Features

Cinematic expression with a full-frame sensor
The 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 flexibility
The FX2's full-frame sensor produces footage with smooth, natural gradations thanks to 15+ stops of latitude when recording with S-Log312, 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 colour gamuts for broad compatibility. That all adds up to maximum editing efficiency when shooting with multiple cameras.

Multiple recording formats for versatile shooting and editing
7K 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 colour sampling, an efficient MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec, and Intra recording including DCI-4K (4096 x 2160), outstanding quality is assured.

[1] Recording format [2] Shooting frame rate [3] Recording frame rate16 [4] When recording in XAVC HS format, 29.97p or 25p is not available.

An extensive range of expressive E-mount lenses
Sony 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.

AI-based Real-time Recognition AF
Equipped 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 recognised subject and tracking can be initiated simply by touching the subject on the monitor screen. Advanced human pose estimation technology accurately recognises subject movement, and human eye recognition has been improved by about 30% compared to the FX3/FX30.

Automatic framing using advanced AI
The 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.

Stabilisation for dynamic handheld shooting
Active Mode boosts stabilisation while walking and shooting. Or, for shooting at an even faster pace, there’s Dynamic active Mode that utilises electronic stabilisation for as much as 30% greater effect, making it possible to shoot stable footage even when running around. Corresponding stabilisation metadata is embedded in the footage for efficient post production.

Stills at the flip of a switch
A 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.

Tiltable high-definition electronic viewfinder
Keep 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 dioptre), and the angle of view and eyepoint are optimised for video recording. The viewfinder itself can be rotated from 0 ° to +90° for easy viewing at just about any angle, and the eye cup can be removed or reversed left-to-right as necessary.

Effective heat management
Enjoy 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 stabilisation 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.

Digital audio without degradation
With an XLR Handle Unit XLR-H1 attached, the FX2 can record high-quality audio via two XLR connectors and a digital audio interface without the need for extra batteries or cables. Microphones equipped with XLR connectors are available separately. Four-channel audio, 24-bit recording, and other settings can be easily applied.

4:2:2 10-bit or 16-bit RAW output via HDMI
An HDMI Type-A terminal enables 4K 60p (59.94p) 4:2:2 10-bit or 16-bit RAW video output to an external recorder for flexible post production. 16-bit RAW video is output at 4672 x 2628 resolution (16:9 aspect ratio), which also covers DCI-4K (4096 x 2160), with selectable [59.94p]/[29.97p]/[23.98p]/[24.00p] frame rates. Video output via HDMI can occur simultaneously with proxy recording to an internal memory card.

CFexpress Type A memory card support
Two card slots support SDXC/SDHC UHS-II/UHS-I memory cards, with one also supporting CFexpress Type A cards, giving you plenty of options for stable and reliable high-bitrate recording. Select the recording mode to suit your needs: video and stills can be recorded to different cards, recording can be automatically switched to a second card when the first is full, and more.
