Sony is introducing the FX2, an entry point camera into the company’s Cinema Line range.
The FX2 features a 33.0 effective megapixel1 back-illuminated Exmor R sensor, with up to 15+ stops of wide latitude using S-Log3.
The camera is equipped with Dual Base ISO for S-Log 3 of 800 and 4000, enabling optimal image quality across varied lighting conditions, said Sony.
The FX2 ISO sensitivity for video can be expanded up to 102400, making it ideal for low-light environments. It also supports multiple recording formats for flexible post production workflows and records in 4:2:2 10-bit All-Intra, supporting formats like XAVC S-I DCI 4K at 24.00p, among others, added the company.
The camera can handle up to 13 hours of continuous recording in 4K 60p2, and offers variable frame rate settings, allowing up to 60 fps in 4K (for a maximum 2.5x slow-motion effect) and up to 120 fps in Full HD (for up to 5x slow motion).
It supports Log shooting in Cine EI, Cine EI Quick, and Flexible ISO modes, offering versatile workflows for different production needs. To further the cinematic expression of the camera, creatives can import up to 16 user LUTs for on-camera preview for video, enabling precise colour monitoring on set, said Sony.
“The FX2 was developed in response to customer feedback, designed as an accessible full-frame filmmaking camera that incorporates unique features to enhance the filmmaking experience,” said Yann Salmon-Legagneur, head of IP&S marketing, Sony Europe. “Notable among these is the new tiltable viewfinder, which significantly improves usability and meets production demands.
