Sony Introduces FX5 Full-Frame Cinema Line Camera

Sony has announced the FX5, a full-frame Cinema Line camera built around a newly developed fully stacked Exmor RS CMOS image sensor and BIONZ XR2 image processing engine with a dedicated AI processing unit. The FX5 supports Open Gate shooting and in-camera X-OCN RAW recording - both firsts for the Cinema Line FX series. Frame rate capabilities include 5K up to 60 fps, 4K up to 120 fps, and FHD up to 240 fps. Dynamic range is 15+ stops in S-Log3 with three base ISO settings and a Dual Gain Shooting mode.

Two optional accessories accompany the launch: a detachable OLED viewfinder and an XLR Handle enabling in-camera recording at up to 96 kHz, 32-bit float.

I felt that FX5 is a camera that combines high quality image expression and mobility in a compact body, enabling people to use it across a wide range of shooting environments, says Claudio Miranda, ASC, Cinematographer (Top Gun: Maverick, F1 The Movie).

Guerrilla filmmaking just went to the next level, the FX5 is the run-and-gun cinema camera to beat, says Gareth Edwards, Director (The Creator, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Jurassic World: Rebirth). Edwards used the FX5 on a project shot across Cambodia, Thailand, and Nepal, available on YouTube.
