The AI-powered Sony FX2 features a 33MP full-frame sensor, merging the advanced video capabilities of Sony’s Cinema Line with enhanced still image performance — all in a compact, travel-friendly design. Perfect for content creators and filmmakers on the move, the FX2 includes an S-Log3 photo mode with optional LUT preview and a 3.68m-dot OLED viewfinder that tilts from 0° to 90° for flexible framing. Its integrated AI processing unit enables active image stabilization and real-time subject recognition, significantly boosting autofocus precision and composition accuracy.
33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor
Pairing 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 FX2 offers 7K oversampling with full pixel readout for exceptional sharpness and realism. 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 Recording
Designed for flexibility, the 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 timelapses and slow-motion video, and can de-squeeze 1.3 and 2.0x anamorphic footage, all in-camera.
Hybrid Still-Image Capture
The 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 mode
- Shoot 33MP JPG or HEIF images in S-Log3 for streamlined color grading
- Capture photos from shot marks during interal video recording or playback
- Apply previously imported user LUTs to captured still images
- Flex or base ISO settings and S-Gamut3 or S-Gamut3.Cine color spaces
AI Subject Recognition
The FX2's AI processing unit delivers multiple improvements in auto focus, 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 Stabilization
Combining 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 stabilization
- Dynamic Active Mode for stable handheld shooting
- Framing stabilizer uses advanced AI
- Shake metadata is embedded into footage for post production
Improved Accessibility
Inheriting 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. The 3" fold-out touchscreen LCD provides intuitive menu navigation, and sports a tiltable design and 1.03m-Dot resolution. Unique to the FX2 is a built-in 3.68m-Dot OLED electronic viewfinder with a 0.7x maximum magnification. Tilting from 0 to 90°, the EVF has a reversible, rubber eye cup and 33mm eye point, allowing pinpoint framing in extreme lighting conditions.
Connectivity & Compatibility
The FX2 features expansive connectivity, with multiple options for power input, internal video recording, data output, and both wireless and USB streaming.
- USB-C port for PD fast charging or LAN link using a gigabit ethernet adaptor
- Stream at 2.4/5 GHz over Wi-Fi, or 5 GB/s via USB-C connection
- One CFexpress Type A/SDXC card slot, one SD card slot, and one HDMI output
