Sony FX2 Digital Cinema Camera with XLR Handle Unit

A new versatile tool for cinematic expression

The full-frame FX2 delivers stunning cinematic imagery, blending high resolution with beautiful bokeh. Equipped with a back-illuminated Exmor R® CMOS sensor supported by our BIONZ XR™ image processing engine and advanced AI processing unit, the camera offers high sensitivity, wide latitude, and 33 MP*1 resolution, giving ambitious cinematic visionaries all the tools they need.

AI-BASED REAL-TIME RECOGNITION AF

Equipped with a powerful AI processing unit, the FX2 is capable of Real-time Recognition AF for humans, animals, birds, vehicles and even insects*14. A detection frame indicates the recognized subject*15 and tracking can be initiated simply by touching the subject on the monitor screen. Advanced human pose estimation technology accurately recognizes subject movement, and human eye recognition has been improved by about 30% compared to the FX3/FX30.

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*2, 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. That all adds up to maximum editing efficiency 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 for footage shot with post-production*3*4 in mind. 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.

DESIGNED FOR SOLO SHOOTING

Combining advanced video functions from our Cinema Line with enhanced options for stills that support filmmaking, the FX2 is designed to handle solo shooting in a wide range of circumstances, giving you maximum flexibility.

AUTOMATIC FRAMING USING ADVANCED AI

The FX2’s Auto Framing feature automatically crops and tracks a subject to keep them in a prominent position when the camera is mounted on a tripod. The Framing Stabilizer function automatically keeps the subject in the same position within the frame, which can be useful, for example, when the camera operator is moving alongside the subject.

STABILIZATION FOR DYNAMIC HANDHELD SHOOTING

Active Mode boosts stabilization while walking and shooting. Or, for shooting at an even faster pace, there’s Dynamic active Mode that utilizes electronic stabilization for an even greater effect (up to 30%*20), making it possible to shoot stable footage even when running. Corresponding stabilization metadata is embedded in the footage for efficient post-production.

TILTABLE HIGH-DEFINITION ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER

Keep focused on shooting even in bright or distracting environments, thanks to an OLED viewfinder with approximately 3.68 million dots. Magnification is 0.70x (50mm lens, infinity focus, -1m-1 diopter), and the angle of view and eyepoint are optimized for video recording. The viewfinder itself can be rotated from 0 ° to +90° for easy viewing at just about any angle, and the eye cup can be removed or reversed left-to-right as necessary.*24

FREQUENTLY USED PARAMETERS ALL IN ONE PLACE

The FX2 inherits the BIG6 (Home) screen from high-end CineAlta cameras such as VENICE, which allows you to easily monitor six essential parameters in MOVIE mode: FPS (frame rate), ISO, Shutter (speed/angle), Aperture or ND Filter, Look, and White Balance. This screen contributes to smooth, intuitive operation, and provides quick access to Variable/Fixed parameters.

DIGITAL AUDIO WITHOUT DEGRADATION

With an XLR Handle Unit XLR-H1 attached, the FX2 can record high-quality audio via two XLR connectors and a digital audio interface without the need for extra batteries or cables. Microphones equipped with XLR connectors are available separately. Four-channel audio, 24-bit recording, and other settings can be easily applied.
