Key Features
Capture 4k/30p video that far exceeds HD resolution
Capture the finest 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 first 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 files in a MP42 wrapper. The 
highly compressed files 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 different environments.
