Product Description
Sony 4K Handycam camcorder with 1 sensor
If youve ever been astonished by the depth and beauty of 4K High Dynamic
Range, if youve ever longed to achieve these results for your own projects,
Sony has the ideal camera. Presenting the FDR-AX700. Small as it is, it packs
the most power weve ever built into a palm-sized Handycam camera. With advances
like 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, Instant HDR, a generous 1 (1.0-type) image
sensor and Fast Hybrid Auto Focus, this is the perfect tool for making
unforgettable videos.
Large, 1" back illuminated Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor
This large 1" (1.0-type) back illuminated Exmor RS stacked image sensor
with DRAM chip not only enhances efficiency and speed of A/D conversion through
its stacked structure due to more circuit sections; it also realizes super-fast
readout speed - thanks to a DRAM chip integrated into the sensor structure.
Together with the BIONZ X processing engine and front-end LSI, it allows for
stunning 4K (3840 x 2160) with fast AF and AE tracking, and super slow-motion
HFR (High Frame Rate) movie clip recording of up to 960fps (40x), not to mention
remarkable low-light low-noise capability. The large sensor makes for more
cinematic imagery, with the blurred backgrounds that cinematographers cherish.
Incredibly fast, Hybrid Auto Focus
The FDR-AX700 An extraordinarily accurate AF system Using 273 focus points
covering 84% of the frame, the system combines the strengths of both Phase
Detection AF and Contrast Detection AF for unsurpassed results. Focus is always
important, especially in large-sensor 4K imaging. With its powerful high-speed
BIONZ X image processing engine and advanced new movie AF algorithm, the
FDR-AX700 can hold focus even on fast-moving subjects such as sports, pets or
children at play. Refinements like 4K face detection and object tracking
technology make it easy to follow your subject.
4K movie with direct pixel readout, no pixel binning and fast AF
The FDR-AX700 offers the advantages of 4K (QFHD 3840 x 2160) movie
recording, with full pixel readout without pixel binning, capturing
approximately 1.7x more information than is required for 4K movie output
ensuring that all the finest details are captured accurately. Utilizing the XAVC
S codec to record video at a high data rates, users have the option of shooting
at either 24p or 30p in 4K mode up to 100mpbs, or in frame rates of up to 120p
in Full HD up to 50mbps..
The detail of 4K, the beauty of HDR
4K High Dynamic Range astonishes viewers with visual depth and impact that
are less like conventional movies and television " and more like real life. With
the ability to reproduce images from deep shadows to piercing highlights, 4K
High Dynamic Range (HDR) is astonishing. With Instant HDR, a first in palm-sized
cameras, the FDR-AX700 empowers you to capture High Dynamic Range without
complex post production. Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) recording captures HDR, yet
plays back beautifully on both HDR and conventional televisions. For added
versatility, the camera also provides S-Log3 encoding.
ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 12x optical zoom lens
The FDR-AX700 comes equipped with a ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 29-348 (35mm
equivalent) lens that delivers corner to corner sharpness with beautiful
defocused background bokeh. Not only is this 29mm wide-angle lens ideal for
capturing grand landscapes, but it covers wide-ranging image expression thanks
to maximum 12x optical zoom and 24x Clear Image zoom (18x in 4k). Lens ring
enables smooth, natural adjustment of focus or zoom, depending on mode.
Compact size, packed with pro features
The FDR-AX700 has a variety of features for professional production,
including Picture Profiles, S-Log3/S-Gamut3, Gamma Display Assist, Proxy
recording, Time Code / User Bit and more, as well as input for external
microphone via MI (multi-interface) shoe or mic jack and output for headphone
monitoring. Focus and exposure can be monitored for fine control with peaking
function and zebra respectfully. You also have the choice of region setting
between NTSC and PAL movie frame rates. The AX700 uses XAVC S for detailed
recording up to 100 Mbps in 4K or HD and AVCHD recording for HD.
Super Slow Motion and Slow & Quick Motion
Enjoy creative ways to express times passage with Super Slow Motion and
Slow & Quick Motion. Super Slow Motion (HFR) high frame rate lets you shoot
short bursts of 960fps, 480fps or 240fps capture rates to playback at 1920 x
1080, in either 60p, 30p or 24p for up to 40x super slow motion. Slow & Quick
Motion allows you to set continuous recording frames rates from 1 to 120p for
time lapse to slow motion in eight selectable steps.
Dual media slots with Relay and Simultaneous recording modes
To extend recording time and flexibility, the camera provides two slots for
SDXC and SDHC cards. Slot 1 is also compatible with Memory Stick PRO Duo
(Mark 2) / PRO-HG Duo cards. To take advantage, Relay mode automatically
switches recording to the second memory card when the first is full. Simul mode
enables simultaneous recording to two memory cards (for example to create an
immediate back-up version).
Built-in ND filters
The FDR-AX700 makes it easy to take advantage of shallow depth of field even
in exterior day shoots. Theres no need to carry and mount external Neutral
Density (ND) filters. Choose among Clear, 1/4 (2 Stops), 1/16 (4 Stops) and 1/64
