The FX2 is built for performance, catering to filmmakers and content creators who demand precision, versatility, and exceptional image quality. 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-Log3, 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 color gamuts for broad compatibility. It all adds up to make editing more efficient when shooting with multiple cameras. Log recording modes for production flexibility For creative flexibility, there are three modes available for Log recording — Flexible ISO, Cine EI, and Cine EI Quick — with Cine EI widely used in professional filmmaking on footage that requires more intensive work in post-production. Based on the shooting environment, choose a base ISO of either 800 or 4000 to maintain maximum latitude throughout the shoot, allowing specific tonal ranges to be enhanced in post production to achieve your desired cinematic look. Multiple recording formats for versatile shooting and editing The advanced processing capabilities ensure maximum image clarity and detail, meeting the demands of professional videographers and content creators. The inclusion of 10-bit depth and 4:2:2 color sampling allows for richer color grading options, making it suitable for high-dynamic-range (HDR) workflows. Utilizing the MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec not only delivers superior compression efficiency but also maintains exceptional video quality, even at lower bitrates. Furthermore, the option for DCI-4K (4096 x 2160) recording in Intra format provides cinematic-quality footage, ideal for film production. Combined with the flexibility to switch between full-frame and Super 35mm modes, the system is built to adapt to various creative needs and environments. Import up to 16 user LUTs With the FX2, LUTs can be imported and applied to both the LCD monitor and the electronic viewfinder during shooting or playback of movies. This feature allows for precise color grading and monitoring directly on set. Users can import up to 16 custom LUT files from memory cards or Sony’s Creators’ Cloud, providing a versatile and flexible workflow. Additionally, the LUT selected for recording can be embedded in the video’s metadata, ensuring seamless integration and efficiency during post-production. Create moods right in the camera Picture Profile presets provide an exceptional level of creative control, allowing users to tailor color and gradation directly in-camera to suit different moods and styles. Among these, S-Cinetone™ stands out as a versatile option, renowned for delivering stunning, natural-looking skin tones that elevate visual storytelling. For further customization, user-imported LUTs can be registered as PPLUT 1 to 4, enabling seamless application during recording. Additionally, the newly expanded set of 12 Creative Look profiles—featuring options like FL2 and FL3—gives creators an extensive toolkit to craft distinctive visual atmospheres for a wide array of production scenarios. Desqueeze display for anamorphic lenses Anamorphic lenses are a popular choice for creating a distinctly cinematic look. The FX2 is equipped with a desqueeze display mode that allows monitoring in the standard CinemaScope aspect ratio of 2.93:1 while shooting with anamorphic lenses. It offers 1.3x and 2.0x desqueeze settings, enabling filmmakers to achieve precise compositions directly in-camera. Additionally, Sony’s Monitor & Control app provides enhanced flexibility by offering detailed settings for monitoring on a tablet or other external display devices, ensuring seamless collaboration and greater control during production. Frame rate freedom An FPS menu inherits features from Cinema Line higher-end models, including a Variable setting that allows intuitive frame-rate control. This enables up to 2.5x slow motion at 4K resolution or up to 5x slow motion when recording in Full HD at a maximum of 120 fps. Such versatility provides creators with enhanced flexibility to achieve dynamic visual storytelling. AI-based Real-time Recognition AF The FX2 also boasts remarkable versatility in various shooting conditions, thanks to its enhanced subject detection and tracking algorithms.

Whether capturing fast-paced sports or intricate wildlife movements, the FX2 delivers exceptional performance. Additionally, the intuitive touch interface on the monitor screen simplifies operation, allowing users to effortlessly switch focus or initiate tracking with a simple tap, streamlining the creative workflow for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Fine-tuned focus control AF Assist allows seamless switching to manual focus for smooth focus transitions, while a range of 7 autofocus transition speed settings and 5 sensitivity settings offer detailed control. Focus Map makes it easier to visualize depth of field by overlaying focus info on the live view display, and the Breathing Compensation function18 can significantly enhance image stability. These advanced features provide filmmakers and content creators with unparalleled precision, enabling them to achieve professional-quality results effortlessly. Whether capturing a dynamic scene or a subtle moment, these tools ensure a flawless and adaptable focusing experience. Automatic framing using advanced AI The FX2’s advanced features are designed to enhance video production with minimal effort. The Auto Framing feature intelligently identifies and tracks the subject, ensuring they remain the focal point of the frame, even during dynamic scenes. This capability is particularly beneficial for solo content creators or interviews, as it replicates the precision of a professional camera operator. Additionally, the Framing Stabilizer function provides an extra layer of stability by maintaining the subject's position within the frame. This is especially useful in scenarios where the camera operator is in motion, such as following the subject during an active shoot, creating smooth and professional-looking footage every time. Stabilization for dynamic handheld shooting Active Mode enhances stabilization while walking and filming, ensuring smoother and more professional-looking footage. For more intense, fast-paced scenarios, Dynamic Active Mode offers up to 30% greater stabilization thanks to advanced electronic stabilization techniques. This makes it possible to capture stable footage even while running or engaging in high-movement activities. Additionally, stabilization metadata is embedded directly into the footage, streamlining post-production and allowing for more efficient editing workflows. Tiltable high-definition electronic viewfinder With such versatility, the OLED viewfinder ensures you can remain focused on your subject, no matter the conditions.
