Testing out the four modes of stabilisation on Sony's AX53 camcorder: off, standard, active and intelligent active (the latter only available in HD, not 4K). Shots tested static at wide angle, static at full optical zoom (20x) and walking.

Note, the 20x zoom had to be simulated in the active and intelligent active modes because they invoke Clear Image Zoom to 30x whether you want it or not, so I backed it off to approximate 20x.

Filmed at 50Mpbs HD 50p XAVC-S
