Sony FDR-AX53/B Video Camera Black

Capture in low light using the Exmor R™ CMOS sensor
Capture every aspect of the scene even in low light. The unique design of the Exmor R CMOS sensor captures more light in dark areas, significantly improving sensitivity and reducing noise. Combined with faster parallel signal processing and faster signal conversion, images have a wider dynamic range and rich gradations, providing intense details and clarity.
Outstanding details and texture with BIONZ X™
For all digital cameras, the light captured by the sensor must be transformed into beautiful digital photographs. The engine that provides this transformation is as important as your lens and high-resolution sensor, so Sony has developed the remarkable BIONZ X processor, which allows for more natural details, more realistic images, richer tonal gradations, and less noise, capturing both photos and movies.
World-renowned ZEISS optics
With over 150 years of experience in precision optics, the ZEISS lens provides intense contrast and sharpness to your recordings, without glare or reflections, thanks to the improved multi-layer coating.
Full pixel readout without pixel binning
The sensor reads image data from each pixel, freeing video from aliasing, moiré, and false color artifacts.
High bitrate for capturing all the fine details
With a high bitrate of 4K/100Mbps and Full HD/50Mbps, your captured film will always have smooth, high-quality images.
Sharp, ultra-wide 170° lens
Capture epic wide-angle views with the 170˚ ZEISS Tessar® lens. Or switch to SteadyShot-stabilized 120˚ view. Either way, you'll always capture beautiful shots from the most challenging ski slopes, mountain trails, or paved paths.
XAVC S for professional-level recording
Sony's professional-level codec is available in consumer cameras to capture stunning footage with high bitrate recording.
Improved SteadyShot for smoother footage
From the rockiest trail to thrilling cycling — you want to capture expressive, clear video that viewers will truly enjoy watching. And even better, the improved SteadyShot is more effective against low-amplitude vibrations, such as those from remote-controlled helicopters. So now you can get stunning panoramic shots from your drone without any shaking.

Built-in stereo microphone captures quality sound
Make a great movie even better with great audio; the built-in stereo microphone allows you to capture your adventure's sound vertically and naturally, while the wind noise reduction function ensures clear audio.
Motion Shot LE
Capture the sequence of action in a single frame. This feature creates a composite image of a moving object with variable settings for different sequential frames, which are: 10 frames/s/1 second, 5 frames/s/2 seconds, and 2 frames/s/5 seconds.
Live streaming with Ustream (currently IBM Cloud Video)
Share skiing tracks, killer waves (and destruction) in real time. Stream scenes as they happen, using high-quality image and sound.
Burst shooting
Capture fast-moving action with burst shooting. It allows you to capture no more than 10 high-quality trick or transition shots, making it perfect for those who like to review and analyze their style. The settings are 10 frames/s/1 s, 5 frames/s/2 s, and 2 frames/s/5 s.
Convenient loop recording
Don't worry about missing the perfect moment with loop recording. Loop overwrite shooting can be selected with duration options of 5, 20, 60, 120 minutes, or "unlimited". Use it to capture the crucial moment without worrying about running out of power.
Interval still image recording allows creative use of videos
Capture subtle movements with details and precision. Interval recording takes a still photo every 5, 10, 30, or 60 seconds, so they can be combined into a time-lapse video. This is especially useful for continuous long-term recording.
Manual control for professional-style movies
Explore sophisticated shooting features for professional-style movies. Use advanced manual settings such as white balance and AE shift, and optimize brightness and color to match other video camera footage, making film editing easier.
