Description
Product Details

Build the camera around your story

The Sony FX5 brings a full-frame Cinema Line platform to independent filmmakers and smaller production teams. Its compact body suits handheld work, supported rigs and tighter shooting spaces, while interchangeable E-mount lenses let you adapt the field of view to the project.

Choose the framing before choosing the delivery

Full-frame Open Gate recording in X-OCN uses the taller 3:2 sensor area for more framing flexibility. Other scan modes suit different formats and frame rates. Current supported settings reach 5K 60 fps and 4K 120 fps, with mode-specific restrictions. Sony plans 5K 120p, 4K 240p and further functions for firmware V2.0 in August 2027 or later; these are not current supplied capabilities.

Give the grade room to develop

Internal 16-bit scene-linear X-OCN recording supports a RAW production workflow without requiring an external RAW recorder. S-Log3, three base ISO settings and Dual Gain Shooting provide different approaches to managing exposure and tonal range. Their availability depends on the recording setup, so plan the codec, scan mode and media together.

Keep focus and camera movement under control

Subject recognition assists with people, animals and birds in compatible modes. Focus Map and AF Assist provide additional support for deliberate focus work. In-body stabilization helps with camera shake; Active and Dynamic Active modes add electronic correction with a crop and have their own frame-rate and gain restrictions.

See the image and the settings clearly

The four-axis touchscreen offers flexible viewing positions, and the BIG6 home screen keeps key shooting settings accessible. Anamorphic desqueeze supports compatible lenses. A dedicated viewfinder is available separately, but it cannot be used together with MI Shoe accessories such as the XLR handle.

Plan sound for the production

The camera provides a microphone input and headphone output for a compact audio setup. Compatible digital audio accessories, including a separately purchased XLR handle, expand the recording options. This body-only package does not include an XLR handle.

Connect the shoot to the workflow

Dual media slots, full-size HDMI, wired LAN and two USB-C ports offer several ways to build a working setup. Compatible streaming, file-transfer and remote-monitoring tools can support production and delivery. External timecode input needs the appropriate optional adapter cable.

Prepare power and cooling for longer sessions

The NP-SA100 battery, compatible USB Power Delivery equipment and internal cooling fan support longer shooting sessions when configured appropriately. Allow for the recording format, ambient temperature and accessory load. The supplied BC-SAD1 charger requires a suitable USB PD power supply and cable, which Sony does not include with the charger.
