DESCRIPTION
33MP Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor
The Sony FX2 Digital Cinema Camera provides vivid 4K video with natural gradations, realistic colour, and low noise in both full-frame and Super 35 modes. This is done by perfectly pairing the 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R sensor with a BIONZ XR processor. For exceptional sharpness and realism, 7K oversampling is done with full pixel readout.
Designed to tackle diverse lighting scenarios, the FX 2 features a dynamic range greater than 15 stops, an ISO expandable up to 204800, and updated dual-base ISO technology for capturing footage in S-log3 at 800 or 4000 ISO.
DCI 4K Video Recording
The FX 2 is designed to provide you with the maximum flexibility, shooting DCI 4K footage internally with 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling or outputs 16-bit raw video via an HDMI connection. Capture video in XAVS S, S-I, and HS recording formats in Long GOP, All-Intra, H.264, and H.265 codecs. Colour and tone reproduction can be tailored with precision using up to 16 user-imported LUTs or S-Cinematone mode for matching your higher-end Sony Cinema Line cameras, such as the VENICE.
The Sony FX2 also features an intuitive Variable FPS setting for creating time-lapses and slow-motion video, it can further de-squeeze 1.3 and 2.0x anamorphic footage, all in-camera.

AI Subject Recording
A powerfull AI processing unit delivers multiple improvements in autofocus, auto framing, and stabilisation using deep learning.
The AI unit analyses colours, patterns, and depth. All this while maintaining sharp focus using real-time subject recognition of people, vehicles, animals and more.
Human and animal eye detection is improved by about 30% from the FX3 and FX30, which makes the FX2 ideal for capturing fast-paced action like wildlife and sports.
Comprehensive Stabilisation
During handheld shooting, the Sony FX2 combines in-body optical stabilisation with AI processing and the E-mount lens metadata. These are only some ways to eliminate camera shake.
