Sony Handycam FDR-AX53 is Sony’s consumer 4K Camcorder with a better CMOS video sensor, better optical image stabilization, better audio recording, and improved low light sensitivity compared with their previous AX33 Camcorder. The AX53 is now in stores, and Sony plans to make the AX53 available for everyone to easily shoot 4K videos ready to be uploaded to YouTube or to be edited.

Please be sure to read and save the entire manual before setting up or using your FDR-AX53. Misuse may damage the unit or cause harm or serious injury. Download the manual and save it for future reference.

The printed manual that comes with the camera is very small and the print inside is even smaller. That’s why we recommend the pdf version, viewable on your computer or mobile device at much larger font sizes. Because “manual” has connotations of dense, boring text, some manufacturers or technical writers prefer the label “guide” for what would traditionally be called a “manual.”
