Sony FDR-AX700 4K Camcorder

4K and HDR are now available in an easy-to-use camcorder format with the Sony FDR-AX700 4K Camcorder. Using the HLG format HDR High Dynamic Range images can be recorded and processed for playback on HDR screens. Compared to SDR Standard Dynamic Range formats HDR offers increased color and contrast representation that is immediately noticeable. Dual SD card slots an LCD and viewfinder manual controls a 12x zoom range and a comfortable form factor make the AX700 an all-around camera for anything from family events to professional filmmaking and videography. 4K recording has made focusing more difficult. Missed focus becomes exponentially more obvious with the increase in resolution over HD formats. Sony's phase detection autofocus uses 273 points to lock onto and track subjects as they move through the frame. Focus speed and tracking can be adjusted to fit your project. So whether you're tracking fast-moving vehicles or actors moving through the frame the AX700 will be able to keep up and maintain sharp focus. For more advanced users Sony included S-Log2 and S-Log3 picture profiles alongside their S-Gamut color space. Enabling this functionality grants you greater control over the final image through post-production processing. Features Monitoring The OLED electronic viewfinder allows for confident compositions. Its wide contrast and color reproduction help accurately represent the image to be recorded. The 3.5" touchscreen LCD panel provides a convenient way to monitor your compositions. Not only can the touch functionality be used for menu navigation but focus points can be selected as well. Manual Lens Ring Using the switch on the side the lens ring facilitates smooth and precise manual adjustment of either focus or zoom. Manual Dial The manual dial and buttons on the side of the body allow for swift easy adjustment of iris aperture gain/ISO and shutter speed. Built-In ND Filters Choose among Clear 1/4 1/16 and 1/64 Neutral Density filters to adjust the light level entering the lens. This gives video makers the freedom to precisely control shutter speed and aperture for greater creative possibilities. Utilize the ND filters outdoors to open up the lens and create out-of-focus backgrounds. Dual Memory Card Slots Dual slots for SD card and SD card/Memory Stick support with both simultaneous and relay recording. Use relay mode where long recording sessions need to span across both cards; for critical recordings the simultaneous recording mode provides a backup for improved flexibility in client and production workflows. LANC Port The built-in LANC port allows connection to a LANC-compatible accessory so you can control the camcorder remotely. 4K HDMI Output Send clean 4K video to external monitors and even off-board recorders or simply enjoy your recordings on a TV with the HDMI output. The full-size Type-A HDMI terminal provides a more secure connection than commonly-found Mini or micro-HDMI terminals. MI Multi Interface Accessory Shoe The MI Shoe is compatible with various general-purpose accessories and further expands the camcorder's shooting capabilities in a range of situations.
