The AX43A 4K Handycam is compact, easy to operate, and offers high-resolution 4K recording with Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, making it well suited for handheld family videos, travel, and everyday use.
How does the Balanced Optical SteadyShot stabilization work?
The AX43A features a built-in gimbal mechanism that stabilizes the entire optical block, delivering extra-steady shooting on the move to rival external gimbal systems—especially useful when walking or running.

Does the FDR-AX43A record in 4K?
Yes. The AX43A records high-resolution 4K (3840x2160) video using high-bitrate XAVC S at up to 100Mbps, which requires a UHS-I U3 or higher SDHC/SDXC memory card.

The AX43A offers up to 235 minutes of continuous recording time with the supplied battery, making it convenient for longer events, travel, and family gatherings.
