Perfect Lightweight Camera

So far, it's a great camera. The image quality is incredible and the streamlined rig is a pleasure to use for solo operator projects. *The menu system could learn a lesson or two from black magic.

I really enjoy this camera. The autofocus is amazing. The only setback for me is that it doesn't have built in ND filters.

Stunning Bokeh & Full Frame Creativity.

Capture the scene in cinematic 4K resolution, with the shallow depth of field, stunning bokeh, and cinematic freedom made possible with a full-frame sensor.

Cinematic Color Science Of S-Cinetone.

S-Cinetone color, developed for Sony's acclaimed FX9, is the default look on the FX3 for cinematic expression. It's precisely tuned to meet the requirements of today's content creators, with rich color and natural skin tones that match other Cinema Line cameras without grading.

4K 120FPS With Every Frame In Focus.

Even at high frame rates, detailed 4K imagery is captured thanks to the FX3's high-precision AF and high-speed readout capabilities. Slow and Quick (S&Q) mode gives you full control over the shooting frame rate, for beautiful motion sequences at up to 5x slow motion (with 24p output).

10 Bit S-Log3 & HDR Recording For Smooth Gradiations.

S-Log3 gamma curve and S-Gamut3.Cine enable shooting with high-quality color reproduction over a wide dynamic range, and they make it easy to match up footage with shots from other Cinema Line cameras during post-production. In addition, an HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) HDR picture profile enables direct HDR (HLG) playback on compatible TVs with no post-production.

10 Bit S-Log3 & HDR Recording For Smooth Gradiations.

16 Bit Raw HDMI Output.

For demanding post-production workflows, 16-bit RAW output is available over HDMI connection to compatible external recorders while XAVC HS 4K, XAVC S 4K, or XAVC S-I 4K and proxy files are simultaneously captured in-camera. RAW video output is 4264 x 2408 [16:9] resolution, exceeding DCI-4K resolution.

Dependable, Highly Accuract Autofocus.

Dependable, Highly Accurate Autofocus.

The wide-area AF with intelligent tracking uses focal-plane phase-detection for tenacious subject tracking across almost the entire frame. The Fast Hybrid AF system delivers precise focusing even when shooting at a shallow depth of field and at high frame rates of 120p in 4K (QFHD).

Sophisticated Tracking AF For Steady Focus.

Sophisticated Tracking AF For Steady Focus.

Sophisticated tracking features keep your subject in steady focus, so you can concentrate on composition. Real-time Eye AF ensures precise focus on the face and eyes, while Real-time Tracking is powered by Sony's unique AI-based subject recognition algorithms.

Smooth Transitions & Touch Focus Control.

Smooth Transitions & Touch Focus Control.

The FX3 includes AF Transition Speed in seven settings, to easily create rack focus, and five AF Subject Shift Sensitivity settings, which allows the user to customize how easily AF will switch or stay with the locked-on subject. You can also select the subject you want to focus on simply by touching the LCD monitor.

High Mobility Performance Wherever You Go.

With a compact size and light weight, the FX3 is designed for high mobility. The attached handle and cage-free accessory mounting holes allow fast setup, fluid shooting, and quick pack-down.

Attachable XLR Handle.

In Camera Image Stablization.

Active Mode is an optical in-body 5-axis image stabilization system that provides increased stabilization for movie shooting. To preserve image quality, the gyroscope sensor accurately measures camera shake and compensates optically. This makes stable video possible even when shooting hand-held without gimbal use, while walking, and at 4K resolution.

[3, 4] shift shake (X and Y axes),
[5] rotational shake (roll on Z axis)

The 3.0-type (2.35 million-dot) LCD touch-screen panel features a side-opening design to allow flexible positioning and improved visibility when the camera is mounted on gimbals. Touch-panel support also provides intuitive menu control for many camera settings.

Essential Controls For Efficient Solo Shooting.

Essential Controls For Efficient Solo Shooting.

28241image12_79625.png

XLR Adapter & Digital Input For Quality Audio.

In addition to the camera's convenient built-in microphone, a variety of professional microphones can be connected externally via the full-size XLR connectors on the handle through a digital audio interface via Multi Interface (MI) Shoe. Three recording formats can be selected, including 24-bit 4-channel. Digital audio recording is also possible by attaching a digital microphone such as the ECM-B1M even when the handle is not used.

28241image14_80913.png

Dual High-Speed Media Slots.

Designed for next-generation filmmaking requirements, CFexpress Type A cards support high bit-rate recording. The camera's slots are ready for CFexpress Type A as well as conventional SDXC UHS-I and UHS-II cards, and having two identical media slots makes relay or backup shooting possible.

28241image15_73708.png

Remote Camera Control & Network Capture.

A network connection, via Wi-Fi or wired via a USB Type-C connector, provides support for remote control from smartphones or tablets, with manual pairing. Remote shooting can be controlled from a PC with Sony's Imaging Edge Desktop™ application, or from a mobile device with Imaging Edge Mobile™.
