Sony FX5 Cinema Line Camera (Body Only)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recycled Materials In CamerasAt Sony, their Road to Zero plan aims to achieve a zero environmental footprint by 2050. They use SORPLAS™, their durable, high-quality recycled plastic material, wherever possible to reduce stress on the environment without compromising performance. More than 30% of this product is made of recycled plastic, including SORPLAS. Thier imaging product manufacturing facilities in Thailand and China also operate on 100% renewable energy.

Non-plastic Packaging MaterialsSony is working towards the use of non-plastic packaging materials that provide ample protection against shock and impact. We use plant-based non-woven fabrics for product bags, further reducing plastic usage and minimising environmental stress.
