The Sony FX3 delivers full-frame cinema image quality in a compact, lightweight body designed for solo operators, documentarians, and run-and-gun filmmakers. Built around a 10.2MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and the BIONZ XR processor, the FX3 captures 4K footage at up to 120 fps with 15+ stops of dynamic range. Sony's S-Cinetone color profile provides pleasing skin tones and cinematic color rendition straight from the camera, while S-Log3 support enables maximum flexibility in post-production.
At just 715g (body with handle, battery, and memory card), the FX3 features an active cooling system that allows extended recording in most formats, addressing a common limitation of mirrorless cameras used for extended video work. The camera accepts Sony E-mount lenses and includes the XLR handle unit which provides dual XLR inputs, a full-size HDMI port, and 5-axis in-body stabilization for reliable handheld shooting.
The FX3 combines sensor technology from Sony's Alpha mirrorless cameras with professional cinema features. The 10.2MP sensor is optimized for video, using larger pixels that improve low-light sensitivity and dynamic range. Dual Base ISO settings of 800 and 12800 (in S-Log3) allow cinematographers to choose the optimal sensitivity for their lighting conditions while maintaining clean, noise-controlled footage.
Sony's Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking work across humans and animals keeping subjects in focus during handheld shooting and unpredictable situations. The autofocus system uses 627 phase-detection points covering 92% of the frame, providing responsive tracking even when subjects move quickly through the scene.
The FX3 records internally to CFexpress Type A or SD cards using Sony's XAVC codecs. XAVC S-I offers 10-bit 4:2:2 intra-frame recording for maximum quality in post-production. XAVC S and XAVC HS (H.265) Long GOP options provide efficient file sizes for longer shoots and faster turnaround projects. The camera supports 16-bit RAW output over HDMI to compatible external recorders for productions requiring the highest image quality.
Color science is designed to match Sony's Cinema Line cameras, including the FX6 and FX9, enabling seamless multi-camera workflows. S-Cinetone delivers a cinematic look with natural skin tones straight out of camera. S-Log3 and S-Log2 profiles preserve maximum dynamic range for color grading, while HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) supports direct delivery to HDR compatible screens without additional processing.
The FX3 body is constructed from magnesium alloy with dust and moisture resistance. The included XLR handle unit attaches to the Multi Interface Shoe, adding two XLR/TRS combo inputs with phantom power and improved grip during handheld operation. A tally light on the front indicates recording status for interview subjects.
Six customizable buttons can be assigned to frequently used functions, and the camera includes a record button accessible by the index finger during handheld shooting. The 3.0-inch vari-angle LCD tilts and swivels for flexible positioning.
The active cooling system uses a fan and heat dissipation structure to prevent overheating during extended recording, addressing the thermal limitations that affect many mirrorless cameras during long-form content capture.
The FX3 uses Sony's E-mount, providing access to a comprehensive lens ecosystem including G Master primes and zooms, G series lenses, and many third-party options. Native E-mount lenses take full advantage of the camera's autofocus system and in-body stabilization. For expanded lens options, explore our lenses collection.
The camera integrates with a wide range of professional video accessories including wireless audio systems, external monitors, and recorders. The full-size HDMI port outputs clean 4K signals for monitoring or external recording. Dual card slots support options such as simultaneous recording, relay recording, or proxy workflows. For batteries, chargers, and additional accessories, browse Sony camera accessories.
Documentary filmmakers take advantage of the FX3's compact form factor and heat-dissipating internal structure to support uninterrupted recording in unpredictable environments. The active cooling system and weather-resistant construction handle challenging conditions where larger cinema cameras would be impractical. Solo operators benefit from the lightweight design, responsive autofocus, and stabilization that together reduce the need for additional crew or equipment.
Wedding and event videographers use the FX3 for its combination of cinematic image quality and practical size. The camera can capture entire ceremonies without overheating concerns, and the discreet form factor allows filming without drawing attention from guests. The dual XLR inputs accommodate professional wireless systems and shotgun microphones for reliable audio capture.
Content creators and social media producers find value in the FX3's straightforward operation, utilizing S-Cinetone to reduce turn around time and post-production work. The camera's various picture profiles produce broadcast-quality footage that requires minimal color correction for web delivery or flexibility for more extensive grading when needed. For those building a complete Sony kit, the FX3 serves as either a primary camera or a compact companion to larger digital cinema cameras.
S-Cinetone is a picture profile that offers a cinematic look with natural skin tones and pleasing color rendition. Footage can be used directly without color grading. S-Log3 is a logarithmic gamma curve that captures maximum dynamic range for extensive color grading in post-production. Most filmmakers shoot S-Log3 for controlled productions and S-Cinetone for fast turnaround or when minimal post-processing is preferred.
Yes. The FX3 features an active cooling system with an internal fan that allows for extended recording times at 4K 60p in standard operating temperatures. At 4K 120p, recording time depends on ambient temperature and other factors, but the cooling system significantly extends recording duration compared to cameras without active thermal management.
The FX3 has dual card slots that each accept CFexpress Type A or SD (UHS-I / UHS-II) cards. For 4K 120p recording or high-bitrate XAVC S-I formats, CFexpress Type A cards provide the required write speeds. SD (UHS-I / UHS-II) cards work well for lower bitrate recording options and proxy files.
Yes. The FX3 includes 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and an Active Mode that provides additional electronic stabilization for handheld shooting. The stabilization system works with lenses that include internal stabilization and lenses without internal stabilization. Sony's E-mount provides access to a wide ecosystem of cinema, G-Master, and third party lenses.
The Sony FX3 brings full-frame cinema performance to a compact body built for filmmakers, documentarians, and content creators. With 4K 120p capture, active cooling, professional audio inputs, and Sony's acclaimed color science, the FX3 handles demanding productions while remaining highly portable for solo operation. Samy's Camera provides fast shipping, expert support, and a complete selection of Sony cameras and accessories to build your production kit.
