Featuring a 33MP full-frame sensor, the AI-enhanced Sony FX2 merges the extensive video functionalities of the Cinema Line with improved still image capture in a compact, travel-friendly design. Perfect for filmmakers and content creators on the move, the FX2 includes an S-Log3 photo mode with the option to apply LUTs, and boasts a 3.68m-Dot OLED viewfinder that can tilt from 0 to 90°. Its AI processing unit ensures active image stabilization and real-time subject recognition, which enhances the precision of auto focus and framing. 33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor Combining its 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R sensor with a BIONZ XR processor, the FX2 is capable of capturing vibrant 4K video characterized by natural gradations, realistic colors, and minimal noise in both full-frame and Super 35 modes, ensuring extensive lens compatibility without compromising resolution. In full-frame mode, the FX2 provides 7K oversampling with complete pixel readout, resulting in outstanding sharpness and realism. Engineered to handle a variety of lighting conditions, the FX2 boasts a dynamic range exceeding 15 stops, an ISO that can be expanded up to 102400, and enhanced dual-base ISO technology for recording footage in S-log3 at either 800 or 4000 ISO. Log Recording Modes To ensure creative flexibility, Log recording offers three modes: Flexible ISO, Cine EI, and Cine EI Quick. Among these, Cine EI is predominantly utilized in professional filmmaking for footage that necessitates extensive post-production work. Depending on the shooting conditions, select a base ISO of either 800 or 4000 to preserve maximum latitude during the shoot, enabling specific tonal ranges to be refined in post-production to realize your intended cinematic appearance. DCI 4K Video Recording Engineered for adaptability, the FX2 captures DCI 4K video internally with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling, or it can output 16-bit raw footage through an HDMI connection. Record video in XAVC S, S-I, and HS formats utilizing Long GOP, All-Intra, H.264, and H.265 codecs. Color and tonal reproduction can be meticulously adjusted with up to 16 user-imported LUTs or by employing the S-Cinematone mode to match the characteristics of VENICE, FX9, FX6, FX3, and other camera systems. The FX2 is equipped with a user-friendly Variable FPS feature for producing timelapses and slow-motion videos, and it is capable of de-squeezing 1.3 and 2.0x anamorphic footage, all within the camera itself. Hybrid Still-Image Capture A single switch allows the selection of either MOVIE or STILL mode, instantly recalling all associated settings. Besides offering a resolution of 33 MP and the capability for continuous bursts at a rate of up to 10 fps, the camera features a function for [Creating still images from Shot Marks], enabling you to capture still images while recording or playing back video that has a user LUT previously imported. The Log mode is also accessible for still images, allowing for the capture of JPEG and HEIF still photographs utilizing the S-Log3 gamma curve employed during video recording, thereby facilitating a consistent workflow during post-production. Enhance your still images in editing software like Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, prepared for diverse applications while preserving the same aesthetic. AI Subject Recognition The AI processing unit of the FX2 offers numerous enhancements in auto focus, auto framing, and stabilization through the application of deep learning. By analyzing colors, patterns, and depth, the processor ensures sharp focus with real-time subject recognition, capable of identifying individuals, animals, and vehicles. Compared to the FX3 and FX30, human and animal eye recognition has been enhanced by 30%, rendering the FX2 particularly suitable for dynamic shooting situations, such as wildlife photography and sporting events. This sophisticated tracking capability also facilitates accurate auto framing, modifying the recorded composition to keep the subject centered in the frame. Comprehensive Stabilization Active Mode enhances stabilization during walking and shooting. For a more rapid shooting experience, there is Dynamic Active Mode, which employs electronic stabilization to achieve an effect that is up to 30% more effective, allowing for stable footage capture even while in motion. Relevant stabilization metadata is included in the footage to facilitate efficient post-production. Improved Accessibility The FX2 inherits the BIG6 home screen from high-end CineAlta cameras like the VENICE, enabling straightforward adjustments to FPS, ISO, shutter angle, aperture, look, and white balance when in Movie Mode. The 3" fold-out touchscreen LCD facilitates intuitive menu navigation and features a tiltable design with a resolution of 1.03m-Dot. A distinctive feature of the FX2 is its integrated 3.68m-Dot OLED electronic viewfinder, which offers a maximum magnification of 0.7x. The EVF tilts from 0 to 90°, includes a reversible rubber eye cup, and has a 33mm eye point, ensuring precise framing even in challenging lighting conditions. Connectivity & Compatibility The FX2 offers extensive connectivity options, including various choices for power input, internal video recording, data output, and both wireless and USB streaming. USB-C port for PD fast charging or LAN link using a gigabit ethernet adaptor Stream at 2.4/5 GHz over Wi-Fi, or 5 GB/s via USB-C connection One CFexpress Type A/SDXC card slot, one SD card slot, and one HDMI output Multi-interface hot shoe, micro-USB port and 3.5mm mic and headphone jacks Compatible with separately available XLR-H1 Handle Unit for expanded control and audio options Ergonomic Design Constructed from a lightweight yet durable Magnesium alloy, the FX2 features an enhanced heat-dissipating design and an integrated cooling fan, which guarantees seamless 4K60 recording. The upgraded handgrip accommodates a single 16.4Wh NP-FZ100 battery and includes one of the camera's five 1/4"-20 female threads—three designated for accessories and two for mounting plates. Numerous functions are equipped with specific controls, such as the power switch, record button, movie/still switch, zoom lever, playback button, and control dials, while an additional seven buttons are available for user-assignable functions.
