For a professional cinematic look
Cinematic expression with a full-frame sensor
The FX2 full-frame camera delivers stunning cinematic images, combining high resolution with beautiful bokeh. Featuring a backside-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS sensor that works with the BIONZ XR™ image-processing engine and advanced AI processor, it achieves high sensitivity, wide light capture, and 33MP resolution.Which delivers everything a visionary and ambitious filmmaker could want.
Excellent image quality for maximum editing flexibility
The FX2's full-frame sensor produces footage with smooth, natural gradations with 15+ stops of latitude when recording in S-Log3.This ensures that even high-contrast scenes retain their full detail. The base ISO for S-Log3 shooting can be set to 800 or 4000, and the camera supports the S-Gamut3/S-Gamut3.Cine color gamut for wide compatibility, all while maximizing editing efficiency when shooting with multiple cameras.
Log recording mode for flexible shooting
There are three Log recording modes to choose from: Flexible ISO, Cine EI, and Cine EI Quick, providing creative flexibility. Cine EI mode is widely used in professional filmmaking for capturing footage that requires post-production.You can choose a base ISO of 800 or 4000 depending on the shooting environment to maintain maximum latitude throughout the shoot, which helps to improve the specific tonal range in post-production to achieve the desired cinematic look.
Multiple recording formats for versatile shooting and editingFull-frame 4K (QFHD 3840 x 2160) shooting uses 7K oversampling with full-pixel readout and no pixel binning, and can record in 4K 60p (59.94p).Super 35mm mode with 10-bit depth, 4:2:2 color sampling, efficient MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec and Intra recording including DCI-4K (4096 x 2160) ensures excellent picture quality.
Import up to 16 user LUTsWith the FX2, you can import LUTs and apply them to the LCD monitor and electronic viewfinder either during shooting or in playback of captured movies, allowing for a more accurate preview of the final color-graded image. In addition to three presets, you can import up to 16 user LUT files.From your memory card or Sony's Creators' Cloud, and choose as needed.LUTs used in recording can be embedded in the video metadata for easy access during post-production.
Create visual moods directly from the camera.Picture profile presets make it easy to adjust colors and gradations to create a wide range of moods in-camera, including the invaluable S-Cinetone™, which produces beautiful skin tones. Imported user LUTs can be registered as PPLUTs 1 to 4 and applied during recording, and 12 versatile Creative Look profiles, including FL2 and FL3, provide a comprehensive range of picture mood options for a variety of recording needs.
Desqueeze rendering for anamorphic lensesAnamorphic lenses are a popular choice for creating a distinctive cinematic look. The FX2 features a Desqueeze display mode that allows you to monitor the standard 2.93:1 CinemaScope aspect ratio while shooting with anamorphic lenses. This mode offers 1.3x and 2.0x Desqueeze settings.Sony's Monitor & Control app also provides more detailed settings for monitoring images on tablets or other external display devices.
