Unwavering clarity and silver screen aesthetics
Whether shooting still images or video, the FX30 Super 35 Digital Camera is outfitted with everything you need to achieve your desired shot. The onboard 20.1-megapixel Exmor R APC-C CMOS sensor produces immensely detailed visuals. Meanwhile, Fast Hybrid and Real-time Tracking Eye AF technologies have been optimized to give you the support needed for dynamic capturing environments, allowing you to keep your focus on what matters most. Leveraging Sony’s state-of-the-art, AI-based real-time tracking, a variety of subjects like humans, birds, and animals are readily followed with ease. The Super 35-millimeter format yields a wide dynamic range, serving as a solid foundation for the array of aesthetic-shaping tools found within the FX30. With S-Cinetone, for example, you’ll produce evocative, cinema-grade visuals without any additional grading. Of course, built-in editing tools let you make detailed, on-the-fly edits, thanks to the BIONZ XR processing engine and the extensive color grading afforded by the S-Log3 gamma curve.
Realize what you visualize
Artistic versatility abounds in this portability-minded powerhouse, and the inspiring ethos of Sony’s Cinema Line series is on full display with the FX30. Its 6K oversampling compresses a wealth of detailed visual data into a 4K recording and output, ensuring low noise, realistic colors, natural gradations, and unrelenting visual clarity. Of course, noise and lighting go hand in hand, and the Dual Base ISO feature lets you manually toggle between 2500 and 800 ISO bases, helping you more readily obtain crisp footage across numerous lighting circumstances. For maximum mobility, the FX30’s Active Mode deploys 5-axis image stabilization technology, intelligently balancing the process of optical compensation with a gyroscope sensor, making it possible for handheld shooting to achieve clear, reliable 4K visuals without the need for a gimbal. If you want to slow things down, the FX30’s slow-motion mode captures at 4K with up to 120 frames per second, allowing for smooth, detailed imagery that moves at the speed of your storytelling.
Flexible connectivity for your workflow needs
Sony’s FX30 may feature an impressive swath of onboard editing tools, a foldable touch-panel LCD monitor, and cutting-edge support technologies, but it’s not content to stop there. Proxy recording and time code input synchronization provide ample avenues for integrating the FX30 into countless shooting configurations. At the same time, USB PD support lets you extend recording times with uninterrupted power and connection. Moreover, a dedicated HDMI output lets you record 16-bit RAW footage directly to compatible external recorders at a 4672 x 2628 (16:9) resolution, exceeding DCI-4K. For built-in storage, its two card slots are compatible with both CFexpress Type A and SDXD/SDHC formats. A magnesium alloy chassis is designed with superlative resistance to dust and moisture, making the FX30 a lightweight yet durable camera engineered to stand up to challenging environments. Mounting options include several 1/4-inch threaded points to adapt to most setups, and the One Mount system utilizes Sony’s E-mount platform, allowing for universal interchangeability with any E-mount lens.
