Sony Cinema Line FX3A with FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Lens
Sony Cinema Line FX3A with FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Lens
With a compact design for solo shooters, travel applications, or as an ideal B camera, the Sony FX3A borrows from both the Cinema Line and Alpha series of cameras to create an optimised portable cinema camera. The FX3A features all the imaging attributes you'd expect from this class but sports a new lightweight, handheld form with a streamlined profile and a "cage-free" design, offering the ability to secure various accessories directly to the camera body.
Firmware Update v2.00
Firmware update v2.00 provides multiple features, including the BIG6 home screen, where you can easily review shooting settings and equipment configurations, 1.5x and 1.6x magnifications in the De-Squeeze Display, support for the Focus Magnifier and Auto Magnifier in MF settings while using the Bright Monitoring feature, and raw video output via HDMI that enables external recording of Blackmagic Raw. This update also enables the camera to automatically recognise a separate USB-LAN conversion adapter, filter camera images for smartphone and FTP transfers, and record in the metadata the optical density of pre-registered ND filters.
Expressive UHD 4K Video Capture
The FX3A's 12.1MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor (10.2MP effective in video mode) is paired with a BIONZ XR processor to achieve UHD 4K video capture with internal 10-bit 4:2:2 sampling or 16-bit raw output. The sensor's BSI design heightens clarity and sensitivity, with an expandable ISO 80-409,600 range and a greater-than-15-stop dynamic range for working in mixed lighting conditions. Benefiting colour and tonal control, the S-Cinetone mode can be used for matching to VENICE, FX9, or FX6 sources, and there is also S-Log3/2 gamut support and 10-bit HLG for simple HDR productions. The sensor and processor also work together to greatly reduce rolling shutter, and the sensor's design incorporates a Fast Hybrid AF system for intelligent and quick focusing performance and subject tracking.
4K Full-Frame CMOS Exmor R Sensor
A 12.1MP Exmor R sensor and BIONZ XR processor offer the FX3A true cinematic expression with 10.2MP effective video and 12.1MP still capture. The full-frame sensor provides shallow depth of field looks, impressive bokeh, and reduced rolling shutter artifacts. A base sensitivity of 80-102,400 expands to a lofty 409,600 for impressive low-light capture, and 15+ stops of dynamic range reproduce the nuances of both spectacular exteriors and carefully lit interior scenes with plenty of allowance for colour grading.
Beautiful skin tone reproduction and a softer-toned look that complements your VENICE, FX9, or FX6 footage are created using the FX3A's default S-Cinetone colour setting. S-Log-3, S-Gamut3, S-Gamut3.Cine, and 10-bit 4:2:2 support help maintain rich gradation and colour matching with the range of Sony Cinema Line cameras, while HLG HDR provides the option of direct HLG playback without the need for grading.
Video Recording
Capture sharp, detailed images at rates up to 4K 120p with up to 5x slow motion at 24p output. Recording options include the ability to output DCI 4K+ in 16-bit raw over HDMI to compatible recorders while simultaneously recording XAVC 4K and proxies in-camera. Internal 4K recording options include 4:2:2 10-bit colour with All-Intra and Long GOP codecs.
Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Lens (Sony E)
Combining G Master performance with the lightest and smallest form factor in its class, Sony rounds out its trinity of f/2.8 G Master zoom lenses with its latest wide-angle offering for video and stills shooters, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Lens, which boasts a variety of optical, focusing, and handling upgrades.
G Master Optical Performance
Designed to rival prime lenses, this advanced zoom delivers exceptional resolution, clarity, and refined bokeh quality throughout the zoom range. The bright constant f/2.8 aperture enables excellent performance in low-light conditions while providing beautiful shallow depth of field control for professional creative results. Optical construction includes one Super ED element and two ED elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
Advanced Aspherical Lens Design
Five aspherical elements, including three extreme aspherical XA elements, minimise spherical aberrations and distortion while also reducing unwanted onion ring bokeh effects. This sophisticated optical design produces outstanding sharpness and smooth background rendering, ensuring high-quality imagery suitable for both professional stills and cinematic video production.
Faster Autofocus and Floating Focus System
The redesigned focusing system delivers significantly faster, quieter, and more precise autofocus performance compared to its predecessor. Four XD linear motors provide responsive autofocus ideal for both stills and video, with reliable subject tracking support when shooting at up to 30 fps. Full autofocus performance is maintained even when shooting stopped down, and focus tracking remains effective while zooming.
Enhanced Close-Up Performance and Video Features
A floating focus mechanism maintains image quality consistently throughout the focusing range, supporting an impressive minimum focusing distance of just 8.6 inches and a maximum magnification of 0.32x across the entire zoom range. Internal focusing design keeps the centre of gravity stable during operation for improved handling. For video creators, focus breathing, focus shift, and axial shift during zooming have all been minimised to ensure accurate composition and smooth cinematic recording.
Professional Video Control and Handling
The lens supports Breathing Compensation functionality on select Cinema Line and Alpha cameras, while Linear Response MF provides natural and intuitive manual focus control. A manual aperture ring allows precise tactile exposure adjustment and can be de-clicked for smooth and silent iris transitions during filming. Zoom smoothness can also be adjusted to match the desired operational feel and shooting style.
Compact, Lightweight, and Durable Construction
As the smallest and lightest f/2.8 wide-angle zoom in its class, this lens combines portability with professional-grade durability. Approximately 20% lighter and 10% smaller than its predecessor, it remains highly versatile for a wide range of shooting applications. The hybrid metal and plastic construction balances strength with reduced weight, while the dust- and moisture-resistant design includes protective sealing throughout the lens body. A fluorine coating on the front element repels water, oil, and contaminants for easier cleaning, and the redesigned lens hood complements the compact and streamlined design.
