Sony FX5 with XLR handle

New from Sony

The FX5 is the uncompromised cinematic tool you asked for. It features 5K Open Gate, Internal RAW, and 15+ stops of  dynamic range. Built with an optional removable EVF, dedicated Timecode, and 32-bit Float audio to bridge the gap between compact agility and professional set performance.

Main Features

UNCOMPROMISED CINEMATIC FREEDOM

  • The FX5 features 5K Open Gate and internal RAW recording across three codecs. Capture full-sensor anamorphic data for total creative flexibility and professional-grade delivery in any aspect ratio.

ELITE IMAGE FIDELITY IN ANY LIGHT

  • A new 16.6MP sensor and BIONZ XR2 processor provide 15+ stops of dynamic range. Three Base ISO and dual-gain technology ensure clean, high-latitude imagery even in challenging low-light environments.

PRECISION PERFORMANCE AT HIGH SPEED

SEAMLESS MULTI-CAM INTEGRATION

  • Bridging the gap to the FX6, the FX5 offers dedicated Timecode support and 32-Bit Float audio via the handle. Dual USB-C ports ensure rapid data transfer and professional multi-cam synchronization.

RELIABLE POWER AND CONNECTIVITY
