Sony FX2 OverviewCinematic Video Meets Advanced Photo CaptureEquipped with a 33MP full-frame sensor, the AI-powered Sony FX2 combines the comprehensive video capabilities of the Cinema Line with enhanced still image capturing in a compact, travel-friendly form factor. Ideal for on-the-go filmmakers and content creators, the FX2 features an S-Log3 photo mode with optional LUT application, and it sports a 3.68m-dot OLED viewfinder that tilts from 0 to 90°. Its AI processing unit provides active image stabilization and real-time subject recognition, allowing for maximizing the accuracy of autofocus and framing.33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS SensorPairing its 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R sensor with a BIONZ XR processor, the FX2 captures vivid 4K video with natural gradations, realistic color, and low noise in both full-frame and Super 35 modes, providing wide lens compatibility without sacrificing resolution. In full-frame mode, the Sony FX2 records 4K30 video with 7K oversampling and full pixel readout for exceptional sharpness and realism. Maximum frame rate at 4K resolution increases to 60 fps when shooting in Super 35 mode. Designed to tackle diverse lighting scenarios, the FX2 features a dynamic range greater than 15 stops, an ISO expandable up to 204800, and updated dual-base ISO technology for capturing footage in S-log3 at 800 or 4000 ISO.DCI 4K Video RecordingDesigned for flexibility, the Sony FX2 shoots DCI 4K footage internally with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling or outputs 16-bit raw video via an HDMI connection. Capture video in XAVS S, S-I, and HS recording formats in Long GOP, All-Intra, H.264, and H.265 codecs. Color and tone reproduction can be tailored with precision using up to 16 user-imported LUTs or S-Cinematone mode for matching VENICE, FX9, FX6, FX3, and other camera sources. The FX2 features an intuitive Variable FPS setting for creating time-lapses and slow-motion video, and it can de-squeeze 1.3 and 2.0x anamorphic footage, all in-camera.Hybrid Still Image CaptureThe FX2 brings the versatility of a hybrid camera to the Cinema Line, improving still-image capture and adding features such as Log shooting and user-LUT application.Built-in toggle to switch from movie to still modeShoot 33MP JPG or HEIF images in S-Log3 for streamlined color gradingCapture photos from shot marks during internal video recording or playbackApply previously imported user LUTs to captured still imagesFlex or base ISO settings and S-Gamut3 or S-Gamut3.Cine color spacesAI Subject RecognitionThe FX2’s AI processing unit delivers multiple improvements in autofocus, auto framing, and stabilization using deep learning. Analyzing colors, patterns, and depth, the processor maintains sharp focus with real-time subject recognition, identifying people, animals, and vehicles. Human and animal eye recognition is improved by 30% compared to the FX3 and FX30, making the FX2 ideal for fast-paced shooting scenarios, such as capturing wildlife and sporting events. This advanced tracking ability also allows for precise auto framing, adjusting the recorded composition to keep a subject center-frame.Comprehensive StabilizationCombining in-body optical image stabilization with AI processing power and E-mount lens metadata for post-production, the FX2 offers an array of ways to eliminate camera shake during handheld shooting.5-axis in-body optical image stabilizationDynamic Active Mode for stable handheld shootingFraming stabilizer uses advanced AIShake metadata is embedded into footage for post-productionImproved AccessibilityInheriting the BIG6 home screen from high-end CineAlta cameras such as the VENICE, the FX2 allows easy adjustments to FPS, ISO, shutter angle, aperture, look, and white balance when set in Movie Mode.
