Features

5K full-frame fully-stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor

The full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor enables fast readout for high-resolution, high-frame-rate recording. Wide latitude and low noise ensure smooth gradation and natural textures, even in high-contrast scenes. 

BIONZ XR2™ with integrated AI processing 

The BIONZ XR2 engine delivers dramatic improvements in image, sound, communication, operation, and more. Built-in AI processing enables enhanced subject recognition*1 and deep learning-based Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW), helping you shoot with confidence. 

Open Gate 

The FX5 offers full-frame Open Gate recording*2 — a first*4 in the Cinema Line FX series. With 5K up to 60 fps (FF 3:2), 4K up to 120 fps (FF crop) *5 and more, it gives you the freedom to adjust framing, speed and workflow to realize even the most ambitious vision. 

Internal X-OCN compressed RAW 

Capture 16-bit scene-linear X-OCN internally*6 *7 *8, eliminating the need for an external RAW data recorder. With LT, C1 and C2 codecs, you can balance image quality, file size and RAW workflow flexibility to suit the production. 

Three Base ISO 

Three Base ISO settings - a standard ISO 800, a mid-sensitivity ISO 4000, and a high-sensitivity ISO 12800*9 for low light - are available to match your shooting environment. Capture clean shadows and wide latitude across varied lighting conditions, for consistently stunning clarity. 

15+ stops of latitude 

Wide latitude helps capture highlight and shadow detail with smooth, natural gradation. Low shadow noise preserves clarity, texture and atmosphere, letting you push your creative grading choices further. 

Dual Gain 

Dual Gain Shooting maximizes latitude while reducing noise to enhance shadow details*11. Making full use of the sensor’s capability, it delivers smooth, natural gradients for greater editing flexibility. 

High-frame-rate capture

High frame rates open up striking slow-motion possibilities. The FX5 records up to 5K at 60 fps*5 and 4K at 120 fps*5, giving creators the power to capture fast-paced action with impressive detail and clarity — ideal for everything from cinematic storytelling to sharp sports and documentary footage.  

Precise, reliable AF and tracking

With built-in AI processing, the BIONZ XR2 engine accurately recognizes human, animal, and bird eyes (Real-time Eye AF) *1 . Fast Hybrid AF uses up to 759 points*13 to ensure accurate focus and tracking that keeps up with quick-moving subjects, even in dark scenes and when shooting with a shallow depth of field.

Lightweight, compact design for agility on set

The compact flattop body and stable grip are built for comfortable handheld work. Paired with Sony's compact lenses, the FX5 becomes a mobile system for flexible shooting with gimbals, in tight spaces and in fast-moving productions.

Dual CFexpress Type A/SD card slots for flexible media workflows

Dual CFexpress Type A*24 slots support relay, simultaneous, and separate recording while also accepting SDXC (UHS-II/UHS-I) cards. Main and proxy files can be recorded to different slots, giving productions more flexibility in media choice, backup strategy, and file handling.
