Capture 4k/30p Video That Far Exceeds HD Resolution
Capture the finest details in 4k (Full HD 4x resolution , QFHD: 3840 x 2160). This camcorder allows incredibly high resolution, to produce 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 at the camera's full resolution for incredibly smooth and sharp playback, with no loss in realism, even when panning the camera and shooting moving.
1" Exmor R(R) CMOS sensor w/ Direct Pixel Read Out
The Exmor R(R) CMOS sensor realizes astonishingly smooth, finely detailed images by reading out every pixel's signal from the image sensor at accelerated speed. Larger sensors generally have to thin out part of the vertical pixel's signal, however this model can process the full signal thanks to the combination of 1.0-inch sensor and BIONZ X processor.
Versatile shooting w/ XAVC S, AVCHD and MP4 codecs
The FDR-AX100 records HD movies in the XAVC S* format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP42 wrapper. The highly compressed files allow extensive record times. The camcorder also records in AVCHD, ideal for quality video for HDTV and Blu-ray disc burning. Additionally, the camcorder can shoot MP4 HD video, which is ideal for sharing over the internet at up to 28Mbps. Having the ability to switch between all three of three formats makes this camcorder an ideal tool that is versatile for creating content to live in a number of different environments.
