Sony FX30

Sony FX30 is a compact Cinema Line camera built around a Super 35 / APS-C back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor. It brings Sony’s cinema-oriented color science, professional video controls and 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording into a lightweight body designed for gimbals, handheld rigs, documentary work, music videos, branded content and smaller production crews. Its combination of 6K oversampling, S-Log3, S-Cinetone and fast autofocus makes it a flexible entry point into the Sony Cinema Line ecosystem.

Super 35 sensor with 6K oversampling

The FX30 uses a 23.3 × 15.5 mm APS-C / Super 35 Exmor R CMOS sensor with approximately 20.1 MP effective resolution for video. In standard 4K recording up to 60p, the camera oversamples from a higher-resolution 6K image, helping deliver detailed footage with reduced aliasing and moiré. The Super 35 format also works naturally with a broad range of compact cinema and APS-C lenses.

Dual Base ISO and 14+ stops in S-Log3

For log workflows, FX30 provides Dual Base ISO settings of 800 and 2500, allowing the operator to optimize image quality for brighter and darker environments. Sony specifies more than 14 stops of dynamic range in S-Log3, while S-Cinetone offers a ready-to-use cinematic look with natural skin tones when a faster turnaround is required.

4K120, 10-bit 4:2:2 and external RAW output

The camera records UHD 4K up to 120 fps in XAVC S and XAVC HS, giving useful slow-motion options for action, music videos and commercial work. Internal recording supports 10-bit 4:2:2 in compatible modes, while 16-bit RAW can be output over HDMI at up to 4672 × 2628 to a compatible external recorder. DCI 4K is also available in XAVC S-I at selected frame rates.

Fast Hybrid AF and 5-axis stabilization

Fast Hybrid AF combines phase-detection and contrast-detection autofocus with Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking. The camera also includes 5-axis in-body image stabilization, with Active Mode available for additional stabilization during handheld shooting. These features make FX30 well suited to solo operation and compact moving-camera setups.
