FEATURES

Image sensor with blazingly fast readout speed


The back-illuminated full-frame Exmor R™ CMOS sensor boasts a blazingly fast data readout speed along with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. An advanced colour filter array boosts colour reproduction accuracy, while focal plane phase-detection AF enables solid autofocus stability and excellent precision, all of which contribute to outstanding image quality.

High performance image-processing engine


The BIONZ XR™ image-processing engine is designed for high speed, minimising latency while providing impressive real-time processing capabilities. The engine performs real-time processing of AF, image recognition and image quality adjustments, while also handling data transfer, user interface and other camera operations.

High sensitivity, wide dynamic range


The full-frame sensor enables high sensitivity with low noise throughout the camera's range by optimising the sensor’s output. Capture clear motion even in low light conditions with an impressive ISO expanded range up to 409600. It has an extended dynamic range of 15+ stops[FN|When shooting S-Log3, Sony tests.], without blown highlights. Together, the camera's high sensitivity and wide dynamic range expand your flexibility in post-production.

4K High Frame Rate 120fps recording


You can record full-frame 4K (QFHD) at up to 120fps[FN|With 10% image crop.] with autofocus thanks to the high-speed readout capabilities of the image sensor and the powerful BIONZ XR processor. Even at high frame rates, 4K (QFHD) images are captured using full-pixel readout without binning, for clear post-produced slow motion (up to 5x slower than real time)[FN|Post-production editing or S&Q mode recording required (sound recording not available).]. The high-precision AF even allows beautiful full-frame bokeh to be achieved during slow motion shooting.

Acclaimed cinematic colour with S-Cinetone™


The inclusion of Sony’s acclaimed S-Cinetone look, inherited from the development of the FX9, allows cinematic colour to be achieved directly in-camera. S-Cinetone is optimised for natural skin tones and mid-range colours, with gentle highlight roll-off, for impressive subject depiction even without post production grading.  [1] Standard (Picture Profile OFF)  [2] S-Cinetone (Picture Profile 11)

All-Intra internal recording


In addition to Long-GOP inter-frame compression, internal intra-frame (All-Intra) recording is supported[FN|For All-Intra, the file format should be set to XAVC S-I 4K or XAVC S-I HD.]. XAVC S-I recording compresses each frame independently at a high bitrate, up to 600Mbps, so is ideal for capturing complex motion, and allowing maximum flexibility and playback performance during post-production.  [1] All-Intra (All-I)  [2] Long-GOP  [3] Group of Pictures

HEVC codec with high compression efficiency


XAVC HS format recording, using the MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec, roughly doubles the compression efficiency. Compared to a normal 4K XAVC S format, XAVC HS allows for detailed 10-bit video with 4:2:2 colour sampling at comparable or lower data rates, delivering even better image quality as well as manageable file sizes[FN|XAVC HS compatible editing software, Catalyst Browse or Catalyst Prepare is required.].

DCI 4K recording in true 24p[FN|At 24.00p, proxy recording is disabled. When 24.00p is selected or deselected, the camera will automatically restart.]


The FX3 allows you to shoot in a wide range of formats to suit your shooting needs. You can also select XAVC S-I DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) format which is often used in cinema shooting. And true 24p (24.00p) can be an option for recording frame rate when you selecting XAVC S-I DCI 4K.

New S-Log shooting modes for optimized image quality


Three modes are provided for recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve. Cine EI[FN|XAVC HS compatible editing software, Catalyst Browse or Catalyst Prepare is required.], used in Sony’s high-end Cinema Line models, offers wide latitude and the highest possible image quality. Eine EI Quick[FN|XAVC HS compatible editing software, Catalyst Browse or Catalyst Prepare is required.] simplifies setup by automatically switching the camera’s base ISO according to the selected Exposure Index (EI). And Flexible ISO provides the greatest flexibility for exposure settings. In addition, Sony’s s709, 709tone, and ITU709 has been added to the available LUT presets.

Proxy recording for more efficient editing workflow


Low bit-rate HD proxy files can be recorded simultaneously with higher bit-rate formats such as XAVC S-I 4K, and these smaller proxy files can then be used for editing and previewing prior to final production delivery. This reduces computer load and allows faster and more efficient workflows. Proxy files can be captured in either 10-bit XAVC HS (1920 x 1080) or 8-bit XAVC S (1280 x 720)[FN|Proxy recording is not available in the following conditions: (a) normal movie recording at a [Record Frame Rate] of 120p (100p) or higher; (b) S&Q movie recording at a [Record Frame Rate] of 120p (100p) or higher; (c) S&Q movies at a [Frame Rate] of 120 (100) fps or higher.].

Expand your vision with Creative Look


Looks emulate pro monitoring and post-production tools inside the camera. The Creative Look presets are available in-camera, and each of these can be used as is, or further customised using individual parameter settings such as hue, colour depth, brightness, contrast, and sharpness. Fine adjustment of preset looks can be made according to the user's preference, and you can also register your favourite settings as a custom look.

10-bit HLG picture profile


An HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) HDR picture profile, complete with the wide-gamut BT.2020 colour space, can be used for direct HDR (HLG) playback on compatible TVs. The result is true-to-life imagery close to what the naked eye can see, with detailed shadows and highlights, less blackout and less whiteout, all without the need for colour grading. In particular, 10-bit recordings reproduce a level of fine gradation and detail for extraordinary realism.  [1] High flexibility to fine-tune images as desired (colour grading required) [2] Instant high-quality image (colour grading not required)

Fast Hybrid AF for dependable focus during movie shooting


Fast Hybrid AF combines focal plane phase-detection AF with contrast-detection AF. This results in highly precise, smooth tracking of fast-moving subjects even over a wide range with a shallow depth of field. AF Transition Speed and AF Subject Shift Sensitivity parameters allow more flexible focus control, as demanded by professional users.

Fast, easy and reliable Real-time Tracking and Eye AF


Focus control is fast and intuitive, to ensure you have full creative control of the FX3’s powerful AF technology. Real-time Tracking greatly assists during solo shooting by analysing the subject's colour, patterns, and depth. When shooting people, Real-time Eye AF makes movie-making much easier, especially with gimbal-mounted shots and wherever you need to rely on AF.

De-squeeze display[FN|Available in log shooting modes.] for anamorphic lens


When shooting with anamorphic lenses, you can choose a de-squeeze ratio (1.3 x or 2.0 x) in the menu to display the movie with horizontal correction on the LCD monitor, according to the ratio of the attached anamorphic lens.

Selectable shutter angle and speed


Users can switch between displaying shutter speed, or shutter angle for fluid and familiar videography.

Compensation for focus breathing


With the breathing compensation function turned on, the camera allows you to shoot movies with more stable images when you used with compatible lenses[FN|Compatible lenses are listed at:https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/support/ilc/breathing/en/ Angle of view and image quality may change slightly when this function is turned ON. Full compensation may not be possible with some lenses. This function is not available when shooting movies at 120p, when using the S&Q mode at 120p, or when shooting stills.]. The breathing metadata can also be recorded so that you can apply compensation with the latest Catalyst Browse/Prepare Plugin software during post-production.

Fast, easy touch focus control[FN|Presetting is required.]


Touch focus control allows you to precisely specify the point of focus simply by touching the LCD monitor. It's fast, easy, and intuitive to perform rack focusing through touch operation—ensuring you have full creative control of the FX3's powerful AF technology.

In-body optical image stabilisation for handheld shooting


Relying on a new high-precision stabilisation unit, gyro sensors, and optimised image stabilisation algorithms, the camera's Optical SteadyShot™ Active Mode provides precise optical image compensation, for outstanding results for 4K video recording[FN|Slight image crop in Active Mode. “Standard” setting recommended for focal lengths of 200mm or longer.] [FN|Active Mode is not available when recording at frame rates of 120 (100) fps or higher, including S&Q.], even while walking.
