The Sony Handycam FDR-AX33 shoots beautiful video at super-sharp 4K resolution. That means it looks great, and the level of detail is incredible even when you zoom in on your subject. You'll get 10X optical zoom, plus digital zoom up to 120X. You may not get the best seat in the house at the high school play, but nobody will know it when they watch your video.
Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization
It doesn't matter how detailed your image is if it's shaky and blurry. Sony takes care of that, building in their trademarked SteadyShot technology so your shots have rock-solid framing. The internal BIONZ® X processor can keep up with just about anything. If you're the one that's moving as you follow a fast-moving pet, no problem. If you're riding in a car, filming what's outside the window? Also covered. Even when the lens is zoomed out to its full range, SteadyShot helps keep small movements from wrecking the shot.
Loaded with special features
You've got all those pixels, so let's put them to use. Want to record the adorable face of your sleeping child? NightShot mode does an excellent job in low-light situations. If you like to spoil a good walk by knocking a little white ball around the fairway, use Golf Shot mode to make sure you're maximizing your swing. And the 'AX33 offers many more special shooting modes for events we all like to record, like fireworks and sunsets.
Wi-Fi connectivity and live streaming
No need to wait until you get home to share your videos with friends and family. The FDR-AX33 is equipped with internal Wi-Fi so you can go from shooting to sharing in a flash. If you're an Android™ user, just use one-touch Near Field Communication (NFC) to pair your compatible device to the camera, and you're on your way. And if you really don't want to wait, share your video as it happens via live streaming apps like UStream®. The wireless path goes both ways, too. Smart Remote Control lets you direct some of the camera's operation from a distance, using your mobile device as the interface. It's the quick and easy way to make sure you can be in the picture, too.
