    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 sensorand BIONZ X Processing Engine
    The newly developed 1/2.5” 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 life like images with faster processing. Capture stunning video in both 4k/24p/30p and Full HD 60p/30p. Versatile shooting w/ XAVC S, AVCHD and MP4 codecs.

    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-rt 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 (5.1chfor AVCHD shooting). This makes it possible to faithfully reproduce audio with clearly defined separation. Advanced sound features such as Auto Wind Noise Reduction and My Voice Cancelling make it even easierto attain ideal sound quality in various situations.

    LCD Tilt
    Flip out tilting 3" Clear Photo touch screen LCD is ideal for is perfect for selfie and almost any other shot-composition from behind or in-front of the camera to high and low-angle shots. Power automatically turns on when you open the LCD and all settings are accessible on the touch screen for easy and fast operation

    Dual Video Recording
    Record two movies at the same time, one in the maximum-quality XAVC S or AVCHD format and another in MP4 format. That way you’ve got a small file ready for instant sharing, plus a professional-grade file for further editing

    High-Speed Full HD Recording
    Shoot in 1080p at 120 fps and bring it into your editing software to produce high-resolution slow-motion footage. This is useful for reviewing, in greater slow-motion detail, sports and everyday action that can occur too quickly in real time for you to see clearly.

    Connectivity to Smartphones via Wi-Fi/NFC
    Wi-Fi/NFC support enables easy connectivity with smartphones for one-touch sharing and one-touch remote control. NFC (near-field communication) provides "touch connection" convenience when transferring images to Android smartphones and tablets. Simply touch your NFC-compatible device to the camcorder to establish a connection.

    Manual Control Ring
