Important Things to Consider

• Your rental begins when the first delivery attempt is made. If you do not think you’ll be available for home delivery, please contact us to arrange for delivery to another location.

• Your rental must be returned to its pick up location or postmarked by your shipper before the same day cut-off time. Contact the location you’ll be bringing the return package to in advance to find out what the same day cut-off time is. Remember, local pickup spots and ship centers have varied hours!

• For your security, get a receipt from whoever you are dropping your gear off with for return.

DETAILS

The Sony FDR-AX53 4K Ultra HD Camcorder is a palm-sized Handycam camcorder that combines a Zeiss 20x optical zoom lens and a high-sensitivity image sensor to produce crisp and high-quality UHD 4K video. It features Sony's Balance Optical SteadyShot image stabilization technology to help produce smooth and stable footage throughout the zoom range. You can monitor your shots using the camcorder's 3.0" LCD touchscreen or the high-resolution OLED EVF. It sports an HDMI output port for viewing footage on a field monitor. The Sony FDR-AX53 features a range of automatic image and audio options for easy point-and-shoot operation as well as enhanced manual controls that give you more creative freedom. Fast Intelligent AF achieves very speedy, accurate contrast-detection autofocus by minimizing lens motion, predicting the AF range, and accelerating lens drive, thereby improving response so you can capture more fleeting moments. Other benefits include an infrared light to take images in complete darkness, 4K time-lapse functions, and dual recording in both XAVC S/AVCHD and MP4. This camcorder is ideal for home movies and sporting events thanks to its My Voice Canceling setting, which reduces the voice volume of the camcorder's operator. Built-in WiFi/NFC support enables easy connectivity with smartphones for one-touch sharing and one-touch remote control. This camcorder is ideal for everyday video shooting.

NOTES

• This camera has a built-in 32.8-656mm (35mm equivalent, 4:3 aspect ratio) lens and you will not be able to remove it for other lenses. The 16:9 aspect ratio equivalent is 26.8-536mm.

• This camera accepts SD cards, which are rentable separately. SD, SDHC, SDXC Class 10 or faster, or UHS Class 1 or faster required. UHS Class 3 or faster required when shooting at 100 Mbps.

• You can monitor live XAVC-S recording to an external monitor but this camera does not send live HDMI out in 4K. In 4K there is "preview" output until you hit the record button.

• We make every attempt to have a fully charged battery for you but we can’t guarantee it 100%. If you need a fully charged battery, please request it via the order notes.
