A new versatile tool for cinematic expressionAs a gateway into a professional filmmaking career, the FX2 is a full-frame camera in the Cinema Line that inherits the visual philosophy of Sony's top-level VENICE series. Adopting the compact design, user interface, expandability, and reliability synonymous with Sony Cinema Line, it's ideal for solo shooting, and introduces enhanced still image functions designed to support filmmaking.Professional cinematic lookFor that professional cinematic lookThe FX2 is the newest Cinema Line camera, designed to support professional filmmaking. By combining the high image quality of a full-frame sensor with cinematic and expressive tools modelled on Sony's flagship VENICE 2 cinema camera, you have all the tools you need to bring your creative visions to life.Cinematic expression with a full-frame sensorThe full-frame FX2 delivers stunning cinematic imagery, blending high resolution with beautiful bokeh. Equipped with a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor supported by our BIONZ XR image processing engine and advanced AI processing unit, the camera offers high sensitivity, wide latitude, and 33 MP resolution, giving ambitious cinematic visionaries everything they need.Outstanding image quality for maximum editing flexibilityThe FX2's full-frame sensor produces footage with smooth, natural gradations thanks to 15+ stops of latitude when recording with S-Log, ensuring even high-contrast scenes are captured in full detail. Base ISO for S-Log3 capture can be set to 800 or 4000, and the camera supports S-Gamut3/S-Gamut3.Cine color gamuts for broad compatibility. It all adds up to make editing more efficient when shooting with multiple cameras.Log recording modes for production flexibilityFor creative flexibility, there are three modes available for Log recording - Flexible ISO, Cine EI, and Cine EI Quick - with Cine EI widely used in professional filmmaking on footage that requires more intensive work in post-production. Based on the shooting environment, choose a base ISO of either 800 or 4000 to maintain maximum latitude throughout the shoot, allowing specific tonal ranges to be enhanced in post production to achieve your desired cinematic look.Multiple recording formats for versatile shooting and editing7K oversampling is used with full pixel readout and no pixel binning when shooting full-frame 4K (QFHD 3840 x 2160), and 4K 60p (59.94p) recording is available in Super 35mm mode. With 10-bit depth, 4:2:2 color sampling, an efficient MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec, and Intra recording including DCI-4K (4096 x 2160), outstanding quality is assured.Import up to 16 user LUTsWith the FX2, LUTs can be imported and applied to the LCD monitor and the electronic viewfinder while shooting or playing back movies. Up to 16 user LUT files can be imported from memory cards or Sony's Creators' Cloud and selected as needed. The LUT used for recording can then be embedded in the video metadata for post-production.Create moods right in the cameraPicture Profile presets make it easy to adjust color and gradation to create a variety of moods in camera. These include the invaluable S-Cinetone, which produces beautiful skin tones. Imported user LUTs can be registered as PPLUT 1 to 4 and applied during recording, and an expanded range of 12 Creative Look profiles, including FL2 and FL3, offers a comprehensive selection of visual moods for many recording needs.Desqueeze display for anamorphic lensesAnamorphic lenses are a popular choice for creating a distinctly cinematic look. The FX2 is equipped with a desqueeze display mode that allows monitoring in the standard CinemaScope aspect ratio of 2.93:1 while shooting with anamorphic lenses. It offers 1.3x and 2.0x desqueeze settings, and Sony's Monitor & Control app provides even more detailed settings for monitoring on a tablet or other external display devices.Frame rate freedomAn FPS menu inherits features from Cinema Line higher-end models, including a [Variable] setting that allows intuitive frame-rate control: up to 2.5x slow motion at 4K resolution, or up to 5x slow motion when recording in Full HD at up to 120 fps.An extensive range of expressive E-mount lensesSony offers a range of more than 70 high-performance E-mount lenses, including ultra-wide angles, super telephoto zooms, exquisite primes and powered zooms. Combine with Sony original microphones for outstanding sound quality and choose from a variety of other accessories to bring your creative vision to life.Solo shooting freedomDesigned for solo shootingCombining video features from current Cinema Line cameras with enhanced functions for stills that support filmmaking, the FX2 is designed to handle solo shooting in a wide range of circumstances, giving you maximum flexibility.Compact and lightweight with built-in accessory mount pointsWith the same compact flat-top design as the Cinema Line FX3 and FX30, the FX2 is ideal for handheld shooting as well as gimbal and drone mounting. The magnesium alloy exterior has 1/4-20 (UNC) screw holes in three locations for mounting accessories, and two additional screw holes are located on the bottom panel for secure tripod mounting.AI-based Real-time Recognition AFEquipped with a powerful AI processing unit, the FX2 is capable of Real-time Recognition AF for humans, animals, birds, vehicles and even insects. A detection frame indicates the recognized subject and tracking can be initiated simply by touching the subject on the monitor screen. Advanced human pose estimation technology accurately recognizes subject movement, and human eye recognition has been improved by about 30% compared to the FX3/FX30.Fine-tuned focus controlAF Assist allows seamless switching to manual focus for smooth focus transitions, while a range of 7 autofocus transition speed settings and 5 sensitivity settings offer detailed control. Focus Map makes it easier to visualize depth of field by overlaying focus info on the live view display, and the Breathing Compensation function can significantly enhance image stability.Automatic framing using advanced AIThe FX2's Auto Framing feature automatically crops and tracks a subject to keep them in a prominent position when the camera is mounted on a tripod, producing footage that looks like it was shot by an experienced operator. The Framing Stabilizer function automatically keeps the subject in the same position within the frame, which can be useful, for example, when the camera operator is moving alongside the subject.Stabilization for dynamic handheld shootingActive Mode boosts stabilization while walking and shooting. For even faster paced shooting, there's Dynamic active Mode, which utilizes electronic stabilization for as much as 30% greater effect, making it possible to shoot stable footage even when running around. Corresponding stabilization metadata is embedded in the footage for efficient post production.Stills at the flip of a switchA single switch selects MOVIE or STILL mode and instantly recalls all the corresponding settings. In addition to providing 33 MP resolution and continuous bursts at up to 10 fps, the camera is equipped with a [Creating still images from Shot Marks] function that allows you to snap stills while recording or playing video that has a previously imported user LUT.Visual consistency across stills and videosThe Log mode is also available for stills, making it possible to shoot JPEG and HEIF still images with the S-Log3 gamma curve used during a video shoot, so the same workflow can be easily applied during post production. Transform your stills in editing applications such as Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, ready for a variety of uses while maintaining the same look.Operability for filmmakingOperability for professional filmmakingThe FX2 is designed for maximum operability during professional use, supporting a smooth workflow throughout production.Tiltable high-definition electronic viewfinderKeep focused on shooting even in bright or distracting environments, thanks to an OLED viewfinder with approximately 3.68 million dots. Magnification is 0.70x (50mm lens, infinity focus, -1m-1 diopter), and the angle of view and eyepoint are optimized for video recording. The viewfinder itself can be rotated from 0 Degree to +90 Degree for easy viewing at just about any angle, and the eye cup can be removed or reversed left-to-right as necessary.Frequently used parameters all in one placeThe FX2 inherits the BIG6 (Home) screen from high-end CineAlta cameras such as VENICE, which allows you to easily monitor six essential parameters in MOVIE mode: FPS (frame rate), ISO, Shutter (speed/angle), Aperture or ND Filter, Look, and White Balance. The BIG6 (Home) screen contributes to smooth, intuitive operation, and provides quick access to Variable/Fixed parameters.Effective heat managementEnjoy uninterrupted video recording time for formats up to 4K 59.94p. Heat buildup is prevented through a combination of an internal cooling fan, a highly thermal conductive graphite material used in the image stabilization unit, and an innovative design that allows ample air intake even when the LCD monitor is closed. The cooling fan has three modes that can be selected according to shooting conditions: Auto, Minimum, and Off while Recording.
