Bring cinema with you.
When the story finds you—on a rooftop at blue hour, in a cramped studio, or running a one-person doc—FX3 delivers the look, the reliability, and the workflow of a true cinema camera in a compact, creator-friendly body. It’s the camera you can carry everywhere and still roll all day.
Why creators love it (benefits you can feel)
-
Full-frame cinematic image, ridiculous low light. 12.1MP backside-illuminated sensor + BIONZ XR engine for clean shadows, fast readout, and a flexible 15+-stop gradeable image. Your night scenes finally look like night—without the mush.
-
Real 4K slow-mo that holds up. Capture 4K up to 120p internally in 10-bit 4:2:2 (All-Intra/Long-GOP) for creamy motion and resilient color in the grade.
-
The Sony cinema look, straight out of camera. S-Cinetone for instant, flattering skin; S-Log3 + HLG when you need maximum dynamic range and HDR delivery options.
-
Pro audio, no cage required. Detachable top handle with dual XLR/TRS inputs and on-handle controls enables up to 4-channel, 24-bit recording—no dangling boxes, no extra batteries.
-
Autofocus you can trust on set. Fast Hybrid AF with real-time Eye AF and subject tracking keeps interviews and gimbal work tack sharp.
-
Stabilized and steady. 5-axis in-body stabilization plus “Active Mode” electronic stabilization (with gyro metadata) for smoother handheld footage and easier post-stabilization.
-
Built to roll long. An internal cooling fan and heat-dissipating design enable extended takes and uninterrupted 4K60p recording in controlled conditions.
-
Cage-free rigging. Multiple 1/4-20 mounts in a rugged magnesium-alloy shell—mount mics, arms, and accessories directly and keep your build tight.
-
Plug into pro pipelines. Full-size HDMI Type-A with 16-bit RAW output for external recorders, plus TC/UB support for multi-cam sync. Dual media slots accept CFexpress Type-A or SD UHS-II for flexible, redundant workflows.
-
Operator-friendly details. Front/rear tally lamps, an illuminated REC button, and a vari-angle touchscreen make “am I rolling?” obvious from any angle.
Good to know

4K/120p uses a slight ~1.1× crop.
