- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: FDRAX700/B
- Product Name: Handycam FDR-AX700 4K Premium Camcorder
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1” (13.2 x 8.8 mm)
- Digital Zoom: 192x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 12x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image Stabilization: Optical (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 360 Degree Capture: false (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): AVCHD, JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic/manual
- Focus Modes: Automatic/manual
- Exposure Control
- Minimum Aperture: f/11 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 111.6 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto; Onepush A; Onepush B; Outdoor; Indoor; WB Temp (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 14.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 9.3 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Display
- Display Type: TFT-LCD
- Screen Size: 3.46 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 30 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true
- Video Encoding Formats: AVCHD, XAVC (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 2
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)

- Action Camera: false
- Integrated Speaker(s): true
- Night Recording: true (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
- Special Effects: HDR (HLG) mode; slow & quick motion; super slow motion (Image effects accomplished through software applied to images. These can change noise level, gradient, and other aspects of your image.)

Product Manuals
Q: Does this camera capture 5.1 sound?
A: No, only 2.0
A: I use an HDMI and a capture card to video demonstrations for work. I use this in Teams, WebEx, and several other video conf. platforms. The same process would work for Facebook as well.
A: Hi Tim, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. You can record slower movies than movies that are recorded with the Slow & Quick Motion recording.The Super Slow Motion recording is compatible with [XAVC S HD] only. The setting items differ depending on the setting of (OTHERS) - [60i/50i SEL]. When selecting [60i]: 240fps, 480fps, 960fps. Please see the link below for more details. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony. https://helpguide.sony.net/cam/1710/v1/en/contents/TP0001492413.html
A: Yes, you can take pictures of 12 - 14M resolution. The quality is better especially in low light due to its larger sensor. You can download photos / video from the camcorder without a chord, using Sony's Imaging app, with which you can control the video camera functions too. I am not sure about chord less with laptop / desktop
Q: I wanna get a case to put the camera in but not sure which one works with it?
A: Hi, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The list of compatible cases are available via link below. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony. http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/cscs/accessories/compatibility.php?area=us&lang=en&mdl=FDR-AX700&cat=21
Q: Is that made in China or Japan?
A: Hi Tony, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The camcorder is made in China. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony.
Q: Does it have a 2.55mm port for a lanc remote or is it the multiport?
A: Hi Billy, Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. The camcorder does have standard LANC port for the remote control. It also has a separate multi USB terminal as well. Thank you so much for your question. And thank you for choosing Sony.
A: It provides video output through an HDMI. If your streaming device, like the laptop, has HDMI in port then this will work otherwise you will need something like a HDMI to USB. Works very well in low light.
