Cinematic Expression 12.1MP Full-Frame Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor The FX3’s advanced imaging system delivers professional Cinema Line performance in an exceptionally compact body. Its back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor provides approximately 10.3 effective megapixels for movies and 12.1 effective megapixels for still images. Combined with the powerful BIONZ XR image processor, the camera captures detailed 10-bit 4K footage at frame rates up to 120 fps. The full-frame sensor provides excellent low-light performance, shallow depth of field, and more than 15 stops of dynamic range when recording with S-Log3. • Standard movie sensitivity from ISO 80 to 102400, expandable up to ISO 409600. • Dual Base ISO settings of ISO 800 and ISO 12800 when operating in Cine EI mode. • More than 15 stops of dynamic range when recording with S-Log3. • Internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording using XAVC HS, XAVC S, and XAVC S-I formats. • Full-pixel readout without pixel binning for high-quality UHD 4K recording. • Full-frame UHD 4K recording at up to 60 fps. • High-frame-rate UHD 4K recording at up to 120 fps with an approximately 1.1x crop. • Full HD slow-motion recording at up to 240 fps. • XAVC S-I DCI 4K recording at resolutions up to 4096 × 2160, including true 24.00p. • 16-bit RAW video output at 4264 × 2408 through the full-size HDMI connection to compatible external recorders. Professional Picture Control Filmmakers can capture footage that is ready for immediate delivery or record high-latitude material intended for extensive colour grading. The FX3 provides a comprehensive range of professional picture-control options: • S-Cinetone uses colour science developed for Sony’s professional Cinema Line cameras. It delivers natural skin tones, rich midtones, soft colours, and smooth highlight roll-off with minimal grading required. • Picture Profiles such as S-Log3 and HLG provide expanded dynamic range and greater flexibility during post-production. • Creative Looks can be applied during recording to establish a specific mood and reduce the amount of editing required. • Three built-in monitoring LUT presets and up to 16 user-imported LUTs can be stored in the camera. • LUTs can be used for monitoring on the camera’s LCD or through HDMI output, allowing filmmakers to preview the intended finished look while recording Log footage. • Selected user LUTs can also be assigned to Picture Profiles when a finished look needs to be recorded directly into the footage. Operation for All Levels Professional exposure tools help both developing filmmakers and experienced cinematographers get the best possible image quality from the FX3. Three dedicated Log shooting modes are available: Flexible ISO Flexible ISO allows the operator to adjust ISO sensitivity normally while recording S-Log3. It provides familiar exposure control and maximum flexibility for rapidly changing shooting conditions. Cine EI Cine EI records using one of the camera’s two Base ISO settings—ISO 800 or ISO 12800—to maintain maximum dynamic range and minimise noise. Exposure Index adjustments affect monitoring and metadata without changing the selected Base ISO of the recorded footage. Cine EI Quick Cine EI Quick simplifies professional Log operation by automatically switching between the camera’s two Base ISO settings according to the selected Exposure Index. It provides many of the image-quality advantages of Cine EI with faster, more accessible operation. Intuitive Operation and Controls Fast Hybrid AF The FX3 provides high-speed, accurate autofocus throughout its professional video-recording modes, including high-frame-rate 4K capture. Its Fast Hybrid AF system combines phase-detection and contrast-detection autofocus. • 627 phase-detection autofocus points for movie recording. • Autofocus coverage across approximately 89% of the image area in movie mode. • Real-time Eye AF helps maintain precise focus on a human subject’s eyes during video recording. • Real-time Tracking analyses subject colour, pattern, depth, and facial information to maintain reliable focus. • Adjustable AF Transition Speed and AF Subject Shift Sensitivity provide greater control over cinematic focus transitions. • AF Assist allows the operator to temporarily take control of focus by turning the focus ring of a compatible lens. • Focus Map provides a visual representation of depth and helps identify areas positioned in front of or behind the focal plane. • Touch Focus allows precise focus positioning and intuitive rack-focus movements using the rear touchscreen. 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilisation The FX3 features a 5-axis sensor-shift image-stabilisation system designed to produce smoother footage when shooting handheld. Active Mode combines the camera’s optical stabilisation system with additional digital compensation to reduce visible movement while walking or working without a gimbal. Active Mode introduces an approximately 1.1x crop and is unavailable when recording at 120 fps or higher or when using certain Slow & Quick Motion settings. The camera can also record gyro and lens metadata. Compatible footage can be stabilised during post-production using Sony’s Catalyst Browse, Catalyst Prepare, or Catalyst Prepare Plugin software. Comprehensive Professional Feature Set Many of Sony’s professional Cinema Line functions are integrated into the FX3: • Breathing Compensation reduces changes in the angle of view during focus transitions when supported lenses are used. • Focus-breathing metadata can be recorded for adjustable compensation during post-production with compatible Catalyst software. • Timecode input is supported through the Multi/Micro USB terminal using the separately available Sony VMC-BNCM1 Timecode Adapter Cable. • Front and rear tally lights provide a clear indication that recording is active. • The top REC button is illuminated during recording. • An optional red recording frame can be displayed around the LCD image for improved visibility when the camera is mounted on a rig or gimbal. • Shutter Angle operation provides familiar cinema-style shutter control. • Anamorphic de-squeeze monitoring supports 1.3x, 1.5x, 1.6x, and 2.0x ratios. • Shot Marks and clip flags can be added to assist with footage selection and post-production organisation. • Proxy files can be recorded alongside high-bitrate master footage to improve editing efficiency. Catalyst Browse and Prepare Integration The FX3 records an extensive range of metadata that can be interpreted by Sony’s Catalyst Browse, Catalyst Prepare, and Catalyst Prepare Plugin software. Supported metadata can include: • Selected LUT information. • Exposure and shooting information. • Gyro and lens-stabilisation data for post-production stabilisation. • Focus-breathing metadata for adjustable breathing compensation. • Camera-orientation and rotation metadata. • Shot Marks and clip flags for identifying preferred takes. • Lens and camera-setting information that can support post-production workflows. Ergonomic Form for Solo Operation The lightweight and compact FX3 is designed for handheld, gimbal-mounted, and solo operation.
