About the Product
The camera’s optics feature a ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens, paired with a sophisticated sensor that delivers 14.2 million effective pixels for video. Its built-in ND filter system (Clear, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64) allows you to maintain shallow depth of field or use slower shutter speeds, even in bright Japanese sunlight.
Control is paramount: in addition to the touch-panel LCD, you get a dedicated lens ring for focus/zoom, and dials for precise control over iris, gain, ISO, and shutter speed. For low-light situations, the FDR-AX700 includes a Night Shot function. The camera features a large HDMI Type-A terminal for reliable 4K output to an external monitor while recording internally (note: the viewfinder and LCD turn off during external output).

Faqs:
Is a memory card included with the rental?
Yes, this rental is provided with a compatible 64GB SDXC memory card (UHS Speed Class 3) suitable for high-bitrate 4K recording. The camera also has dual memory card slots for extended or simultaneous recording.
What does 4K HDR (HLG) recording mean?
HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) allows you to record videos with a wide range of brightness and colors (High Dynamic Range) without needing complex post-production processing. You can play these vibrant HDR videos directly on a compatible Sony HDR TV.
Does this camera have image stabilization?
Yes, it features conventional optical image stabilization (Active Lens System) but does not have the newer “Spatial Optical Image Stabilization” found on some smaller Sony models. Stabilization should be set to “Off” when using a tripod.
Can I use this camera to take still photos?
No, still image capture is not supported while the camera is in video recording mode. You must exit video mode to take still pictures, which can be captured up to 14.2 million pixels.
What are the S-Log settings for?
S-Log3 and S-Log2 gamma settings allow the camera to capture the widest possible dynamic range in the footage. This is typically used by experienced video editors for detailed color grading in post-production to achieve a highly cinematic look.
