Sony FX2 Digital Cinema Camera: Guide

Cinematic video signal Meets enhanced Photo acquisition

In practical monitoring terms, Equipped alongside a 33MP full-frame imager, the AI-powered Sony FX2 brings together the complete video functions of the Cinematic production Line with enhanced still picture capturing in a space-efficient, travel-friendly shape factor. Ideal for on-the-go creators and content creators, the FX2 integrates a S-Log3 photo setting with optional LUT use, as well as it sports a 3.68m-dot OLED viewfinder that tilts from 0 to 90°. The unit's AI processing unit delivers active picture stabilization as well as real-time person or object recognition, allowing for maximizing the precision of autofocus and framing.

33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor: Guide

Pairing the unit's 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R imager with a BIONZ XR processing engine, the FX2 captures vivid 4K footage with lifelike gradations, lifelike color, as well as low noise in both full-frame as well as Super 35 settings, delivering wide lens compatibility without sacrificing definition. In full-frame setting, the FX2 supplies 7K oversampling alongside full pixel readout for reliable sharpness and realism. Developed to tackle varied lighting scenarios, the FX2 contains a dynamic range increased than 15 stops, an ISO expandable up to 204800, as well as updated dual-base ISO architecture for capturing footage in S-log3 at 800 or 4000 ISO.

DCI 4K video signal recording production flow

Developed for latitude, the FX2 sessions DCI 4K footage internally alongside 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling or feeds 16-bit raw footage via a HDMI connection. Capture footage in XAVS S, S-I, as well as HS capture formats in Long GOP, All-Intra, H.264, as well as H.265 codecs. Colour and tone rendering can be tailored with precision through up to 16 user-imported LUTs or S-Cinematone setting for matching VENICE, FX9, FX6, FX3, as well as other camera sources. The FX2 integrates an intuitive Variable FPS setting for creating time-lapses as well as slow-motion footage, and it can de-squeeze 1.3 as well as 2.0x anamorphic footage, all in-camera.

Hybrid Still visual acquisition

The FX2 brings the adaptability of a hybrid capture device to the Cinematic production Line, improving still-image acquisition and adding elements such as Log shooting as well as user-LUT use.

• Built-in toggle to switch from movie to still mode
• Shoot 33MP JPG or HEIF images in S-Log3 for streamlined color grading
• Capture photos from shot marks during internal video recording or playback
• Apply previously imported user LUTs to captured still images
• Flex or base ISO settings and S-Gamut3 or S-Gamut3.Cine color spaces

AI Subject Recognition: Guide

The FX2's AI computation unit produces several improvements in autofocus, auto composition, and stabilization through deep learning. Analyzing colors, patterns, as well as depth, the processor maintains well-defined focus alongside real-time person or object recognition, identifying people, animals, as well as vehicles. Human as well as animal eye recognition is improved by 30% compared to the FX3 as well as FX30, making the FX2 well suited for fast-paced shooting scenarios, such as capturing wildlife as well as sporting events. This enhanced tracking ability also makes possible accurate auto composition, adjusting the captured composition to maintain a person or object center-frame.

Comprehensive Stabilization: Guide

Combining in-body optical picture stabilization alongside AI computation power as well as E-mount optics metadata for post-production, the FX2 includes an array of ways to eliminate imaging device shake during handheld shooting.

• 5-axis in-body optical image stabilization
• Dynamic Active Mode for stable handheld shooting
• Framing stabilizer uses advanced AI
• Shake metadata is embedded into footage for post-production

Improved Accessibility: Guide

Adopting the BIG6 main screen from premium CineAlta cameras such as the VENICE, the FX2 enables simple adjustments to FPS, ISO, shutter angle, aperture, look, as well as white balance whenever set in Movie Setting. The 3" fold-out touchscreen LCD supplies intuitive menu navigation as well as sports a tiltable configuration and 1.03m-dot definition. Unique to the FX2 is a built-in 3.68m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder alongside a 0.7x highest magnification. Tilting from 0 to 90°, the EVF contains a reversible rubber eyecup as well as 33mm eye position, allowing pinpoint composition in extreme lighting situations.
