Overview

The Sony FX3 offers many of the benefits of the Sony FX6 but in a form factor closer to the Sony a7S III but with some important modifications that make the FX3 an ideal hand-holdable, streamlined cinema camera. Here are the standout features:

  • With front and rear tally lamps, flat edges, 6 customizable buttons, and 1/4"-20 mounting on all sides, the FX3 offers a "cageless" design for expandability and no-fuss operability.
  • The included XLR-equipped handle unit attaches to the multi-interface shoe, providing not only important mic connections (microphone not included) but also a comfortable and stable grip that's contoured for low-angle shooting.
  • A new AF Transition Speed is available in seven settings for easy rack focusing that works in concert with the touchscreen monitor.
  • Fast Hybrid AF performance that works even at high frame rates of 120p in 4K.
  • 16-bit raw out over HDMI in 4264 x 2408 (16:9) resolution for projects demanding the most post-production control.
  • S-Cinetone mode for matching to VENICE, FX9, or FX6 cameras plus S-Log3/2 gamut support and 10-bit HLG.
  • Enjoy worry-free and uninterrupted 4K60p recording thanks to the FX3's innovative heat dissipation system without sacrificing dust and moisture resistance.
  • Access to familiar features from prior models, including 5-axis image stabilization and dual CFX Type A card slots (cards not included). Plus, the FX3 offers 1.6x the battery life of the a7S III.

In addition to all the cinema-specific features, the FX3 is also a great photography option, with a continuous shooting speed of up to 10 FPS, a massive ISO range, and a silent shooting function for weddings and sporting events.
