Memorable imagery from the Exmor R CMOS sensor

The FX30’s back-illuminated Exmor R APS-C CMOS sensor is ready to deliver memorable imagery with outstanding resolution and a shallow depth of field. Sony’s industry-leading image technology is packed into a new Super 35 format (20.1 megapixel10) sensor with wide latitude. Capture the scene in 4K resolution with expressive depth of field, stunning bokeh and cinematic freedom.

S-Cinetone for a cinematic look without grading

The FX30 incorporates S-Cinetone, based on the colour science behind the highly regarded colour and skin tones of the FX9 and FX6. It delivers the natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin, plus soft colours and gorgeous highlights. Because S-Cinetone produces all this directly within the camera, it’s easy to achieve a beautiful cinematic look without the necessity of post-production grading.

Recording formats for image quality and post-production

The FX30 can record 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally when using Long GOP or All-Intra compression, enabling fuller and more natural gradations and providing greater editing freedom. Recording in XAVC HS format roughly doubles compression efficiency, allowing detailed 10-bit video with 4:2:2 colour sampling at comparable or lower data rates, for even better image quality and manageable file sizes.

Dual Base ISO for cleaner images in low light

The Dual Base ISO feature provides two Base ISO settings; one at ISO 800 and one at ISO 2500. This allows you to select an appropriate noise floor, for clean images, as well as maximize the FX30’s dynamic range when shooting in both bright or low-light conditions. What’s more, a wide 14+ stops13 of latitude minimizes the risk of blown highlights or blocked shadows over a wide range of lighting conditions.

Log recording for smooth cinematic colour grading

For full-scale productions, the S-Log3 gamma curve provided in the FX30 has been designed for smooth gradations, and to make it easier to achieve cinematic image quality when colour grading in post-production. Both S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine offer high-quality colour reproduction over a wide latitude, and special care has been taken to adjust the camera’s output to ensure that the highest image quality can be easily achieved during post processing.

New Log shooting modes for optimized image quality

Three modes are provided for recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve. Cine EI14, used in Sony’s high-end Cinema Line models, offers wide latitude and the highest possible image quality. Cine EI Quick14 simplifies setup by automatically switching the camera’s Base ISO according to the selected Exposure Index (EI). And Flexible ISO provides the greatest flexibility for exposure settings. In addition, Sony’s s709 has been added to the available LUT presets.

See an accurate preview of the final image with user LUTs

When recording with the S-Log3 gamma curve, the low-contrast image on the monitor can make it difficult to judge what the final image will look like. For a more accurate preview, the FX30 allows customizable LUTs to be applied to the LCD monitor preview and HDMI output, and also embedded in clips to facilitate post-production processing15. In addition to the preset LUTs, up to 16 user LUTs can be imported into the camera via memory card16.

Dependable, highly accurate autofocus

Sophisticated tracking features keep your subject in steady focus so you can concentrate on composition. Wide-area AF, with intelligent tracking, uses focal-plane phase-detection for tenacious subject tracking across almost the entire frame. Real-time Eye AF ensures precise focus on the face and eyes (for humans, birds and animals17), while Real-time Tracking provides reliable tracking based on Sony’s unique, AI-based subject recognition.

Sophisticated focus functions to handle any situation

The FX30 makes fast, accurate focusing as easy as possible. AF Assist18 smoothly switches between auto and manual focus, it enables easy rack focusing, and it can save time even when you are primarily using manual focus. Focus Map19 makes it easy to visualize depth of field while shooting, and Breathing Compensation20 provides a stable angle of view when rack focusing by minimizing the field-of-view shift that can occur with some lenses.

Multi-thread body makes a cage unnecessary

Designed for mobility and efficiency, the body of the FX30 features five thread holes (1/4-20 UNC) for accessories, making a cage unnecessary. While providing ample capacity for accessory attachment, the fact that no cage is required contributes to reduced system size and weight for easier handheld shooting. The XLR handle unit26 provides three additional thread holes so that accessories and add-ons can be stably and securely attached.

Tally lamps

Recording (tally) lamps are provided on the upper front and rear of the camera. The REC button on the top of the camera is also illuminated and linked to the rear recording lamp. To make it clear when the camera is in record mode, a red frame appears on the monitor display so that the operator can easily confirm that recording is in progress.

Flexible, high-resolution touch-panel LCD monitor

The FX30 features a side-opening vari-angle rear monitor that allows broad positioning and framing freedom for gimbal-mounted shots, handheld shots, very low ground-level shots, or whatever the shoot requires. The large 3.0 type 2.36 million-dot28 touch-panel LCD monitor provides clear viewing in bright outdoor settings. The function (Fn) menu can be displayed by swiping up on the monitor, for quick access to frequently used assigned functions.

XLR connectors for high-quality external audio input

The XLR handle unit26 provides two XLR audio inputs to facilitate high-quality audio recording. With an optional XLR microphone, digital audio data can be transferred directly to the camera for outstanding audio quality without noise or signal degradation. There is also a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack for 4-channel recording, for compatibility with 2-channel and 4-channel audio formats.

Sturdy magnesium alloy body

The camera’s body and covers are constructed from a lightweight magnesium alloy to enhance durability and performance even in challenging environments.

Designed to resist dust and moisture35

Dust- and moisture-resistance refinements have been implemented everywhere in the FX30. Sealing is provided throughout the body as well as on the battery compartment cover, and the media slot has a double sliding cover and lock lever to keep water out. Cooling airflow, from inlet to exhaust, is completely isolated from the interior. All routes for dust and moisture entry have been examined to ensure reliable operation in challenging environments.

Proxy recording for efficient editing workflow

Low-bitrate HD proxy files can be recorded simultaneously in nearly all recording formats. The smaller proxy video files can be used for editing previews prior to final 4K online editing, reducing computer load and enabling a faster workflow25.

Product description

The FX30 captures beautiful cinematic imagery with 6K oversampling, high performance and highly efficient workflow. Enjoy hassle-free shooting with S-Cinetone™ and S-Log3 for high level grading. Its compact size lets you take it anywhere, and sophisticated AF and stabilization makes advanced filmmaking more accessible than ever for up-and-coming creators.

This has to be the best cinema camera for the price right now. The value from this thing is next level. Superior video quality and the internal fan will keep it cool for long shoots. I've had this camera recording for hours on end with zero issues or heat warnings. Keep it up Sony!

The sony fx30 is amazing for those just getting into video. The image quality is a beast, has almost all the features of the a7III in a crop sensor for half the price. Its nice to see cameras targeting video over photography thats meant for normal users and not those in the production/television feild. Only con is the set up is not user friendly and its photography aspects are lacking. Definitely not a hybrid camera

Sufrí un poco al pasarme de Canon a Sony, pero me acostubre en poco tiempo. Todas las funciones y configuraciones que tiene la cámara te hacen mas fácil el trabajo. El autofocus excelente, en condiciones de poca luz se comporta muy bien ademas del rango dinámico que ofrece cuando trabajas en Slog 3.
Estoy encantado con la compra.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un equipo muy capaz
Reviewed in Mexico on December 15, 2023
Style: BODY ONLYColour Name: BLACKVerified Purchase
Pensé mucho en adquirir esta cámara, y fue una decisión correcta, es un equipo de operación sencilla pero con capacidades suficientes para mis necesidades, buenos tonos de piel, buena ciencia de color, suficientes opciones de formatos, en fin muchas cosas que podría uno esperar en equipos solamente de mayor precio lo da la fx30, le he dado mucho uso desde el primer día y no me ha decepcionado.
Lo único que no me ha encantado es el focus peaking que no es tan preciso, pero con un monitor de campo es suficiente. La recomiendo hasta ahora, creo que el precio es inigualable.

The media could not be loaded.
 Coming from a FF cannon I didn’t have high expectations but after 3 shoots I can say this thing is a beast. The built quality feels great! The autofocus is bananas! Never really used AF on a camera before. The final footage is soft but I like how you can have total control in post. The low light issue isn’t really an issue. Learn how to light your subjects. The options on the camera are easy and the menu is straight forward. This camera does not over heat! I shot in the rain and it held up but don’t push it. When I have my rig on it the appearance is professional. I would recommend this camera to the hardcore video person that don’t care about photos and don’t want to spend double for a fx3. You’ll be happy with it.
