Sony FX5 Cinema Line Camera
Body Only
Hollywood-Grade 5K Cinema Quality in a Compact BodyElevate your storytelling with the Sony FX5, this compact full-frame cinema camera brings VENICE-level image quality and 5K Open Gate flexibility to a body you can carry anywhere. Built around a newly developed 16.6MP stacked Exmor RS sensor and the BIONZ XR2 processor with AI acceleration, the FX5 delivers 15+ stops of dynamic range, triple base ISOs (800/4000/12800), and internal 16-bit X-OCN RAW recording for maximum grading latitude. Capture cinematic slow motion at up to 5K 60p and 4K 120p while Fast Hybrid AF with AI Subject Recognition keeps humans, animals, and birds locked in focus, even in low light. With 5-axis sensor-shift stabilisation, anamorphic support and professional monitoring tools on a four-axis multi-angle LCD, the FX5 is engineered for creators who demand Hollywood-grade performance without the Hollywood-sized rig.
Lighting the Way Forward
Lighting a creative path, the FX5 empowers filmmakers to step confidently into the next stage of their professional journey. Bringing an advanced cinema look and refined operability together in a compact body, it gives creators the freedom to realise their vision with greater precision, control, and expressive potential.
Cinema-class Image Quality
5K Full-frame Fully-stacked Exmor RS CMOS SensorThe full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor enables fast readout for high-resolution, high-frame-rate recording. Wide latitude and low noise ensure smooth gradation and natural textures, even in high-contrast scenes.
BIONZ XR2 with Integrated AI processingThe BIONZ XR2 engine delivers dramatic improvements in image, sound, communication, operation, and more. Built-in AI processing enables enhanced subject recognition and deep learning-based Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW), helping you shoot with confidence.
Open Gate and Other Image Scan ModesThe FX5 offers full-frame Open Gate recording — a first in the Cinema Line FX series. With 5K up to 60 fps (FF 3:2), 4K up to 120 fps (FF crop) and more, it gives you the freedom to adjust framing, speed and workflow to realise even the most ambitious vision.
Internal X-OCN Compressed RAW Video RecordingCapture 16-bit scene-linear X-OCN internally eliminating the need for an external RAW data recorder. With LT, C1 and C2 codecs, you can balance image quality, file size and RAW workflow flexibility to suit the production.
Three Base ISO SettingsThree Base ISO settings - a standard ISO 800, a mid-sensitivity ISO 4000, and a high-sensitivity ISO 12800 for low light - are available to match your shooting environment. Capture clean shadows and wide latitude across varied lighting conditions, for consistently stunning clarity.
15+ Stops of LatitudeWide latitude helps capture highlight and shadow detail with smooth, natural gradation. Low shadow noise preserves clarity, texture and atmosphere, letting you push your creative grading choices further.
Dual Gain ShootingDual Gain Shooting maximises latitude while reducing noise to enhance shadow details. Making full use of the sensor’s capability, it delivers smooth, natural gradients for greater editing flexibility.
High-Frame-Rate CaptureThe FX5 records up to 5K at 60 fps and 4K at 120 fps, giving creators the power to capture fast-paced action with impressive detail and clarity. 5K 120p and 4K 240p coming in firmware V2.0, planned to be available in August 2027 or later.
Precise, Reliable AF and TrackingWith built-in AI processing, the BIONZ XR2 engine accurately recognises human, animal, and bird eyes (Real-time Eye AF). Fast Hybrid AF uses up to 759 points to ensure accurate focus and tracking that keeps up with quick-moving subjects, even in dark scenes and when shooting with a shallow depth of field.
Built-in De-squeezeBuilt-in de-squeeze support makes anamorphic shooting easier on set. With 1.3x, 1.5x, 1.6x, 1.8x and 2.0x settings, the FX5 works smoothly with a wide range of anamorphic lenses.
Deep Learning-based Illumination EstimationDeep-learning-based illumination estimation achieves unprecedented Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW) accuracy, even in challenging scenes. It delivers accurate colour reproduction even under lighting conditions that previously tended to cause colour cast.
S-CinetoneS-Cinetone brings Sony cinema colour science to the FX5, delivering natural skin tones, smooth gradation and a polished look straight out of camera.
Wide-Gamut ColourWith colour gamuts exceeding both BT.2020 and DCI-P3, S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine retain broad colour information for more precise grading and easier colour matching with VENICE 2 in multi-camera shoots.
Three S-Log3 modesFrom cinematic shoots to run-and-gun, choose Cine EI, Cine EI Quick or Flexible ISO to capture imagery with maximum latitude. You can also import up to 16 user LUTs allowing you to easily monitor the intended look in real-time.
Built for Professional Sets
5-Axis StabilisationA precision stabilisation unit and gyro sensors combine to provide optical 5-axis in-body stabilisation. An enhanced stabilisation unit expands the roll-direction compensation range by up to 2x, effectively reducing handheld roll shake. The result is a camera that’s ideal for handheld shooting. Dynamic active Mode adds extra electronic support, and stabilisation data can also be used in post-production.
Lightweight, Compact DesignThe compact flattop body and stable grip are built for comfortable handheld work. Paired with Sony's compact lenses, the FX5 becomes a mobile system for flexible shooting with gimbals, in tight spaces and more.
High-Quality 96 kHz / 32bit Float Audio RecordingThe XLR handle unit supports two XLR/TRS inputs, a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack and up to 96 kHz / 32bit float audio. With up to 4 channels of top-quality audio recording, it helps you capture cleaner sound without slowing down the shoot.
BIG6 (HOME) Screen For Faster On-Set ControlInherited directly from Sony’s high-end CineAlta cameras, the BIG6 (HOME) screen displays six essential settings together: frame rate, EI/ISO/Gain, shutter, iris, LUT and white balance. Touch operation, the multi-function dial, and Fixed/Variable frame-rate control help you work quickly and efficiently.
Optional OLED viewfinder DVF-EL1Add the optional OLED viewfinder for enhanced monitoring in bright locations. It features a 0.58-type OLED panel with approx. 7.07 million dots, DCI-P3 equivalent colour gamut, and 10-bit display for superb colour and detail.
Monitoring Support For Precise ShootingExposure and focus tools, including Waveform Monitor, Histogram, False Colour, and Focus Map, support faster judgments on set. They help you manage highlights, shadows, skin tones and critical focus with confidence.
Clear Image Zoom For Smoother, More Intuitive FramingClear Image Zoom adds a [Smooth Priority] mode that enables seamless zoom from the optical wide end up to 2x digital zoom. [Optical Zoom Priority] is a zoom mode that prioritises image quality. After the optical zoom reaches its telephoto end, Clear Image Zoom takes over.
Dual CFexpress Type A/SD Card SlotsDual CFexpress Type A slots support relay, simultaneous, and separated recording, and they also accept SDXC (UHS-II/UHS-I) cards. Main and proxy files can be recorded to different slots.
Power That Keeps Pace With Long ShootsA high-capacity 2670 mAh NP-SA100 battery can provide up to 170 minutes of recording time. Optimised power management, faster charging, USB Power Delivery (PD) and battery condition display make day-to-day operation easier.
Uninterrupted 5K/60p recordingAn efficient fan cooling system and advanced design help keep the camera cool, even when the LCD monitor is closed. Three fan modes — [Auto], [Minimum], and [OFF in REC] — let you balance cooling and noise to suit your shooting needs.
