About Sony FX6
_00942.jpg)
The Sony FX6 Cinema Camera is the smaller-yet-capable version of Sony’s FX9 cinema camera. Boasting up to 4K120p shooting and 15+ stops of dynamic range, this camera is designed for pro-level video shooters who demand top-tier specs in a body that is lighter than most other professional video cameras. Sony’s S-Cinetone gamma curve delivers cinematic tones and colors, and a 627-point autofocus system ensures quick, reliable focus, even in harsh lighting or busy scenes. 16-bit RAW output is available via SDI, offering superior precision and flexibility for pro-level films. Whether you’re on a solo production or looking to add a camera to an existing pro workflow, the FX6 is an excellent, lightweight choice loaded with specs filmmakers will love.
4K Sensor
The FX6 features the same BIONZ XR processor found across many of Sony’s flagship cameras, paired with a 10.2-megapixel Full-Frame Exmor R sensor. This combination paves the way for a fast 627-point Phase-Detection Autofocus system that has face and eye tracking and quick sensor readouts that minimize rolling shutter. This Exmor R Sensor captures excellent detail in both shadows and highlights, offering up to 15+ stops of dynamic range. 4K60p DCI recording is available in addition to standard UHD 4K120p and 1080p240 slow motion.
Filmlike Colors and Deep Tones
Users can shoot with Sony’s S-Cinetone gamma curve that offers outstanding skin tones, softer tones, and cinematic colors suitable for professional-quality films. S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine are also available and can streamline the post-processing workflow to match other video cameras in the Sony lineup.

Electronic Variable ND Filter
The FX6 comes with electronically integrated variable ND filters. Users can either set them manually or use automatic mode to ensure their footage stays properly exposed in variable lighting conditions. The ND filters can be adjusted between ¼ and 1/128, allowing you to maintain depth of field by darkening footage with the built-in ND rather than adjusting aperture. Additionally, this helps lighten your kit by eliminating the need for an extensive collection of ND filters in multiple sizes for different lenses.

Pro Audio Control
4-channel audio recording is available with Dual XLR inputs, a 2-channel multi-interface shoe input, and a stereo mic that is built into the top handle of the FX6. This allows users to record with an external microphone while simultaneously capturing ambient sounds near the camera.

In-Camera Cooling System
An isolated heat dissipation system that includes a silent fan and large ventilation ducts comes equipped on the FX6. The user can switch between Auto, Minimum, and Off in Recording depending on the situation. This allows the FX6 to shoot continuously for hours and helps keep the camera cool, minimizing sensor noise from overheating.
Professional Workflows
Regardless of the type of set you intend to use the FX6 on, there are numerous ways to record and save footage. Both SDI and HDMI outputs are available for live productions, giving the shooter more options for broadcasting. Timecode in/out helps users sync footage from multiple cameras in post, and built-in WiFi lets users access the camera for monitoring or control via the Content Browser Mobile App. And for users who aim to create films with their FX6, the camera is Netflix-approved.
Compact Design
The FX6 is considered the “run-and-gun” version of Sony’s flagship FX9 cinema camera, and it comes in at just 2 pounds, less than half the weight of its big brother. This makes the FX6 an excellent choice for a camera to add to a professional setup, but its portability really shines when operated by a single user. A 3.5” touchscreen LCD monitor offers access to the most important settings for quick adjustments when shooting on the go. The body itself is made of a magnesium alloy chassis, and the buttons have an updated seal that helps to reduce dust and moisture. Finally, Sony has used a removable handle that allows users to quickly switch between handheld and shooting on a gimbal or drone.
FX6 vs. FX9
The FX6 and FX9 are two very similar cameras that share many features with a few differences that appeal to different types of users. The FX6 is a no-brainer for solo shooters, as its size and ergonomics are well-suited to a run-and-gun style of shooting. The FX6 is also capable of capturing 4K120p, compared to 4K60p on the FX9. You’ll also experience slightly better low-light performance with the FX6; the FX9 is best for productions that demand the highest image quality. The FX9 is equipped with a 6K image sensor that downsamples to 4K footage that can be noticeable on a large display. The FX9 also has Genlock, additional SDI outputs, and ENG ergonomics. The bottom line is this: pick up the FX9 if you work on a team to capture TV, broadcast, or documentaries where the sharpest footage is absolutely necessary. If you work solo, plan to shoot a lot of slow motion, or intend on using a gimbal and shoot on the go, the FX6 is the right choice.
