The new BIONZ
®
  X image processor enables the camcorder to create more naturally vivid and 
lifelike image quality, and higher resolution imagery.
Notable features of BIONZ X technology include:
1. Detail reproduction technology optimally filters edges and textures differently depending on 
the scene.
2. Area specific noise reduction swiftly and efficiently analyzes the subject and reduces noise.
This new image processing technology achieves an even better balance of exceptional detail 
and advanced noise control. 
Its ability to record at 120p enables slow-motion playback at one-fifth the speed in a 24p 
environment in post-processing. 
Optical SteadyShot™ Image Stabilization w/ Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot™ Image Stabilization with Intelligent Active Mode is an advanced optical 
image stabilization technology that corrects camera shake to capture scenes with phenomenal 
smoothness and stability. Intelligent Active Mode analyzes video frames and provides 
compensation with assistance from the new BIONZ
®
 X image processing engine.  Whether 
recording movies while strolling on vacation, shooting while chasing a child, or zooming in to 
capture faraway subjects, Handycam’s simple solution smoothly reproduces the scene with a 
higher level of stability.
High contrast 0.39" OLED EVF for eye-level framing
The FDR-AX100 employs high contrast a 0.39” OLED Tru-Finder EVF which reproduces rich color 
and deep black. A new optical design of the EVF, using four dual-surface aspherical lenses, 
allows for a 33-degree wide angle view that is amazing clear through the edge of the view finder.
Large 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD™  (921K) 
The 3.5” (16:9) Xtra Fine LCD™ screen (921K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you 
compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best 
represent the scene.
Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi
®
/NFC
Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified 
with Wi-Fi
®
/NFC control.  In addition to Wi-Fi
®
 support for connecting to smartphones, the FDR-
AX100 also supports NFC (near field communication) providing “touch connection” convenience 
when transferring images to Android™ smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices 
to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a 
feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection between 
FDR-AX100 and the smartphone can be established by simply touching devices.
