Sony FX2 33MP Digital Cinema Camera - Body Only SOILMEFX2B

The Sony FX2 Digital Cinema Camera Body features a powerful 33MP full-frame sensor with AI technology, merging Cinema Line video excellence with advanced still image capabilities in a compact design. Professional filmmakers and content creators will appreciate the technical versatility offered by the S-Log3 photo mode with LUT application options. The precision-engineered 3.68m-dot OLED viewfinder provides 0-90° tilt functionality, while the sophisticated AI processing unit delivers superior image stabilization and real-time subject recognition, significantly enhancing autofocus precision and compositional accuracy during professional production scenarios.

33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor

The Sony FX2 Digital Cinema Camera Body integrates a sophisticated 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R sensor with BIONZ XR processing technology, delivering exceptional 4K footage characterized by nuanced gradations, accurate color reproduction, and minimal noise artifacts across both full-frame and Super 35 formats ensuring extensive lens compatibility without resolution compromise. The full-frame configuration leverages 7K oversampling with complete pixel readout, yielding remarkable detail retention and visual authenticity. Engineered for professional cinematography in challenging illumination conditions, the system boasts over 15 stops of dynamic range, extended ISO capabilities reaching 204800, and refined dual-base ISO implementation that optimizes S-log3 recording at either 800 or 4000 ISO sensitivity values.

DCI 4K Video Recording

The Sony FX2 Digital Cinema Camera Body delivers exceptional production versatility, offering internal DCI 4K recording with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling alongside 16-bit raw video output via HDMI. Cinematographers benefit from comprehensive codec support including XAVS S, S-I, and HS formats with Long GOP, All-Intra, H.264, and H.265 encoding options. Advanced color management allows precise tonal control through 16 custom-imported LUTs or S-Cinematone profiles for seamless integration with VENICE, FX9, FX6, FX3, and other professional cinema systems. The sophisticated Variable FPS functionality facilitates in-camera time-lapse and slow-motion creation, while built-in de-squeeze processing for 1.3x and 2.0x anamorphic footage eliminates post-production complexity.

Hybrid Still Image Capture

The FX2 brings the versatility of a hybrid camera to the Cinema Line, improving still-image capture and adding features such as Log shooting and user-LUT application.

• Built-in toggle to switch from movie to still mode
• Shoot 33MP JPG or HEIF images in S-Log3 for streamlined color grading
• Capture photos from shot marks during internal video recording or playback
• Apply previously imported user LUTs to captured still images
• Flex or base ISO settings and S-Gamut3 or S-Gamut3.Cine color spaces

AI Subject Recognition

The FX2's AI processing unit delivers multiple improvements in autofocus, auto framing, and stabilization using deep learning. Analyzing colors, patterns, and depth, the processor maintains sharp focus with real-time subject recognition, identifying people, animals, and vehicles. Human and animal eye recognition is improved by 30% compared to the FX3 and FX30, making the FX2 ideal for fast-paced shooting scenarios, such as capturing wildlife and sporting events. This advanced tracking ability also allows for precise auto framing, adjusting the recorded composition to keep a subject center-frame.

Comprehensive Stabilization

Combining in-body optical image stabilization with AI processing power and E-mount lens metadata for post-production, the FX2 offers an array of ways to eliminate camera shake during handheld shooting.

• 5-axis in-body optical image stabilization
• Dynamic Active Mode for stable handheld shooting
• Framing stabilizer uses advanced AI
• Shake metadata is embedded into footage for post-production

Improved Accessibility

Inheriting the BIG6 home screen from high-end CineAlta cameras such as the VENICE, the FX2 allows easy adjustments to FPS, ISO, shutter angle, aperture, look, and white balance when set in Movie Mode. The 3" fold-out touchscreen LCD provides intuitive menu navigation and sports a tiltable design and 1.03m-dot resolution. Unique to the FX2 is a built-in 3.68m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with a 0.7x maximum magnification. Tilting from 0 to 90°, the EVF has a reversible rubber eyecup and 33mm eye point, allowing pinpoint framing in extreme lighting conditions.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The FX2 features expansive connectivity, with multiple options for power input, internal video recording, data output, and both wireless and USB streaming.

• USB-C port for PD fast charging or LAN link using a gigabit Ethernet adapter
• Stream at 2.4/5 GHz over Wi-Fi, or 5 GB/s via USB-C connection
• One CFexpress Type A/SDXC card slot, one SD card slot, and one HDMI port
