Sony FDR-AX43 4K Handycam Camcorder

The compact and lightweight AX43 Handycam camcorder features the latest generation ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 20x optical zoom lens and 16:9 video optimized 1/2.5-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor that enhances the spectacular detail of 4K resolution with increased sensitivity for capturing high-quality movies in low-light. High bit-rate recording in XAVC-S format and fast intelligent autofocus clearly captures even fast moving and complex scenes.

Built-In Gimbal

Sony's unique Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system with a gimbal mechanism is about 13 times more effective than other optical systems. Capture smooth, professional-looking images, even at full zoom or while running, with no need for bulky and costly external gimbals.

Exmor R CMOS Sensor and BIONZ X Processing Engine

The newly developed 1/2.5-inch Exmor R CMOS image sensor is optimized for 4K movie recording with its 16:9 aspect ratio and pixels of approximately 1.6 times bigger size than previous AX-series camcorders. It offers superior sensitivity for capturing beautiful high-quality images with less noise under dark as well as bright shooting conditions, while the BIONZ X processing engine achieves more naturally vivid and lifelike images with faster processing. Capture stunning video in both 4k/24p/30p and Full HD 60p/30p. Versatile shooting with XAVC S, AVCHD and MP4 codecs.

Get close to the action with 20x optical zoom and Clear Image Zoom of 30x for 4K and 40x for HD.

Fast Intelligent Autofocus

Fast Intelligent AF algorithm optimizes communication between the lens and the image processor to achieve incredibly rapid and accurate contrast-detection focus. This state-of-the-art AF range prediction system minimizes lens motion, predicting the autofocus range, to accelerates the lens drive, thereby improving response so you can capture precise moments.

Great Sound, Less Noise

The AX43 camcorder has a premium three mic. capsule structural design that enables it to gather sound from five directions. This enables the camera to reproduce clearer sound, yielding up to 40% less noise and is twice as effective in 2ch stereo (for XAVC S shooting) and three times as effective in 5.1ch surround (5.1ch for AVCHD shooting). This makes it possible to faithfully reproduce audio with clearly defined separation.
