QuestionDoes this camera have an eyepiece viewer that can be used when bright sunlight makes it impossible to see the image to be recorded in the viewing screen?
Asked 6 years ago by PMichael.
- Answer Yes. The camera has a pullout, single-eye viewer, and the power remains on with the eyepiece viewer open and the monitor screen-door closed. However, if you wear darkened glasses that obscure your ability to see the viewer screen, there won’t be any advantage to looking through the eye-piece. If you don’t need corrective sunglasses to see, then the eye-piece viewer should be a definite advantage in bright sunlight, at least that’s my myopic experience.

QuestionDoes tbis camera record in 1080p or 1080i
Asked 7 years ago by JoJo.
- Answer Actually to respond to the guy that asked who would want to record in a mode that is not 4k. It is double the resolution but it is also well over 10 times the file size. In fact, recording in 4k will fill up a 16 SD card in 6 minutes. So, many people with 4k cameras rarely set the camera to 4k resolution. It is mostly for taking nice pictures, or shooting a short video to pull pictures from.

Question#1 Does it have time elapse ?? #2 why is this feature so hard to find ??
Asked 7 years ago by Tdog45.
- Answer It does have time lapse and it's right in the shooting modes. I think you have to have it in HD/1080p mode. Your best bet is to google sony ax53 and time lapse and you will get tons of hits on how to do it.

QuestionHello I was wanting to use this camera to create hunting shows and was wondering if this would be an appropriate set up and was curious to what the sound quality was and if I would have to buy a mic for it
Asked 7 years ago by Hunter.
- Answer Yes, this cam is perefect for youtube channels etc. the built in sound is great and you can use any external mic you like. You would need to read the docs on if the the mic needs to be powered or not. I can't remember if the cam supplies the 2.5v phantom voltage some external mics need.

QuestionHow do you recharge the battery?
Asked 7 years ago by novice.
- Answer Piece of cake. My camcorder came with an external charger. This permits me to be using the camcorder and be recharging my 2nd battery simultaneously. Of course the battery may also be recharged by using the camcorders internal charger. 1. Make sure the battery is properly positioned on the camcorder as if it were fully charged and you want to begin taking video. 2. Simply insert the POWER CORD into the AC adapter that came with the camera. The other end of the power cord is a normal plug and you simply insert it into any wall outlet. The AC adapter already has a cord permanently connected to itself with the end being a DC-IN plug. That plug goes into the Camcorder DC-IN jack. When inserted (assuming the AC adapter's other cord is plugged into the wall outlet), a small orange light will appear just above the video "START/STOP" button (located to the right of and about 1 inch below the viewfinder eyepiece). When the battery is fully charged, the light will go out. 3. Perhaps you are uncertain where the DC-IN jack is located on the camcorder. It is below the START/STOP Video button. NOTE: My camcorder is new and so the controls all have easy to read labels such as "START/STOP", and "DC-IN". On a used camcorder, the labels may have worn off off be faded to the point of not being discernible. They are both to the right of and below the viewfinder eyepiece.
