Sony FX5 Cinema Camera

Lighting the Way Forward

The Sony FX5 body only delivers the same advanced imaging engine in a streamlined package that’s easy to rig, cage, or build into custom systems. With a 5K full-frame fully-stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, BIONZ XR2 processing, internal X‑OCN, and a compact flat‑top design, it gives filmmakers the freedom to craft modular setups without paying for audio hardware they don’t need.

• 5K full-frame fully-stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor enabling high-resolution, high-frame‑rate capture with fast readout, wide dynamic range, and low noise for natural textures in challenging light.
• BIONZ XR2 engine with AI processing for improved responsiveness, subject recognition, and Auto Tracing White Balance, helping maintain consistent focus and color across changing scenes.
• Full-frame Open Gate recording up to 5K 60 fps (FF 3:2) and 4K 120 fps (FF crop), giving you framing flexibility for anamorphic, vertical, and VFX‑heavy projects.
• Internal 16‑bit X‑OCN compressed RAW recording (LT, C1, C2) to keep RAW workflows inside the camera and tune image quality versus file size to each production.
• Triple Base ISO: 800 / 4000 / 12800 for clean shadows and wide latitude in everything from controlled studio work to low‑light documentary shooting.
• 15+ stops of latitude with Dual Gain Shooting to maximize dynamic range while controlling noise, delivering smooth, gradable images with preserved highlight and shadow detail.
• High-frame‑rate options up to 5K 60p and 4K 120p to create fluid slow‑motion sequences with impressive clarity.
• Fast Hybrid AF and Real‑time Eye AF using dense phase‑detection coverage to track humans, animals, and birds accurately, even with shallow depth of field or low‑light conditions.
• Anamorphic de‑squeeze support for 1.3x, 1.5x, 1.6x, 1.8x, and 2.0x lenses, simplifying monitoring when shooting anamorphic.
• S‑Cinetone, S‑Gamut3 and S‑Gamut3.Cine to deliver pleasing Sony cinema color out of camera and wide-gamut data for precise grading and easy matching to VENICE 2.
• Cine EI, Cine EI Quick and Flexible ISO S‑Log3 modes plus up to 16 user LUTs for monitoring intended looks while keeping maximum latitude in the recorded files.
• 5‑axis optical in‑body stabilization with enhanced roll compensation, Dynamic Active Mode, and embedded gyro metadata for refined stabilization in post.
• Lightweight, compact flat‑top body that pairs well with Sony’s smaller cinema and G‑Master lenses for agile handheld, gimbal, or vehicle-rig work.
• Movie‑first controls and BIG6 “HOME” screen for fast access to frame rate, ISO, shutter, iris, LUT, and white balance, plus a CineAlta‑style multi‑function dial for quick on‑set adjustments.
• Durable, sealed construction and efficient cooling designed to resist dust and moisture and support extended takes, with a fan system that maintains airflow even with the LCD closed.

Choose the FX5 body only if you prefer to handle audio with external mixers, recorders, or alternative handles while still benefiting from the camera’s advanced sensor, color science, and modular cinema‑ready design.
