• Histogram display: When the histogram feature is turned on, a graph of the image's brightness distribution appears. This gives you an objective determination of whether the video image as a whole is bright or dim.
• Color Bar: Four types of Color Bars are available for use. These are convenient for color adjustment when playing back images on a TV or monitor.
• Up to 24Mbps AVCHD video: The HDR-AX2000 can capture video at up to 24Mbps for amazing clarity and detail, ideal for recording on to Blu-ray media since the AVCHD2 codec is highly compatible with the Blu-ray format.

• CinemaTone Gamma and CinemaTone Color: Users seeking extra control over image expression can use "Cinematone Gamma" to deepen the color and "Cinematone Color" to recreate film-like color tones.
• 3.2" Xtra Fine LCD display (921k pixels): The 3.2" Wide (16:9) Touch Panel Xtra Fine LCD screen displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene
• Minus Auto Gain Control (Minus AGC): When shooting in overly bright conditions, this feature enables the selection of gain settings in the negative range for satisfying results with minimal noise.
• Improved Noise Reduction (w/ Exmor col. A/D conversion): Exmor technology captures video with high resolution, high sensitivity and exceptional detail. Advanced on-sensor A/D conversion and dual noise reduction yields rich tonal reproduction with high signal-to-noise ratio.
• Dual Memory Stick PRO Duo Media Slots: Capture still images directly onto one of two selectable Memory Stick PRO Duo media slots for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing, or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick devices (sold separately).
• x.v. Color Technology: x.v.Color technology can capture or display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors than possible with the traditional RGB color standard. This provides a more accurate and vivid color range, for a more natural, lifelike overall experience.
• Peaking: This feature emphasizes the screen's edge in the LCD and viewfinder, making it easier to adjust the focus. You can change the peaking color to white, red, or yellow according to the color of the subject and you can also set the peaking level to high, medium, or low
• Fader: To enhance viewing enjoyment, users can create transitions between scenes by using the White fader or Black fader to fade images in and out.
• Superior low-light (1.5 LUX) shooting capabilities: Superior low-light ability with high sensitivity enables clear shooting of subjects in light as low as 1.5 lux (at 1/30 fixed shutter speed with auto iris and auto gain).
