Sony FDR-AX43A
The Sony FDR-AX43A is a 4K (3840 x 2160) camcorder that is so compact you can easily take it anywhere. The camera has a built-in gimbal mechanism (Optical SteadyShot), so you always get stable footage while you're on the move. Even while walking, running or zooming in, your image stays steady and you won't be bothered by shake.
The camera features a ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens. ZEISS is known for its extremely high quality and many years of experience in lenses. Thanks to the AA lens elements in the lens, every scene is recorded true to life. In addition, the ED glass delivers sharp colors without aberration. The coating on the lens improves image quality and prevents unwanted reflections such as mirror images and glare. The lens has a wide angle of 26.8mm (16:9 aspect ratio) and 20x optical zoom. The camera also has a Clear Image Zoom of 30x in 4K and 40x in HD.
The FDR-AX43A contains a 1/2.5 CMOS image sensor and a BIONZ X image processor. Together they make sure you can capture great footage even in low light. The camera also has Fast Intelligent Autofocus, which means you can focus quickly and accurately on your subjects. You can also lock onto your subject with the autofocus, so it keeps following your subject. That way, you'll never miss a shot again. The camera also includes face recognition and a Smile Shutter, which lets you take photos quickly and automatically, even while filming. In addition, this camera has an updated LED display with 921600 pixels. This gives you even better brightness and quality than the camera's predecessor (460800 pixels).
Thanks to three capsules in the microphone, the camera records sound from 5 directions. The advanced audio processing also delivers much better sound recording. In addition, about 40% less background noise is recorded, and you can enjoy stereo or 5.1-channel surround separation (AVCHD) for realistic, clear sound recording. You also no longer need to worry about distracting voice sounds from the person operating the camera, thanks to the My Voice Canceling function on the camera.
