Sony FX3 Full Frame Cinema Camera

Compactly designed for solo shooters, travel applications and to serve as an ideal B-camera, the Sony FX3 borrows from the Cinema Line and Alpha series of cameras to create an optimized portable cinema camera. The FX3 features all the image attributes you'd expect from this class, but sports a newly designed hand-held body with a minimal, aerodynamic profile and has a "cage-free" design, indicating capability. of securing various accessories. directly to the camera body.
Its 12.1MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor (10.2MP effective in video mode) pairs with a BIONZ XR processor to achieve 4K UHD video capture with internal 10-bit 4: 2: 2 sampling or 16-bit raw output. bits. The sensor's BSI design increases clarity and sensitivity, with an expandable ISO 80-409600 range and a dynamic range of more than 15 stops for working in mixed lighting conditions. Taking advantage of color and tone control, an S-Cinetone mode can be used to match VENICE, FX9 or FX6 sources and there is also support for the S-Log3 / 2 gamut and 10-bit HLG for simple HDR productions. The sensor and processor also work together to greatly reduce blindness, and the sensor design incorporates a Fast Hybrid AF system for fast, smart focusing performance and subject tracking.
Beyond the simply compact physical design, it is also built to maximize efficiency and operability through the inclusion of an articulated 3.0 "LCD touchscreen, a removable shoe-mounted top handle with dual XLR mic inputs, and stabilization of 5-axis mechanical imaging for smoother handheld recording.
Note:
Sony ECM-XM1 microphone is not included.
Most compact member of the Cinema Line family
This compact addition to Sony's Cinema Line combines the FX6's full-frame S-Cinetone capture with 4K UHD capture, autofocus options, and the a7S III camera body size. The FX3's video advance design also shares several handling and audio characteristics with the FX6 and the a7S III's ISO range and battery.
