With a compact design for solo shooters, travel applications, and to serve as an ideal B cam, the Sony FX3 borrows from both the Cinema Line and Alpha series of cameras to create an optimized portable cinema camera. The FX3 features all of the imaging attributes you'd expect from this class but sports a newly designed body that's hand-holdable, with a streamlined and minimal profile, and has a "cage-free" design, indicating the ability to secure 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 UHD 4K video capture with internal 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling or 16-bit raw output. The sensor's BSI design heightens clarity and sensitivity, with an expandable ISO 80-409600 range and greater-than 15-stop dynamic range for working in mixed lighting conditions. Benefitting color and tonal control, an S-Cinetone mode can be used for matching to VENICE, FX9, or FX6 sources and there is also S-Log3/2 gamut support and 10-bit HLG for simple HDR productions. The sensor and processor also work together to greatly reduce rolling shutter and the sensor's design incorporates a Fast Hybrid AF system for intelligent and quick focusing performance and subject tracking.Beyond the physical design just being compact, it's also built to maximize efficiency and operability through the inclusion of an articulating 3.0" touchscreen LCD, a removable shoe-mounted top handle with dual XLR mic inputs, and 5-axis mechanical image stabilization for smoother handheld recording.Note: The Sony ECM-XM1 Microphone is not included.Most Compact Member of the Cinema Line FamilyThis compact addition to Sony's Cinema Line blends the full-frame, S-Cinetone capture of the FX6 with the UHD 4K capture, autofocus options, and body size of the a7S III camera. The video-forward design of the FX3 also shares several handling and audio features with the FX6 and the ISO range and battery of the a7S III.Common FX3/FX6/a7S III FeaturesFull-frame, back-illuminated 12.1MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processorHigh-speed rates of 120p in 4K and 240p in HDDynamic range of 15+ stopsShared FX3/FX6 AttributesS-Cinetone, S-Log3, HLG, and Rec. 709 gamma optionsTally lamps on the front, side, and rearInternal fan to prevent overheatingZoom leverShared FX3/A7S III Attributes5-axis in-body image stabilization16-bit raw output via HDMIS-Log2 gamma choice80 to 409,6000 ISO range (expanded)Improved FX3 FeaturesComfortable, cage-free, handheld operationGreater than 1.6x battery runtime compared to a7S IIUSB-PD power option for extended shooting times4K Full-Frame CMOS Exmor R SensorThe 12.1MP Exmor R sensor and BIONZ XR processor offer true cinematic expression with 10.2MP effective video and 12.1MP stills capture.
