LCD attachment on the Sony RX100 V
The LCD screen on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V is flexibly attached to the body. In particular, the LCD can be tilted vertically to facilitate odd-angle shots in landscape orientation. This tilting design is often preferred, for example, by street photographers to a fully articulated, swivel type of LCD attachment, as it is more unobtrusive during shooting than a screen that flips out to the side.
In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Sony RX100 V measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,229,000 dots. The panel is not touch sensitive.

One convenient feature of the RX100 V is the presence of an on-board flash. While this built-in flash is not very powerful, it can at times be useful as a fill-in light to brighten deep shadow areas.
