Description
Carry light. Shoot cinema.
When the brief says “move fast, look cinematic,” FX30 shows up. It packs Sony Cinema Line color, pro audio, and rock-solid tools into a compact Super 35 body you can rig or run solo. Think rooftop interviews, fast street docs, BTS, product spots, and travel films—clean 4K, confident autofocus, and operator-first ergonomics that keep you rolling.
Why you’ll love it (facts → real-world benefits)
-
Super 35 look, clean detail: 4K is oversampled from a higher-resolution sensor for crisp, gradeable footage with that familiar cinema S35 perspective.
-
Slow-mo that holds up: Record 4K up to 120p (and FHD up to 240p) in 10-bit 4:2:2 All-Intra or Long-GOP for creamy motion and resilient color in the grade.
-
Cinematic color, ready now or later: S-Cinetone for great skin straight out of camera; S-Log3, Cine EI, and user LUTs when you want maximum dynamic range and a consistent on-set/ post look.
-
Autofocus you can trust: Fast Hybrid AF with Real-time Eye AF and subject tracking keeps interviews, gimbal moves, and walk-and-talks tack sharp.
-
Stabilized handhelds: 5-axis IBIS plus Active Mode (with gyro metadata) for smoother handheld footage and easier post-stabilization.
-
Pro audio, no cage required: Included XLR handle unit adds dual XLR/TRS inputs with on-handle controls, enabling up to 4-channel/24-bit capture.
-
Built to roll long: Internal cooling and a heat-dissipating chassis support extended takes and reliable 4K recording in real-world conditions.
-
Cage-free rigging: Multiple 1/4-20 mounts, tally lamps, big REC button, and a vari-angle touchscreen keep small crews fast and functional.
-
Plug into pro pipelines: Full-size HDMI Type-A with 16-bit RAW output, dual media slots (CFexpress Type-A or SD UHS-II), and breathing-compensation support with compatible lenses.
