to mute the shutter sound for noise sensitive areas and one touch sharing, the company said in a statement.

Sony has brought a fast hybrid AF system within the camera with 315-point phase-detection AF points on the sensor that can acquire focus in 0.03 seconds which, the company claims, is the fastest AF acquisitio­n time and speed in the world for a 1.0-type sensor camera.

The camera also supports high-resolution 4K movie shooting with full- pixel readout and without pixel binning to ensure that the finer details are captured along with 4K high definition resolution (HDR).

With “RX100 VI,” Sony claimed to bring to users continuous high-speed shooting at up to 24 frames per second (fps) with full AF/after effects (AE) tracking and a buffer limit of up to 233 images. IANS By Motorola Price: Rs 13,999 Eyeing a bigger pie of the fiercely-competitiv­e budget smartphone market in India, Lenovo-owned Motorola has added a bigger display and visibly improved the design language of the newly-launched Moto G6.

It is essentiall­y a successor to the hugely-popular Moto G5 and attempts to fill in the gaps left by its predecesso­r.

Launched at Rs 13,999 for 3GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage variant, Moto G6 features a Full HD+ “Max Vision”—an edge-to-edge display with a taller 18:9 aspect ratio for immersive viewing experience and integrated Dolby Audio preset modes.

Amid a sea of budget devices, should you consider Moto G6? Here is what we think of it.

Moto G6 comes wrapped in a scratch-resistant, shiny Corning Gorilla Glass front and rear with slightly contoured sides that make it fit effortless­ly into the palm. The way it caught light when held up was impressive.

The 5.7-inch FHD+ is a step up from the all-metal Moto G5 and also resulted in better network connectivi­ty. gesture—in typical Motorola- style— which the company started introducin­g well before Google had plans to roll out the feature with Android P Operating System (OS).

A significan­t upgrade from the previous budget devices to the Moto G6 is the USB Type-C port. Housed alongside, on the phone’s bottom edge, is the standard 3.5-mm headphone jack.
