Description

The FX6 Full-Frame Camera from Sony was developed to offer versatile, cine-style imaging in a truly compact form. With the ability to capture up to 15+ stops of dynamic range, Sony\'s S-Cinetone gamma for filmlike skin tones, and up to 10-bit, 4:2:2 XAVC-I recording, the FX6 is poised to both supplement your FX9 or VENICE capture and to nimbly take on documentary, gimbal, and drone shoots on its own. The FX6 camera combines a 4K full-frame Exmor R sensor with a BIONX XR engine for extremely sensitive capture in a range of settings using a base ISO of 800 as well as an ISO 12800 high-sensitivity mode for nuanced low-light scenes.\r\n\r\nWeighing just under 2 lb, the FX6 body is a full 2 lb lighter than the FX9 and measuring 6 x 4.6\", it packs a full-frame sensor into a body comparable to the S35-sensor Sony FS5. While the FX6 fits seamlessly into a pro-cine on-set workflow, it also offers several features that are a boon for a single-operator user. These include fast and accurate phase-detection autofocus with both Face Detection and real-time Eye autofocus, both auto and manual ND filter settings for quick exposure compensation, and a 3.5\" LCD monitor that boasts timesaving touchscreen access to key menu settings and versatile positioning for comfortable operating. In addition to improving the camera\'s overall stability, firmware update v1.10 adds 100p and 120p options to the Slow and Quick Motion frame rate menu when the codec is set to RAW or RAW and XAVC-I.\r\n\r\nVersatile Addition to Sony Cinema Line\r\nAs part of Sony\'s Cinema Line, the FX6 shares key imaging features with established cameras like the VENICE and FX9. Common core attributes include a full-frame sensor, filmlike color science, a compact, lightweight form, professional connector interfaces, and advanced autofocus choices.\r\n\r\nCompared to the FX9, the FX6 differs in several specs; but many FX6 specs tick the same boxes and several improve upon the FX9:\r\nIt matches the FX9\'s video capture up to DCI 4K60\r\nHas the same S-Cinetone, S-Log3, and HLG gamma choices \r\nOutputs 16-bit raw like the FX9\r\nSony E lens mount\r\nOffers the same 1/4 to 1/128 ND options\r\nAlso provides 2-channel XLR audio inputs\r\nFX6 differences from the FX9:\r\n\r\n4K capture vs 6K\r\nHas a single 12G/6G/3G-SDI BNC port, trimming the FX9\'s additional 3G-SDI port\r\nIncorporates a timecode port but lacks the FX9\'s genlock connector\r\nImproved FX6 specs include:\r\n\r\nAn ISO range of 320 to 409,600 vs the FX9\'s 320 to 102,400 range \r\nTop frame rates of 120p in 4K and up to 240p in HD vs the FX9\'s top 1080p in HD \r\nDual card slots compatible with both durable, highly efficient CFexpress Type A or widely available SDXC cards, compared to the FX9\'s reliance on proprietary XQD cards and a single SD card option\r\nFirmware Update v1.10\r\nAdds 100p and 120p options to the Slow and Quick Motion frame rate menu when the codec is set to RAW or RAW and XAVC-I\r\nImproves the overall stability of the FX6 camera\r\n4K Full-Frame CMOS Exmor R Sensor\r\nThe FX6\'s 10.2 MP image sensor features back-side illumination for excellent low-light performance, 627 focal plane points for speedy phase-detection autofocus, and full-frame lens compatibility that produces a rich, immersive look. The sensor\'s fast scan speed minimizes rolling shutter artifacts and supports high frame rates and quick autofocus responses.\r\n15+ Stops of Dynamic Range\r\nThe Exmor R sensor also enables the FX6 to capture a whopping 15+ stops of dynamic range in Cine EI mode with S-Log3, creating nuanced, high-resolution images.\r\nWide ISO Range\r\nChoose from a base ISO of 800, a high-sensitivity 12,800 ISO for lower-light capture, and a 409,600 maximum ISO for true low-light settings.\r\nElectronically Variable ND Filters\r\nSet the FX6\'s integrated neutral density (ND) filter system to auto for correctly exposed shots even in changing light conditions, or smoothly adjust the ND filter density manually in increments from 1/4 to 1/128 as you shoot; both options will produce properly exposed images without affecting your chosen depth of field.\r\nAdvanced XAVC Codec Options\r\nThe FX6 is the first compact, full-frame camera to offer UHD 4K 4:2:2 capture in the high-quality yet efficient XAVC-I codec. It also enables you to choose from a range of professional XAVC Intra and XAVC Long codecs at bit rates ranging from 35 to 600 Mb/s.\r\nHigh Frame Rate Selections\r\nFor slow-motion and fast action looks, choose from full-frame rates ranging from:\r\n1-60 fps in HD to DCI 4K resolutions\r\n100 or 120 fps in HD through UHD 4K \r\n150, 180, 200, or 240 fps in Full HD \r\nSuper35 choices include:\r\n\r\n1-60, 100, and 120 fps in Full HD\r\nExpressive Cinematic Look\r\nSony\'s S-Cinetone gamma curve offers a cinematic look with filmlike color, softer tones, and pleasing skin tone reproduction. Not only is this cinematic look available for in-camera viewing, but it can also be captured and output with minimal or no grading at all for a time-saving post process. The S-Cinetone, S-Log3, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine choices also streamline the process of matching FX6 footage with your VENICE or FX9 video and offer broad color-grading options.\r\nFast Hybrid/Phase Detection Autofocus\r\nCompatible with 50+ native Sony E-mount lenses, the FX6\'s improved autofocus choices include Face Detection and Eye Autofocus modes for rapid focusing with extremely sharp accuracy, even in lower-light settings. The phase detection autofocus accomplishes this accuracy using seven transition-speed steps and five subject-sensitivity.\r\nImage Stabilization and More with Catalyst and Metadata\r\nPair the FX6 with Sony\'s Catalyst Prepare/Browse software to use metadata to stabilize your image, automatically rotate gimbal footage, and add flags for easier clip filtering in post-production.\r\nTouchscreen 3.5\" LCD Control\r\nThe FX6\'s 3.5\" LCD monitor offers both high-resolution viewing and the ease
