Sony FX2 E Mount Overview

Cinematic Video Meets Advanced Photo Capture
The AI-poweredSony FX2combines 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 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 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 time-lapses and slow-motion video, and it can de-squeeze 1.3 and 2.0x anamorphic footage, all in-cameraHybrid Still Image Capture

AI Subject Recognition

The 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 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
