APS-C Super 35 Cinema Workhorse 26MP Exmor R BSI Sensor, Dual Base ISO, 4K120p Capture & 5-Axis In-Body Stabilization
The Sony FX30 is a compact APS-C / Super 35 digital cinema camera body engineered to provide content creators, indie filmmakers, and solo operators with an accessible entry point into Sony’s Cinema Line ecosystem. Built around a 26MP APS-C Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor paired with the high-speed BIONZ XR image processor, the FX30 captures oversampled 10-bit 4:2:2 UHD 4K footage at up to 60 fps (from 6K capture) and high-frame-rate 4K up to 120 fps. Featuring 14+ stops of dynamic range, Dual Base ISO architecture (ISO 800/2500), and S-Cinetone color science inherited from flagship VENICE cameras, it delivers cinematic color fidelity and strong low-light performance.
Designed with an ergonomic, cage-free chassis identical to the FX3, the FX30 features five 1/4″-20 threaded mounting points, an active internal cooling fan for uninterrupted takes, and a dedicated zoom rocker. Advanced video tools include Cine EI log shooting modes, user 3D LUT importing, focus breathing compensation, timecode synchronization support, and a clean 16-bit RAW output via full-size HDMI. Outfitted with a 495-point Fast Hybrid AF matrix, 5-axis in-body image stabilization (with Active Mode and gyro metadata logging), dual CFexpress Type A/SD card slots, and updated firmware v6.0.0 features (such as the BIG6 home screen interface), the FX30 offers professional production workflows in a lightweight 1.2 lb camera body.
