Bringing Sony's proud image sensor technology together with a back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor and the latest image processing engine for unparalleled imaging performance. Equipped with a back-illuminated 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor and the latest image processing engine, BIONZ XR. The back-illuminated sensor employs high-speed copper wiring for high-speed data readout, and the included AD conversion process speeds up data readout from the sensor. It supports up to 4:2:2 10-bit 4K (QFHD) 120p video recording and reduces rolling shutter distortion. Furthermore, the sensor employs the latest color filter for improved color fidelity. By optimizing the output signal level based on the amount of incident light within the sensor, it achieves high sensitivity and low noise performance across the entire sensitivity range. In addition to a standard ISO sensitivity range of 80 to 102400 (80-409600 when expanded), the camera offers a wide 15+ stop latitude. High-frame-rate video recording up to 120 fps (4K) is supported. Smooth slow-motion at up to 5x the original 4K resolution is also supported. Supports 4:2:2 10-bit sampling and offers two compression formats: Long GOP, which uses inter-frame differential information for compression, and Intra (All-I), which compresses frame-by-frame for high-quality recording. Furthermore, S&Q mode allows playback of recorded footage in slow motion or fast motion, and high-quality recording at up to 600 Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, H.264, All-I) is possible when recording in XAVC S-I at 60p. At Full HD resolution, the camera achieves 240 fps and up to 10x slow motion (24p recording). It captures dynamic sports scenes with impressive detail and supports AF. The FX3's advanced focus performance transforms video shooting. It features on-chip phase-detection AF. Its 627 on-chip phase-detection AF points for video (759 for still images) ensure constant subject tracking. It also features real-time tracking and real-time eye AF. It supports precise AF transition speed, AF subject shift sensitivity, touch tracking, and AF support during manual focus. It delivers stable AF performance and versatile focus adjustments under a variety of shooting conditions. An XLR handle unit is included for flexible handheld shooting. The included XLR handle unit features an XLR adapter with two XLR terminals and is compatible with digital audio interfaces. When combined with a separately sold XLR microphone, audio is transmitted directly to the camera as a digital signal, ensuring lossless, high-quality recording. Depending on the camera's settings, it also supports digital 4-channel and 24-bit audio recording. The integrated handle and cable- and battery-free design not only contribute to greater flexibility and noise reduction during shooting, but also ease the burden of setup and teardown. A switch on the top handle allows quick, one-handed power on/off for the XLR adapter. Three accessory screw holes allow for secure attachment of external monitors, recorders, external batteries, video lights, extension grips, wireless microphone receivers, and more via an accessory shoe kit. The FX3's cage-free design is a major feature of its mobility, allowing peripherals to be attached directly to the camera body without the need for a cage. Five mounting screw holes allow for secure attachment of a variety of accessories, while eliminating the need for a cage makes the entire system lighter and more compact. This facilitates handheld shooting, shortens setup and teardown times during time-constrained shoots, and improves portability for travel, including by plane. The included XLR handle unit also features three accessory screw holes (two on the top and one on the back), allowing for secure attachment of external monitor/recorders, external batteries, video lights, extension grips, wireless microphone receivers, and more via an accessory shoe kit.
The vari-angle LCD monitor enhances shooting flexibility. The rear monitor features a side-opening vari-angle mechanism that allows for flexible movement—176 degrees horizontally, 180 degrees upward, and 90 degrees downward—allowing for versatile framing and angle adjustments to suit any situation, whether it's handheld shooting, gimbal shooting, selfies, or capturing powerful shots from a low, ground-level position. The angle can also be adjusted without interference from HDMI cables. Furthermore, the large 3.0-inch, approximately 2.36 million-dot touchscreen LCD screen provides excellent visibility for outdoor shooting, supporting outdoor sunny weather mode and manual settings. In addition to touch tracking and touch focus, it also now supports touch operation of menus and function menus. Dual slots compatible with CFexpress Type A memory cards. The camera features dual slots compatible with both CFexpress Type A and SDXC memory cards. (*) Both slot 1 (top) and slot 2 (bottom) support the new CFexpress Type A memory cards and SDXC/SDHC UHS-II/UHS-I memory cards, allowing for faster recording of large volumes of data. CFexpress Type A memory cards are ideal for high-bitrate 4K video, and their high-speed write performance ensures stable recording of high-resolution video. Of course, you can also set simultaneous recording and relay recording (automatic media switching) from the recording media settings menu. (*CFexpress Type B memory cards are not supported.)
