5 years later and still very useful information. I just bought this camera for $250 second hand. Excited to play with it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Where??? Ax53 or Ax33 I’ll give u 500$ if you can get me a good deal like that you can keep the change
I just purchased the FDR-AX33 off Amazon and it came today i saw your vidro yesterday and save it to watch later I'm now following your steps on how to set it up. Thanks for posting this video very helpful.
This is an excellent video! Most "reviews" today just gloss over things and haven't been used long enough to notice the limitations. I am looking to upgrade from 1080p to 4k, but I'm so used to full manual controls on my Nikon D3300, I don't think I could do without them. And the next models up with the camcorders, they cost way too much.
Actually you do have control over the gain/ISO at 11:18: you can set the maximum gain (see AGC Limit in menu) value, set the Shutter Speed to 1/50s for 25fps, and with the exposure compensation (AE Shift) as you demonstrated practically you have full control on iris. It's absolutely brilliantly designed by Sony engineers for a simple camera like this.
The only issue is that cameras have no Max Iris configuration option, when you want to avoid iris to go beyond f8 to avoid diffraction, you have to use anyway an ND filter.
great explanation, and the exposure stays where it is when you move the camera around? so-called exposure lock?
Very helpful video! thanks for making this and explaining everything so clearly.
BEST tutorial I have ever watched!! You should be a teacher my friend!!
Thank you so much for this very extensive and helpful video! This camera has so many settings - it's easy to get lost in it. Your video helped me understand those settings. What they are for and what they do. Thanks!
No wonder my vids have been taking years to upload, they were on 4K this entire time. Really useful knowing how to reduce the resolution, thank you!
Just got this camera. This was a great help. Thanks!
instaBlaster...
I've used this camera for over a year now and love it. I come from a professional video background so I am so pleasantly surprised by how well it works. I shoot most of my stuff on a light tripod and a light wind can create problems especially when fully zoomed in. I've kind of learned to live with it's little idiosyncrasies and occasionally focus for me was a real issue, which this how to video I think is going to solve. Didn't realize I had so many options to help me focus more accurately! THANK YOU! True story: I had the camera on a tripod balanced on the front of a kayak while I paddled through a salt water marsh. I turned too quickly and the camera fell (viewing screen first) into the salt water. I caught it before it was fully submerged in fact I'm pretty sure just the tilt out monitor was the only part that got in the water. I got back to land dried the camera off with a towel and left it next to a heater to dry, when I tried it a few days later, the screen was just a purple mess. Same thing when I tried it two months later. 3 months later, I tried it one more time before throwing it away. It worked fine and has ever since, now 6 months later!!!!! This camera is really a workhorse! Please note: You can't record in surround sound when shooting in 4K.
if stuff gets wet, the best way is to put in front of AC, air conditioning removed humidity. Some put things in rice as well as it can absorb moisture, heat sometimes can make it worse. Maybe why it took a while to work again, I have had a phone fall into the water when lauching a boat. Tried to dry it and then turned on, just for a sec, no luck, put in front of AC outlet for 4 hours and it worked !
Wonderful thank you so much
Great help. I bought this camera yesterday and awaiting delivery. So your instructions are right in time. Thanks a lot.
This guy is great at explaining this stuff. Really has made it easy to understand
I'm picking up an AX700 and this information can be applied to that I'm sure. Hearing what you like to have on manual and what you can live with in auto is helpful.
Mostly I expect to be working with a tripod, continuous lighting with softboxes and external sound recording for interviews, business profiles, some product.
Thank you very much for the detailed video. I use the AX53 for a year now, and I want, an opinion about mounting the AX53 on a gimbal. Will it be an improvement ?
I know this is years later but this video really helped me understand this camera much better. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for the very informative great video.
It´s my first camcorder, I bought the AX53 mainly because of the BOSS
system, but in many other aspects it is also a very good camcorder. Recording quality, size, weight etc.
greetings
Uwe
This is a great video! I have a question for filming tennis matches if anyone can share your thoughts on this. I filmed once in a relative bright condition and it seems the camera increased the shutter speed significantly and the trajectory of the ball looks strange during play back. I am considering to use shutter priority and fix it using 180 rule, then put ND filter so that the video does not over expose. Would this be a good approach for filming tennis matches in relatively bright outdoor condition? Thank you!
I am trying to decided between the AX53 and the Sony A6400, tough decision. Thanks for your tutorial to help make the decision easier especially being able to fine tune the focus.
Мужик красавец ! Сколько я пересмотрел русских блогеров, никто так о ней не смог рассказать как ты. Низкий поклон, баланс белого и скорость затвора для 4к вместе ! Это гениально.
Thanks, I just got the AX33 and this video was very helpful.
Great video bro. This really helped me!
Nice, informative vid, well presented and without unnecessary clutter. Very useful; I like this camcorder but the Sony menus are usually a drag.
Can u put a link to the batteries from Amazon?
Thank you for the informative review. I have a question about the external mic. When I use an external mic with it it was giving me noise as a fan is running in my videos. Can you pls tell me how I can change my setting for the external mic?
Hi, does the FDR AX 53 work with the GP-VPT2BT shooting grip? I know it works with my GP-VPT1
Nice vid! BTW how to check my FDR AX53 ACTIVE TIME (overall usage time of the camera)? Is there any shortcut or secret code to display that info?
Thank you so much for all these advices !
Just bought one Ax53 cam and it'll be sure a good manual to follow.
This particular range of cameras are amazing. Peace Christo 👽
Very good video thanks
Thanks, very good video. Cleared up some settings issues for me.
The best Sony video ever watched. thanks this I gonna buy this camera!!
Thank you
I have this camera... I am happy to see your video
Great info thanks for sharing. But can you please tell me the name of or a link to the batteries you mentioned. Was it wasabi? 2 for $30?? Thanks
This is a great informational video, I have had a problem with uploading my video onto my MacBook Pro computer. are you familiar with in too do it and can you explain? Thank you,
John
Thank you very much! It's a great no-nonsense instruction.
This was super useful! Thank you! I have one super lame issue I cannot solve though - when using it to stream, it got on stand by after a while (while plugged in main etc) and ofc this cuts the stream. I looked inside out and i cannot find how to turn this option off. Ideas?
Great camcorder, I bought it for the BOSS system primarily, but it is also a very good camcorder in many other aspects.
Is the viewfinder accessible with the extended battery? Seems like it prevents you from getting up close to the view finder. Wanted to check/measure before I buy any new batteries, thanks.
Great vid and now I successfully turned my PAL into a 30/60/120fps version, I found this really useful..thanks!!
Hi. I cant find 30p on my ax53 🤦🏼
What settings would you use if you wanted to use the AX53 for indoor real estate video? Thanks!
Outstanding review. Thanks for taking the time and going through it so well. I get mine today so I am excited.
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheBoomerConsumer I do have a question. You may have covered it but I am not that technical. I been using mostly auto settings so my autofocus works well. I have tried several different types of light and now use COB LEDS. My entire scene looks great but my hands glow like their lit from the inside. Other than a tan is their anything I can do. Thank you
Are all the settings u spoke to for manual mode. I came here to learn some basics - and thinking for now, auto is good - but could still learn about getting the best image quality for videos, like the record mode settings, frame rate, file format etc. when u spoke about them were they for Manual only? Thanks.
Is there like a tilt icon on this that lets you know if you are tilting the camera a bit too much to one side?Panasonic
Any tips on how to reduce the chromatic abberation & blurryness on max Zoom? Or is that just an inherent physical issue with this camera?
Great info of some of the many features this camcorder has Bruce. Its a Great Camera !
Great vid, thanks! I doubt you bother checking comments here, but if you do, can you advise on the ND filter that you recommend? Seeing that there is no inside threading on the lens, how the heck would you attach a filter? Thanks!!
Muchas gracias por todos sus consejos,ya grabando con mi Sony ax53 y muy feliz,sus consejos me ayudaron en la desicion de compra,un abrazo¡ saludos desde Chile¡
Wow this was so helpful. Thanks so much for this, I definitely feel more confident using my cameras now.
When I go into framerate, I only see 25p. Did they sell me a European camera or something?
Also, the "my button" function on this camera looks interesting. Basically you get three quick buttons on the main screen when shooting. I have mine set to spot focus, spot meter, and white balance, then I set the manual ring to iris. This way I feel like I get a good amount of control, especially when I have peak and zebras turned on, like you suggested.
Any chance you post a link for the Wasabi batteries you got? I can't find them.
Very informative, thank you for taking the time!
Hi, Thanks for the video... For sporting events like soccer, which camcorder would you recommend? ax53 or ax33? Thanks
Go for the Sony ax53, it's more up to date and is a lot better, I have one.
Thank you so much for this informative video!
i bought this camera a year ago to replace my first ever video camera, (sony dv) and i have not even tested half the things you show in this vid. i knew it was an epic cam, now i think i should have a proper play with it.
Have you found a way to get some depth of field with this camera? By choosing "portrait mode", you will get some mild depth of field, but i was wondering if you have found some other way.
Great video, many thanks. I have the ax33 and record football matches from a 20ft tower. I struggle to get the aperture/iris correct for night matches and the footage is dark where the floodlights havent lit the pitch enough. I shoot at 60fps and 1/100 shutter speed. Any advice would be fantastic
My first thought is to try setting the camera to manual exposure, this will let the camera match gain, shutter, and iris to automatic to match the desired exposure. It's important to note you can only manually control iris , shutter, or gain one at at time but not all three at once. Sometimes it's best to let the AX53 make the decisions in certain situations. You may also try running in full auto as well as an experiment.
I’m trying to decide between the AX 53 and the AX 700. Does anyone know if there is a difference in stabilization between the two when filming in 4K????
Love this camera... Good tips and had no idea you could press-hold the front manual button for the lens ring... Game changer as I've been using the custom on-screen button. Mahalo!
Thanks for watching!
Is this model good for low light as in a home theatre recording the filming of a movie via projector.
Thank you very much for your super clear video!
hi can I ask what are the frame rates when duel recording in Pal. Is the 4k frame rate the same as XAVC
Thanks for sharing this video, what i hate about my FDR-AX53 is that you have to turn the Manual Ring for Manual Focusing at least 10 times i thought they would have brought out a Software Update.
Can you please let me know the battery with extended capacity you got? How is the quality of those batteries and where you bought it from?
Awesome quality review!!
How to you get those lines in your screen? Does it help to film horizontal?
Brilliant 👏 I have now learnt more about my camera by watching your video. I really must get a filter for the front I haven't managed to get one yet. Thanks once again!
Glad it was helpful!
Have u experimented with the Elgato Camlink dongle?
Thank you. Easy to understand and follow.... would love to learn more from you on this camera.
Awesome, thank you!
Oh thanks a lot brother...
Please help me on the color issue. I am too dark to be seen but I would like my video to be a little bit brown. So what should I do??
And also, hiw do i improve the smoothness of the video because i have a rough skin?
Thanks alot
Nice video! Lots of information. I use the same camcoder for my videos.
Thankyou for this! Just bought this camera, now I know how to get the best out of it! :)
You're welcome!!
Totally fantastic and very helpful tutorial, THANK YOU!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for this video, very helpful and informative.
Great video! As we run a lot around with this cam - host in front. Always walking, it is quite hard to get the focus correct all the time - as well fiddling with the small buttons. What would you reccomend for settings? I think my footage always get blown out - especially in this hard sun. I have ordered a ND today, but anyway, I think it is quite over-exposed in a way. From 25 fps land :). Could you give any advice (I am quite skilled at video, but need a quick way to get the best out of my FDR AX 53. Best.
thanks for excellent description!
It is great titour.THANKYOU.
hello thanks for this video. I'm concerned that no one who has reviewed it has mentioned the poor zooming function. I work with a tripod recording intricate work with my hands and and move the project closer to the camera. Any time i try to get a close tight shot with the zoom it just blurs out. I have my tripod set about 20" away from my work. My old High 8 cam corders did this beautifully but this one just blurs out unless i stop and add a lens. Any solutions on this?
Regarding your focusing problem, you should realize that the FDR-AX53 minimum focus distance is approx. 80 cm (Tele). The minimum focus distance is 1cm(Wide) and 80cm(Tele). Use proper zoom (Wide) or minimum distance 80 cm (31.5").
( www.sony.co.uk/electronics/handycam-camcorders/fdr-ax53/specifications )
In low light you may also need to use manual focusing (use manual settings button and the ring).
Leslie Kail Villarreal you can back your camera away until it is in focus. Then you can zoom it in to whatever you want with your editing software.
Hi thank you for nice way to explain.
I do live streaming and the audio sound is crinkle.
Would you please explain how to gat good quality audio.
Thanks
nice vid.
can ax53 record for 4 hours Continuously?
I have 3 of these for live streaming and it’s best with midrange budget.
Is there a setting so that the camera doesn't keep shutting off after what seems like only a minute or so of inactivity? It's not like it's going to chew up a bunch of battery if I have to stop the camera and wait 5 minutes to record my next scene. I'm not sure exactly how long it is, but it only seems like a minute, 2 at the most.
I just bought sony hdr sr7 what’s the best sd card to get for those cameras?
Is the ax43 good for sport use such as football games ?
Hello,
1) is it true that this camera supports SD memory cards in NTFS format?
2) is it true that when we shoot with this camera a long 4K video in XAVC S on an SD memory card in NTFS format, the camera does not divide files every 4 GB, only one large file is created, which size is over 4 GB?
Please help :)
Good tutorial, thanks
i have this one with 20.6 mega pixels, is there a way to do time lapses with it?
Well done easy to follow helpful loved your tutorial

I will need to dedicate time to listen properly to you as I have 2 kids running around wild at the moment
I sure remember having kids running around lol
I have a rode external mic for this camera which plugs into the mic jack do I need to adjust the settings for this or will it work automatically like a Sony external mic? Thanks.
