Key Features
Capture 4k/30p video that far exceeds HD resolution
Capture the nest 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 60p 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 subjects.
1” Exmor R® CMOS sensor w/ Direct Pixel Read Out
The world’s rst 1.0” CMOS sensor featuring an Exmor R® CMOS image sensor technology. With
this back-illuminated technology, the sensor doubles light sensitivity and combines with Sony’s
Column A/D Conversion to reduce noise by half — a great help when photographing in dimly lit
environments. Markedly reduced noise is evident even when high-sensitivity settings are used for
capturing night landscapes or indoor scenes.
14MP resolution video and 20MP still image capture
Create cinematic video with 14MP resolution sensor (for video) and high quality 20MP still images.
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 les in a MP42 wrapper. The
highly compressed les 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 dierent environments.
Carl Zeiss® Vario Sonnar T* lens w/ 12x optical zoom
The FDR-AX100 comes equipped with a newly developed Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* lens that

capturing grand landscapes, but it covers wide-ranging image expression thanks to maximum
12x optical zoom and 24x Clear Image zoom
Multi-interface Accessory Shoe for system accessories
Users can expand photographic and movie shooting possibilities by attaching optional
accessories via the Multi Interface Shoe, including an electronic viewnder, powerful external
ash and stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via Multi
Terminal.
BIONZ® X Processor enables high Speed rec 120fps
The new BIONZ® X image processor enables the camcorder to create more naturally vivid and
lifelike image quality, and higher resolution imagery.
Notable features of BIONZ X technology include:
1. Detail reproduction technology optimally lters edges and textures dierently depending on
the scene.
2. Area specic noise reduction swily and eciently analyzes the subject and reduces noise.
This new image processing technology achieves an even better balance of exceptional detail
and advanced noise control.
Its ability to record at 120p enables slow-motion playback at one-h the speed in a 24p
environment in post-processing.
Optical SteadyShot™ Image Stabilization w/ Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot™ Image Stabilization with Intelligent Active Mode is an advanced optical
image stabilization technology that corrects camera shake to capture scenes with phenomenal
smoothness and stability. Intelligent Active Mode analyzes video frames and provides
compensation with assistance from the new BIONZ® X image processing engine. Whether
recording movies while strolling on vacation, shooting while chasing a child, or zooming in to
capture faraway subjects, Handycam’s simple solution smoothly reproduces the scene with a
higher level of stability.
High contrast 0.39" OLED EVF for eye-level framing
The FDR-AX100 employs high contrast a 0.39” OLED Tru-Finder EVF which reproduces rich color
and deep black. A new optical design of the EVF, using four dual-surface aspherical lenses,
allows for a 33-degree wide angle view that is amazing clear through the edge of the view nder.
Large 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD™ (921K)
The 3.5” (16:9) Xtra Fine LCD™ screen (921K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you
compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best
represent the scene.
Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi®/NFC
Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplied
with Wi-Fi®/NFC control. In addition to Wi-Fi® support for connecting to smartphones, the FDRAX100 also supports NFC (near eld communication) providing “touch connection” convenience
when transferring images to Android™ smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices
to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a
feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection between
FDR-AX100 and the smartphone can be established by simply touching devices.
