The FX2 can record uninterrupted video for extended periods, particularly in formats up to 4K 59.94p, thanks to its effective heat management system.
Does the FX2 have any built-in stabilisation features?
Yes, the FX2 features advanced image stabilisation to help reduce camera shake, enhancing the overall quality of your footage.
Can I use the FX2 for still photography as well?
Absolutely, the FX2 has enhanced still image functions, allowing you to capture high-quality photos with the flip of a switch.
As a gateway into a professional filmmaking career, the Sony FX2 Cinema Camera w/ XLR Handle Unit is a full-frame camera in the Cinema Line that inherits the visual philosophy of Sony’s top-level VENICE series. With high mobility, operability, expandability and reliability, it’s ideal for solo shooting and features enhanced still image functions designed to support filmmaking.
Key Features of the Sony FX2 Cinema Camera w/ XLR Handle Unit
- Tiltable EVF with 3.68 million dot (approx.) resolution.
- Big6 (Home) screen for frequently used parameters.
- Cage-less mounting with 3x 1/4-20 UNC Mounting Points on the body.
- AI-based Real-time Recognition AF.
- Easy view Tally lamps on Top, Front & LCD.
- Stills at the flip of a switch.
For that professional cinematic look
The FX2 is a Cinema Line camera designed as a gateway into professional filmmaking. It combines the high image quality of a full-frame sensor with expressive capabilities modelled on Sony’s top-level VENICE cinema cameras, to bring your creative visions to life.
Tiltable high-definition electronic viewfinder
Keep focused on shooting even in bright or distracting environments, thanks to an OLED viewfinder with approximately 3.68 million dots. Magnification is 0.70x, and the angle of view and eyepoint are optimised for video recording. The viewfinder itself can be tilted from 0 ° to +90° for easy viewing at just about any angle, and the eye cup can be removed or reversed left-to-right as necessary
Frequently used parameters all in one place
The FX2 inherits the BIG6 (Home) screen from high-end CineAlta cameras such as VENICE, which allows you to easily monitor six essential parameters in MOVIE mode: FPS (frame rate), ISO, Shutter (speed/angle), Aperture or ND Filter, Look, and White Balance.
Effective heat management
Enjoy uninterrupted video recording time for formats up to 4K 59.94p*25. Heat buildup is prevented through a combination of an internal cooling fan, a highly thermal conductive graphite material used in the image stabilisation unit, and an innovative design that allows ample air intake even when the LCD monitor is closed. The cooling fan has three modes that can be selected according to shooting conditions: Auto, Minimum, and Off while Recording.
4:2:2 10-bit or 16-bit RAW output via HDMI
HDMI Type-A terminal enables 4K 60p (59.94p) 4:2:2 10-bit or 16-bit RAW video output to an external recorder for flexible post production. Video output via HDMI can occur simultaneously with proxy recording to an internal memory card.
Durable magnesium alloy chassis
High body durability has been achieved through the use of a lightweight, high-rigidity magnesium alloy for the top cover, front cover, internal frame, and rear cover. Accessory attachment screw holes and rings are machined from a hard stainless steel for maximum wear-resistance and reliability. The lens mount is attached by six screws for extra strength and rigidity that can handle heavy super-telephoto lenses.
Digital audio without degradation
With an XLR Handle Unit XLR-H1 attached, the FX2 can record high-quality audio via two XLR connectors and a digital audio interface without the need for extra batteries or cables. Microphones equipped with XLR connectors are available separately. Four-channel audio, 24-bit recording, and other settings can be easily applied.
