Awesome video! I bought mine a little over a year ago and am just now trying to learn some of the different features. I wish you would have talked more about some of the features like slow motion. Is there any way to make the slow motion last longer then just a few seconds?

Thanks for the review...looking forward to you impressions after your wedding shoot.
@youngvisuals89978 жыл бұрын
I've used it for three weddings so far. I'm pretty happy with it, given its price point and the market it is aiming at. Unfortunately, I don't think it's aiming at me. The low light image quality just isn't quite there, and I decided for my style I need a bit more depth of field control. I'll probably keep it to do family stuff, but for wedding clients I'm still searching for an affordable low light 4K solution.

Just read that the PAL version cannot be setup to 30p. So I will change the firmware to the US NTSC firmware which does support the 30p model. Cheers!

As far as the lens ring selection being difficult. If you hold the button in for a few seconds the menu will appear on the screen. turning the lens ring will scroll through the menu and the highlighted will be active when you push the switch again. If Corban is reading this. You said that this camera has a remote control to be bought as an accessory?

Fantastic vid. I have the ax33 and shoot slow motion. Does the ax53 also only records 3sec bursts of slow motion?? Then buffers for 8secs before you can shoot another slow motion burst? Thanks

Hi Corban, I enjoyed your explanation of the camera and the menus. So I bought the camera and received it this morning. Great camera, just one thing... Whatever I try and do I just can't get it to 30p on the 4k modes. Any ideas why that is or what I do wrong? The only option I can choose from is 25p.

You won't get 60 fps on 4k resolution out of this camera ;-). You could use 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution and use 120 fps...

By the by... I really enjoy the camera! It works really well; dropped it one time really hard and it survived the crash. Also quality is the best in it's kind in my opinion.

Hi Corban, Can you show me how Cinematone looks please? Also, is it true that if you down-sample 4k 8bit 4:2:0 (which i presume this records in) to 1080p in your editor, then you will get a 10bit 4:4:4 color space? What does it sample @ 1080p? Thanks for the review, Simon
@youngvisuals89978 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately I got rid of the cameras (4k was just too soft for cropping in) so I can't show you the Cinematone. And as far as down-sampeling, sounds like you know more about that than I do! I can tell you that when I did to a full downsample (4k-1080), the footage looked the best of any setting or mode from this camera.
@superg50zero328 жыл бұрын
I received mine yesterday and have been getting used to the controls and features. Just one question why 24p instead of 30p in 4K? Is it to give the video footage a more cinematic look?
@youngvisuals89978 жыл бұрын
Partially for a more cinematic look, but more for the tiny extra bit of light, more data per frame, and to match other cinema cameras that we use for weddings. Thanks for the comment!

Hello, The previous model (FDR-AX33 4K) was capable of taking 20.6 MP still pictures. The AX53 takes only 16.6 MP stills, however the pixels are 1.6x larger. Is the image resolution comparable? Thanks for the answer. AM

I only took a few stills, and honestly I wasn't impressed. My iPhone takes better stills. But I didn't get this cam for the stills.

Does this have a mic-in jack? The video doesn't seem to point it out, and the Sony specs don't list it either. Surely they didn't leave that out, or make it some funky 2.5mm jack did they?

Thank you for the video. I saw that it gave a notice that cannot record still images when set to 4k 100Mbps, if you set it to 60Mbps will it do stills while recording? Have you tested it for rolling shutter yet?
@youngvisuals89978 жыл бұрын
+socalspeedzone In 4K 60Mbps it WILL record photos at the same time as video... only in the 100Mbps and a few other modes will it not do photos at the same time, and it has always warned me about that when I changed the settings. I have done rolling shutter tests, its controlled but it is there, it isn't a global shutter image by any means. I really have to try to get it to show up though, I'll post an example when I can.
