Recording frame rates are listed as integer values, but the actual frame rates are as follows:
30p = 29.97 fps, 60p = 59.94 fps, and 120p = 119.88 fps.

The FX2 is a Cinema Line camera designed as a gateway into professional filmmaking. It combines the high image quality of a full-frame sensor with cinematic, expressive, capabilities modelled on Sony’s top-level VENICE cinema cameras, to bring your creative visions to life

Combining some video shoot features from current Cinema Line cameras with enhanced functions for stills that support filmmaking, the FX2 is designed to handle solo shooting in a wide range of circumstances, giving you maximum flexibility.

The FX2 is designed for maximum operability during professional use, supporting a smooth workflow throughout production.

With the same compact flat-top design as the Cinema Line FX3 and FX30, the FX2 is ideal for handheld shooting as well as gimbal and drone mounting. The magnesium alloy exterior has 1/4-20 (UNC) screw holes in three locations for mounting accessories, and two additional screw holes are located on the bottom panel for secure tripod mounting.

Equipped with a powerful AI processing unit, the FX2 is capable of Real-time Recognition AF for humans, animals, birds, vehicles and even insects. A detection frame indicates the recognised subject and tracking can be initiated simply by touching the subject on the monitor screen. Advanced human pose estimation technology accurately recognises subject movement, and human eye recognition has been improved by about 30% compared to the FX3/FX30.

AF Assist allows seamless switching to manual focus for smooth focus transitions, while a range of 7 autofocus transition speed settings and 5 sensitivity settings offer detailed control. Focus Map makes it easier to visualise depth of field by overlaying focus info on the live view display, and the Breathing Compensation function can significantly enhance image stability.

The FX2's Auto Framing feature automatically crops and tracks a subject to keep them in a prominent position when the camera is mounted on a tripod, producing footage that looks like it was shot by an experienced operator. The Framing Stabilizer function automatically keeps the subject in the same position within the frame, which can be useful, for example, when the camera operator is moving alongside the subject.

Active Mode boosts stabilisation while walking and shooting. Or, for shooting at an even faster pace, there’s Dynamic active Mode that utilises electronic stabilisation for as much as 30% greater effect, making it possible to shoot stable footage even when running around. Corresponding stabilisation metadata is embedded in the footage for efficient post production.

Stills at the flip of a switch

A single switch selects MOVIE or STILL mode and instantly recalls all the corresponding settings. In addition to providing 33 MP resolution and continuous bursts at up to 10 fps, the camera is equipped with a [Creating still images from Shot Marks] function that allows you to snap stills while recording or playing video that has a previously imported user LUT.

The Log mode is also available for stills, making it possible to shoot JPEG and HEIF still images with the S-Log3 gamma curve used during a video shoot, so the same workflow can be easily applied during post production. Transform your stills in editing applications such as Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, ready for a variety of uses while maintaining the same look

The FX2 is designed for maximum operability during professional use, supporting a smooth workflow throughout production.

Keep focused on shooting even in bright or distracting environments, thanks to an OLED viewfinder with approximately 3.68 million dots. Magnification is 0.70x (50mm lens, infinity focus, -1m^-1 dioptre), and the angle of view and eyepoint are optimised for video recording. The viewfinder itself can be rotated from 0 ° to +90° for easy viewing at just about any angle, and the eye cup can be removed or reversed left-to-right as necessary.
