FX3A Cinematic Acquisition in a Space-efficient, Streamlined Form
With a space-efficient configuration for solo shooters, for travel uses, and to serve as an well suited As a B-camera option, Sony's FX3A draws functions from the Cinematic production Line as well as Alpha range of cameras to produce an optimized portable cinematic production camera. The FX3A provides all the image-capture expected capabilities for this category while introducing a newly developed lightweight, handheld shape with a streamlined profile as well as a "cage-free" configuration offering the ability to secure several accessories straight to the imaging device body.
Expressive UHD 4K Footage Acquisition
The FX3A 12.1MP Exmor R BSI CMOS imager (10.2MP effective in footage setting) is paired alongside a BIONZ XR processing engine to achieve UHD 4K footage capture with onboard 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling or 16-bit raw feed. The sensor's BSI configuration heightens definition and rating, with an expandable ISO 80-409,600 selection and greater-than 15-stop dynamic selection for shooting in mixed lighting situations. Benefiting colour and tonal control, the S-Cinetone setting can be employed for matching to VENICE, FX9, or FX6 sources, as well as there is additionally S-Log3/2 gamut support as well as 10-bit HLG for simple HDR workflows. The sensor and processor additionally work together to greatly lower rolling shutter, and the sensor's configuration incorporates a Fast Hybrid AF platform for smart as well as quick focusing
FX3A 4K Full-Frame CMOS Exmor R Imager
A 12.1MP Exmor R imager and BIONZ XR processor supply the FX3 true cinematic expression alongside 10.2MP effective footage and 12.1MP stills acquisition. The full-frame sensor supplies shallow separation of focus area looks, notable bokeh, as well as reduced rolling shutter artifacts. A starting sensitivity of 80-102,400 extends to a high 409,600 for notable low-light acquisition, and 15+ stops of dynamic selection reproduce the nuances of both spectacular exteriors as well as carefully lit inside scenes alongside plenty of allowance for colour grading.
