Its compact form factor ensures unmatched flexibility for solo creators, making it a perfect companion for travel, documentary production, or as a secondary camera on set. Equipped with a full-frame sensor and robust color science inspired by the Cinema Line, the FX3 delivers exceptional image quality, dynamic range, and low-light performance. Adding to its versatility, the "cage-free" design incorporates built-in mounting points, allowing seamless attachment of accessories like monitors, microphones, or handles, while reducing the need for external rigs. Whether you're shooting handheld or setting up versatile workflows, the FX3 empowers creators to achieve seamless cinematic results with ease.

Breathtaking 4K UHD Video for Any Occasion

The FX3's advanced processing and sensor design go beyond video capabilities to enhance usability and efficiency during production. Its compact and lightweight body is optimized for handheld shooting, while a full-size HDMI port, USB PD support, and dual CFexpress Type A/SD card slots offer seamless connectivity and versatile media options. Additionally, the camera includes a built-in five-axis in-body image stabilization system, which is particularly effective for handheld shooting, providing up to 5 stops of compensation to minimize the effects of camera shake. Customizable buttons, multiple mounting points, and an ergonomic design further cater to the needs of filmmakers seeking a streamlined, professional workflow.

4K Full-Frame Exmor R Sensor

The FX3 is designed to meet the high standards of modern filmmakers and content creators, offering performance that seamlessly integrates into professional workflows. With its advanced 12.1MP Exmor R full-frame sensor and the powerful BIONZ XR processor, the camera ensures exceptional image quality in both stills and video. Its ability to capture 10.2MP effective video and deliver 12.1MP still images unlocks creative flexibility, producing cinematic visuals with remarkable sharpness and detail. The full-frame sensor also enhances artistic expression with a stunningly shallow depth of field, smooth and creamy bokeh, and minimal rolling shutter issues.

S-Cinetone Color

The FX3 is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Sony Cinema Line, making it an ideal companion for professional filmmakers. Its default S-Cinetone color setting ensures natural-looking skin tones and a subtle, cinematic aesthetic that pairs beautifully with footage from VENICE, FX9, or FX6 cameras. With support for S-Log-3, S-Gamut3, S-Gamut3.Cine, and 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, the FX3 excels in preserving rich color gradations and maintaining consistency across various projects. Additionally, the inclusion of HLG HDR allows for direct-to-display HLG playback, eliminating the need for extensive color grading while delivering stunning HDR visuals.

Video Recording

With support for 4K 120p recording, you can achieve breathtaking 5x slow-motion footage at 24p output, giving you the creative freedom to emphasize every moment. The system further supports DCI 4K+ 16-bit raw output over HDMI to compatible recorders, while simultaneously offering XAVC 4K recording and proxy files directly in-camera for streamlined workflows. For internal recording, options include 4K 4:2:2 10-bit color with both All-Intra and Long GOP codecs to ensure exceptional color accuracy and versatility. A built-in silent cooling fan and heatsink prevent overheating, allowing uninterrupted performance during extended 4K60 sessions. Additionally, dual card slots offer seamless integration with CFexpress Type A and SDXC cards, providing flexible options for relay or backup recording. For even greater flexibility, super 35mm 1080p recording at up to 240p enables smooth, high-speed capture ideal for creative projects.

Steady Focus

Now, even solo shooters can keep their shots sharp and in focus, thanks to real-time Tracking and Eye Autofocus powered by AI-based algorithms. With a simple touchscreen focus function, staying locked on your subject has never been easier. These tools make focusing precise and shooting smooth, taking your work to the next level. Plus, with seven AF Transition Speed options, you can effortlessly adjust focus to match the flow of your scene. Five AF Subject Shift settings let you tweak how quickly the focus moves from a locked-on subject, giving you total control for dynamic shots. The Fast Hybrid AF system steps it up with 627 focus points covering about 89% of the frame, ensuring crisp, accurate focus across a wide area. Together, these features make achieving professional-quality results easy, even in tricky conditions.

"Ergonomic Designs for Effortless Solo Efficiency"

The FX3's cage-free design enables you to mount ¼"-20 compatible accessories directly on the camera or the detachable handle, saving you the weight and setup/breakdown time of a camera cage. The clustered record button, focus and menu controls, and six assignable buttons all help to enable single-handed control, leaving your left hand free for balancing or controlling your lens. The fold-out 3" touchscreen LCD boasts a sharp 2.35MP resolution and can be tilted and adjusted to various angles, offering optimal viewing flexibility. Whether you're shooting from low angles, high angles, or even selfies, this versatile display ensures clear framing and accessibility to the camera's menus and settings, enhancing convenience during filming or photography.

Matthew ★★★★★

The dual native ISO on this camera is a game-changer for low-light shoots, letting me capture clean footage at night without extra lighting. It’s surprisingly lightweight for a cinema body, which saved my arms during a full day of handheld work.

Hazel ★★★★★

Coming from DSLRs, the FX3's compact body is a game-changer—I can actually fit it in a small bag for run-and-gun shoots. The high-ISO performance is stunning, making low-light scenes look clean without extra lighting gear.

Timothy ★★★★★

The fan on this camera is whisper-quiet even during long shoots, so you never have to worry about noise ruining a take. Being able to rig it up with just a cage and small lens makes it feel like a real cinema camera that actually fits in a backpack.
