Overview
FDRAX33B | 4K Camcorder
Pro performance in your palm.
Relive memories in rich 4K resolution with about four times more detail than Full HD. The unprecedented FDR-AXP33 offers Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ and a ZEISS lens for utmost image quality.
Capture 4k/30p video that far exceeds HD resolution
Capture the finest details in 4k (QFHD: 3840 x 2160), 4x Full HD resolution. The XAVC S™3 codec and incredibly high resolution produces vibrant and extremely realistic images. What’s more, the blazingly fast image processor is the same one employed in professional Sony models, making it possible to record 30p movies in 4K and 60p in Full HD 1080 resolution for incredibly smooth and sharp playback, with no loss in realism, even when panning the camera and shooting moving subjects.
Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization – for 4K
Now for the first time in 4K, get the ultimate in image stabilization with B.O.S.S. On standard Optical SteadyShot™ camcorders, a single “shift lens” is moved in the optical block to offset camera shake. Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ moves the entire optical block at once, maintaining the integrity of the optical path and reducing shake and distortion in videos and still photos.
Premium ZEISS® optics
Capture incredibly sharp 4K or HD with the newly developed ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens. Not only is this 29mm wide-angle ideal for capturing grand landscapes, you can also zoom to get you closer to the action with 10x optical zoom and 20x Clear Image Zoom.
Direct Pixel Read Out for smooth edges and color gradation
The FDR-AX33 incorporates ‘direct pixel readout’ utilizing the entire width of the image sensor without line skipping or pixel binning. Therefore in both HD and 4K video acquisition it can read and process data from every one of the sensor’s pixels. This results in smooth edges and color gradation giving you the incredible video from a tiny camera.
Manual Control (Iris / Shutter / Exposure / White Balance)
Get the most out of your camcorder with enhanced manual controls. The assignable dial allows for control of focus, exposure, white balance, iris, and shutter speed.
Versatile shooting w/ XAVC S™3, AVCHD and MP4 codecs
The FDR-AX33 records 4K and HD movies in the XAVC S™3 format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP4 wrapper which allows for extensive record times and easy editing. Additionally, you can chose to record HD in AVCHD (ideal for HDTV and Blu-ray disc burning) or MP4 HD (ideal for sharing over the internet). Having the ability to switch between all three formats or choosing dual record to capture both XAVC S and MP4 at the same time, makes this camcorder an as versatile as they come.
High contrast 0.24 OLED EVF for eye-level framing
The FDR-AX33 employs high contrast a 0.24” (1,555,200 dot) OLED Tru-Finder EVF which reproduces rich color and deep black. A new optical design of the EVF, using four dual-surface spherical lenses, allows for a 33-degree wide angle view that is amazing clear through the edge of the view finder.
3 Xtra Fine LCD™ (921K) touch screen
The 3” (921k dot) Xtra Fine LCD™ screen displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene. Touch screen functionality allows for easy operation of menus and advanced features like touch focus and metering.
5.1ch surround sound mic w/ new audio record controls.
Dolby® Digital 5.1 channel recording captures active sounds coming from all directions, so you can experience your home movies the way you experienced them while recording. Advanced sound features such as Auto Wind Noise Reduction and Premium Closer Voice make it even easier to attain ideal sound quality in various situations. Records high quality linear PCM (XAVC S) and AAC-LC 2ch (MP4).
Connect, control, backup and share wirelessly with NFC2/Wi-Fi®
Easily connect to an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet with Wi-Fi® and the PlayMemories™ Mobile app to control the camcorder (Rec, photo, zoom) or instantly transfer, share movies and photos via your mobile device. NFC (Near Filed Communication) makes it even easier to connect to NFC compatible mobile devices with one touch.
Broadcast LIVE from your camcorder using Ustream® live-streaming
Share the adventure as it happens via Ustream® live streaming4. Now your circle of friends and family can share the excitement in real time by simply logging in to UStream from anywhere. You can also link your favorite social accounts with the streaming to notify your friends when you start streaming video.
Multi-camera control
Add a different point of view by including other camera angles to your movies. The camcorder connects up to five compatible cameras5 - like an Action Cam - via Wi-Fi® and uses the camcorder’s LCD to preview what the other cameras are seeing and simultaneously start recording on all synced cameras. Use PlayMemories™ Home6 to easily edit a muli-view movie for a great video experience.
