Sony Black 4K Camcorder With 1" Sensor - FDRAX100B

Discover vibrant video in a compact form with this Sony 4K camcorder. It produces high levels of detail courtesy of the 1-inch CMOS sensor, which delivers 4K resolutions. This makes your videos stand out, and it captures footage with cinematic depth for vibrant colors and extraordinary contrasts. It records at up to 30 frames per second so you get smooth action sequences that are then processed using the BIONZ X image processing engine in this Sony camcorder.

This Sony video recorder enjoys substantial noise reduction thanks to the back-illuminated technology, which improves low-light performance. This ensures you can make movies indoors or even under dimly lit environments, such as during your favorite evening festival. It even acts as a camera when you want it to, producing high-quality 20-megapixel still images, and you can zoom in up to 12 times to grab every last detail. This Sony 4K camcorder enjoys reliable optical SteadyShot image stabilization that can be enhanced thanks to the active mode to reduce hand shake and vibrations significantly for clearer images.
