Questions & Answers

Is the internal time and date stamp logged by the camcorder?

The time, date, and time code to an image are written in the metadata, so both the camera and editing software have access to the information. There will not be a video of it.

maximum size of the SD card that the AX-10 can accept What is the purpose of 43?

This is the first time I've used my AX I have used both 128 GB and 256 GB SanDisk cards without any difficulties.

Ax-sensing gimbal (balanced optical sturdyshot) image stabilization is on ax-sensing cameras as well ?

Dear AX-pilots, the stabilization system on the aircraft is up and running The 43 and the AX There is no difference between 53 and 53.

There is no problem with the lens moving. The image stabilization system involves the use of this device.

In the Night Shot mode, there is no Definitely not a good idea if you want to hunt ghosts
3/5

A handycam camcorder, which I'd like to use for paranormal investigations, became available for purchase. Putting it together, I noticed there was no button where it usually would be placed behind the flip-out display screen where I was expecting to find it. After charging up, I inserted a SD card and test drove the Night Shot feature. My search of the menus, the screen and the instructions did not lead to discovering My purchase of this was based on the response from Sony Support USA regarding Night Shot availability, but I have to return it now because I have been disappointed. However, without the Night Shot, I find it not very useful and not worth the money. I've used it before and found it to be good, but without the stabilization (Balanced Optical Steady Shot) it is not as good. As far as memory and options are concerned, I am disappointed since there is only one slot and no built-in memory. The Sony DVC and mini VHS tape Camcorders that I had had Night Shot at least. Despite all the advancements in ghost hunting in recent years, this is step backwards.

I enjoyed the overall experience, but the viewfinder was not available
3/5

Excellent videos are taken by this video camera, and it features many I used it the first day after a snowstorm and took video in bright sunshine. As a result of the black screen, I couldn't see the recording I was making. It didn't seem to make a difference whether I shaded the screen or not. It was only while in my vehicle that I was able to view the screen. I am able to see the screen of my phone the majority of the time when recording outdoors, however, in intense sunlight I am unable to do so. The overall quality of the video on this camera is excellent, so I was very disappointed in having to return it. There are times when I can't see the screen clearly and I need a viewfinder.

Camera of good quality
4/5

Cameras like this are great. Despite having the AX-, I was unable to move There was a version 53 previously that was an upgrade from In my opinion, the AX-model is excellent The number of more than 53 is higher. A 53's screen resolution is much better than most LCD screens, and its handy eye piece/view scope is essential for bright outdoor photography since LCD screens in the sunlight are washed out. The eyepiece can also be used to capture motion more easily than an LCD screen, such as recording aircraft in motion. When using AX-based software, you will see the following It is without question the better choice to save money, since it costs 43 for indoor video.

You are not allowed to use a A camcorder can't have a viewfinder, how is that possible? This is a terribly flawed design
3/5

Previously, I had a broken camcorder, so I bought this to replace it. It was so exciting to be able to record my son's football game. I set up the camcorder on a tripod and was excited to use it for the first time. When I could not see the monitor I became upset. All of them. Despite the glare, it was still hard to read. As far as I was concerned, the brightness did not need to be adjusted. When I asked my family members if they could see, they said it must be broken because I could only see my reflection and a glare that could not be seen by anyone else. There was a bit of a cloud cover that day, so I didn't see anything. This is not a good camera for outdoor use as there is no viewfinder and the screen has an awful glare, would not recommend it.

It's a big step up
5/5

The time had come for me to upgrade my video camera after spending a lot of money on cheap, low quality After lots of research and failure, I came across this camera and decided to give up on trying to find a cheap solution. Since my main focus is video, I didn't need a DSLR, so I went with a camcorder. The quality of the products came as no surprise to me since my son is a professional photographer and swears by Sony products. As a result of my essential tremors, I have pretty bad shaky hands, so having a gimbal and stabilizing apparatus is a must. Well, this thing does that pretty well. I am finally able to see a steady video! On top of that, Amazon also offered me a reduced price on a unit that had been returned with minor cosmetic damage. There was no way for me to care and I still am trying to find the What started as a good deal ended up as a good Glad to hear that!.

You can use this steady cam for videos on YouTube or as a recorder for I really like this purchase
5/5

As of now, this is the primary camera we use for YouTube. I have improved my channel significantly, and the steady cam makes it much better. It smooths out my hands a bit when I shake them.

There are HDMI outputs on the HDMI interface
3/5

It is a camera that is claimed to support HDMI out, but the feed is unpredictable My two test samples both show this glitch for a few seconds, then it resumes. I have tried two different samples of these cameras, and both show the same problem. On returning one of them, the glitch was still there. I sent one to Sony for repair, and upon return it was still there.

Camcorder with great features To obtain a FDR, click here The same price can be obtained by buying the AX53 instead
5/5

This is a reduced-cost version of the FDR The AX53 code. Concentrating and focusing are more difficult as a result. In current conditions, the price is the same as what you would pay for an FDR The official product code for AX53 is X53C. So, you shouldn't have any problems purchasing the AX53. There's no reason for it to be $100 over MSRP on Amazon.
