Sony FDR-AX100 4K Ultra HD Camcorder

Keys to supreme 4K

Uniting 4K capability, intuitive controls, and handheld size for the first time, the Sony FDR-AX100 is a landmark in the enthusiast camcorder market, featuring:

• ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens: Enjoy 29 mm wide-angle ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens fine-tuned for 4K video. Ideal for capturing grand landscapes, it also provides up to 12x optical zoom.
• 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor: Light-receiving area of this sensor is approximately 4.9 times larger than current sensors, which enhances image clarity, reduces noise, and enables extraordinary background defocusing.
• Advanced BIONZ X image processing engine: An evolved BIONZ X engine achieves more lifelike images, and enables the addition of new features that take advantage of faster processing.

Intuitive controls to shape your vision

• The lens ring enables smooth, natural adjustment of focusing or zooming depending on which mode is selected.
• 5.1ch Dolby surround sound recording capability lets you record professional sound, to bring out the full potential of your movies and bring viewers into action.
• See your shot accurately, even in direct sunlight with this advanced high dynamic range Tru-Finder OLED viewfinder.
• The manual dial and buttons on the side of the body allow swift and easy adjustment of IRIS (aperture), GAIN/ISO and shutter speed.
• Four built-in graduated ND filters control the light entering the lens, giving you the ability to produce beautiful bokeh (even in sunny conditions).

An enriched Full HD experience

Enjoy super-sampled Full HD playback on your HD TV, which uses the surplus of 4K data to automatically down-convert 4K footage to Full HD. To crop a 4K image to Full HD, simply trace your finger on the camcorder's LCD screen to define the area.
