Features
4K image quality
Shoot 4K footage that contains about four times more detail than Full HD (3840 x 2160 pixels vs. 1920 x 1080) footage, and capture more of the incredible qualities that bring images to vibrant life.ย
Extra-light, extra-compact body
The FDR-AXP35 is over 30% smaller and over 20% lighter than current model the FDR-AX100, making it the most mobile 4K camcorder on the market.
Balanced Optical SteadyShotโข
Our advanced image stabilisation enables blur-free footage, even when the recording circumstances are shaky or bumpy.ย
Advanced shooting features
Enjoy total customisation with ergonomic manual controls. Use the intuitive multi-purpose manual ring to adjust zoom, focus, exposure, IRIS, shutter speed, AE shift, or white balance shift mode after using the manual button to select the mode. The electronic viewfinder offers accurate image preview.
Super-sampled Full HD playback
Enhance your viewing experience even without a 4K television. Using super-sampling, the FDR-AXP35 automatically down-converts 4K footage to exceptionally detailed Full HD.ย
Trimming Playback
You can select a specific portion of the picture and play it back in Full HD, thanks to 4K high resolution. Also, you can change trimming size with the zoom lever or on-screen display icon.
4K photo capture from movies
Shoot 4K footage without worrying about missing the perfect photo. Simply extract key frames from your footage later for exceptionally detailed pictures.
Multi Camera Control
More shots mean more editing opportunities. Easily record footage from a variety of angles, whether using cameras mounted directly to the FDR-AXP35 or triggered wirelessly. Multi Camera Control makes it easy to sync shooting settings on all devices.ย
Live Streaming via Ustream (currently IBM Cloud Video)
From performances to sports events, some things are best seen in real time. Share scenes as they happen with high-quality picture and sound.ย
Highlight Movie Maker
A versatile function to streamline movie editing, Highlight Movie Maker offers several time-saving features. Add highlight points to key moments while recording, and let the camcorder automatically sync your transitions to your chosen soundtrack.ย
Built-in Projectorย
Shoot and show footage with the same device. A 50-lumen projector allows you to present your movie โ or other content, using the external input โ on any flat screening surface.ย
Exmor Rโข CMOS sensor
This cutting-edge sensor enhances image clarity, reduces noise in dark environments, and enables soft background defocusing.
BIONZ Xโข image processor
The advanced BIONZ X image processing engine helps achieve more naturally vivid and lifelike image quality as well as faster processing capabilities.ย
Wide-angle ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens
This 29.8mm wide-angle ZEISS lens providing 10x optical zoom is not only ideal for capturing grand landscapes, among a range of other scenes โ it is fine-tuned specifically for 4K.ย
Exceptional image quality
By employing XAVC S format, which was developed from the XAVC format for professional use, 4K Ultra HD and high-bitrate recording of incredible quality are realised. Yet, XAVC S data is compressed so that it is more manageable for general consumers.
20.6MP still image capture
Sometimes you donโt need โ or want โ video. Put your video camera in still image mode and capture amazing high-quality single images as easily as you do with a still camera.
Superb night shooting
This feature uses infrared light to take pictures even in complete darkness. By using NIGHTSHOT, parents can easily capture childrenโs cute sleeping faces.
Motion Shot Video
This convenient feature allows playback of a dramatic sequence of superimposed images to trace every split second of action, a powerful tool for analysing sports motion on screen. During playback, you can adjust the interval between images, or pause to capture still images to share with friends.
Dual Video Recording
Record two movies at the same time โ one in the maximum-quality XAVC S or AVCHD format and another in MP4 format. That way youโve got a small file ready for instant sharing, plus a professional-grade file for further editing.
Face Detection and Smile Shutter
Use Face Detection to optimise focus, exposure and colour for people who are the most important subject of a shot. You can prioritise a subjectโs face by touching it on the LCD. And with Smile Shutter, the FDR-AXP35 can also automatically capture still shots of great (but fleeting) smiles, even while recording movies.
Lock-on AF
Enhances the tracking of moving subjects by using the optimal AF point at all times, and adjusting the target frame size to match your subjectโs characteristics. Thanks to advances in phase-detection AF, itโs now more accurate than ever โ so lock on and shoot fast-moving targets with precision.
5.1ch microphone
Record clear sound that accurately captures the atmosphere of the scene, and enjoy surround sound playback on your home theatre system. Level meters on the LCD panel provide visual monitoring of each channelโs levels.
Auto Wind Noise Reduction
Using an advanced sound-analysis algorithm, this feature eliminates wind noise โ the biggest culprit of bad outdoor audio.ย
My Voice Cancelling
Reduce the intensity of behind-camera sounds, whether you are talking to or cheering on your subject as you shoot.ย
Golf Shot
Analyse your swing with no need for fancy equipment. Golf Shot mode lets you capture video and stills of each step of your swing.
Xtra Fine LCD with WhiteMagicโข
The high-precision Xtra Fine LCD features a WhiteMagic display that uses white pixels in addition to RGB pixels to boost screen brightness, allowing users to see subtle details and tones on the screen in all types of shooting environments, including outdoors in bright sunlight.
Built-in USB cableย
The built-in USB cable stowed in the hand strap is very convenient for extra-quick charging and connection to a PC, so there is no need to pack a bulky extra USB cable or AC adapter. For charging without a PC, use a compact AC-USB adapter (optional).ย
One-touch remote and one-touch sharing
One-touch remote lets you use your smartphone or tablet as a viewfinder and remote control for a digital camera, and one-touch sharing lets you transfer your photos and videos from your camera. Either way, by installing Imaging Edge Mobile app to your NFC enable Android smartphone or tablet, you can avoid complex set-up sequences and establish wireless connection simply by touching your device to the camera. You are now ready to control your camera from your smartphone to take a photo from a previously out-of-reach spot, or simply be in your own group shot, as well as transfer them instantly to your smartphone for sharing on SNS. No NFC? No problem. You can also pair the devices manually.
