The Sony FX2 is a full-frame camera in the Cinema Line that inherits the visual philosophy of Sony's top-level VENICE series. With high mobility, operability, expandability and reliability, it’s ideal for solo shooting, and features enhanced still image functions designed to support filmmaking.

Cinematic Expression with a Full-Frame Sensor.

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.

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, 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-Gamut.Cine colour 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 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.

Multiple Recording Formats for Versatile Shooting and Editing.

7K oversampling is used with full pixel readout and no pixel binning when shooting full-frame 4K (QFHD 3840 x 2160), and 4K 60p (59.94p)*5 recording is available in Super 35mm mode. Professional quality is supported by 10-bit depth, 4:2:2 colour sampling, an efficient MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec, and Intra recording including DCI-4K (4096 x 2160).

Import up to 16 User LUTs.

With the FX2, LUTs can be imported and applied to the LCD monitor and the electronic viewfinder while shooting or playing back movies. Up to 16 user LUT files can be imported from memory cards or Sony’s Creators’ Cloud and selected as needed. The LUT used for recording can then be embedded in the video metadata.

Create Moods Right in the Camera.

Picture Profile presets make it easy to adjust colour and gradation to create a variety of moods in camera. These include the acclaimed S-Cinetone™, which can help produce beautiful skin tones. Imported user LUTs can be registered as PPLUT 1 to 4 and applied during recording, and an expanded range of 12 Creative Look profiles, including FL2 and FL3, offers a comprehensive selection of visual moods for many recording needs.

Desqueeze Display for Anamorphic Lenses.

Anamorphic lenses are a popular choice for creating a distinctly cinematic look. The FX2 is equipped with a desqueeze display mode that allows monitoring in the standard CinemaScope aspect ratio of 2.93:1 while shooting with anamorphic lenses. It offers 1.3x and 2.0x desqueeze settings, and Sony’s Monitor & Control app provides even more detailed settings for monitoring on a tablet or other external display devices.

Frame Rate Freedom.

An FPS menu inherits features from our professional Cinema Line models, including a [Variable] setting that allows intuitive frame-rate control: up to 2.5x slow motion at 4K resolution, or up to 5x slow motion when recording in Full HD at up to 120 fps.

Compact and Lightweight with Built-In Accessory Mount Points.

With the same compact flat-top design as the Cinema Line FX3 and FX30, the FX2 is ideal for handheld shooting as well as gimbal and drone mounting. The magnesium alloy exterior has 1/4-20 (UNC) screw holes in three locations for mounting accessories, and two additional screw holes are located on the bottom panel for secure tripod mounting.

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. A detection frame indicates the recognized subject 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.

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%), making it possible to shoot stable footage even when running. Corresponding stabilization metadata is embedded in the footage for efficient post-production.

Visual Consistency Across Stills and Video.

The Log mode is also available for stills, making it possible to shoot JPEG and HEIF still images with the S-Log3 gamma curve used during a video shoot, so the same workflow can be easily applied during post-production. Transform your stills in editing applications such as Black Magic Design DaVinci Resolve, ready for a variety of uses while maintaining the same look.

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.

Effective Heat Management.

Enjoy uninterrupted video recording time for formats up to 4K 59.94p. Heat buildup is prevented through a combination of an internal cooling fan, a highly thermal conductive graphite material used in the image stabilization unit, and an innovative design that allows ample air intake even when the LCD monitor is closed. The cooling fan has three modes that can be selected according to shooting conditions: Auto, Minimum, and Off while Recording.

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.

*XLR-H1 not included.

Easy Live Streaming.

The FX2 is also a great choice for live streaming to a computer via USB (UVC/UAC) or a wireless or wired LAN network. You can stream up to 4K (3840 x 2160) 59.94p video via LAN while simultaneously recording to the camera’s memory card. LAN streaming protocols include RTMP, RTMPS, and SRT.

4:2:2 10-Bit or 16-Bit RAW Output Via HDMI.

An HDMI Type-A terminal enables 4K 60p (59.94p) 4:2:2 10-bit or 16-bit RAW video output to an external recorder for flexible post-production. 16-bit RAW video is output at 4672 x 2628 resolution (16:9 aspect ratio), which also covers DCI-4K (4096 x 2160), with selectable [59.94p]/[29.97p]/[23.98p]/[24.00p] frame rates. Video output via HDMI can occur simultaneously with proxy recording to an internal memory card.
