Build a compact filmmaking setup with the Sony FX30. Its APS-C/Super 35 sensor, flexible log recording, hybrid autofocus and in-body stabilization support independent productions and creative video projects. Body-only package; lens sold separately.

A compact starting point for serious filmmaking

The Sony FX30 brings Cinema Line operation to an APS-C/Super 35 camera body. It is a practical option for independent productions, documentary work and creators building a compact E-mount video system.

Choose the look and the finishing process

S-Cinetone offers a convenient starting look, while S-Log3 and Cine EI support a more deliberate colour-grading workflow. In supported Cine EI modes, base ISO options of 800 and 2500 help you plan exposure around the scene. User LUT monitoring lets you preview a compatible look without confusing the monitored image with the underlying log recording.

Use movement and slow motion deliberately

Internal 4K recording reaches up to 119.88p/100p in supported modes, while Full HD S&Q offers higher capture rates for slow motion. The highest 4K rates add a substantial crop to the APS-C view, so allow for tighter framing when choosing a lens. Available frame rates, colour sampling and card requirements vary by codec.

Work with autofocus and stabilization

Hybrid autofocus and supported eye-detection modes help keep attention on the subject. Five-axis in-body stabilization reduces camera shake, while Active video stabilization adds electronic correction and changes the framing. Neither replaces a stable shooting position when the scene needs controlled movement.

Build the rig around your production

The vari-angle touchscreen, full-size HDMI output and two CFexpress Type A/SD-compatible slots support different shooting setups. A built-in fan helps manage heat, with recording time still dependent on settings, conditions, media and power. The camera can output RAW video to a compatible external recorder; it does not record RAW video internally.

Plan your sound and still-photo needs

The body provides microphone and headphone connections. A compatible XLR handle or digital shoe accessory is needed for the corresponding professional audio inputs and expanded recording options; an XLR handle is not listed in this package. The FX30 also takes still photographs, but its electronic-only shutter and lack of continuous still-image burst shooting make it primarily a video tool.
