Asked 4 years ago by Dean.

• A:Answer I bought the Sony ECMB1M Microphone for the ax53. Only downside is you to use it in Analog mode instead of Digital. All other features of the Mic can be used. No external light can plug into it. Lastly, you can use up to a 256GB SD card.

Asked 5 years ago by photovideogal.

Q: QuestionSo the specs say to operate this camera in 50F to 86F, is this accurate? cause it gets cold and very hot were I live. I like the ax43, but the 53 has more features.

• A:Answer I haven't used it for webinars, but i have recorded for about 1.5 hours with no overheating. Here's the manual link. It does output live via the HDMI port.
