Quality GuaranteeThe Sony FX30 is a compact, powerful cinema camera that brings Sony’s acclaimed Cinema Line performance to creators looking for a professional yet accessible filmmaking tool. Designed with independent filmmakers, content creators, and aspiring cinematographers in mind, the FX30 combines advanced imaging capabilities, cinematic color science, and a compact, modular form factor to deliver high-end video production in a lightweight, versatile package.
At the heart of the FX30 is a 26.1MP back-illuminated APS-C (Super 35 format) Exmor R CMOS sensor, paired with Sony’s latest BIONZ XR image processor. This combination allows the camera to capture oversampled 4K video from a 6K readout, resulting in exceptionally sharp, detailed footage with minimal moiré or aliasing. It supports a wide range of professional recording formats, including 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording in XAVC S-I and XAVC HS, as well as All-Intra and Long GOP compression options. Filmmakers can shoot up to 4K 120fps for silky-smooth slow motion, or Full HD at up to 240fps, opening up creative possibilities for dynamic storytelling.
Color grading and post-production are made easier with support for Sony’s S-Log3 gamma curve, S-Gamut3.Cine, and the industry-favorite S-Cinetone color profile, which delivers rich, cinematic skin tones straight out of the camera. The FX30 also supports user LUTs and timecode sync, making it an excellent choice for multicam productions and color-consistent workflows.
One of the FX30’s most powerful features is its fast and intelligent autofocus system. It uses phase-detection AF with 759 points, covering a large portion of the frame. Real-time Eye AF and subject tracking work reliably even in fast-paced shooting environments, helping solo operators maintain critical focus on subjects without needing a dedicated focus puller. The camera also offers breathing compensation for more natural-looking focus pulls.
Built on the same chassis as the full-frame FX3, the FX30 offers a compact and rugged body designed for rigging. Multiple 1/4″-20 mounting points are built directly into the body, eliminating the need for a cage. It features active cooling with a built-in fan for extended shooting, and dual card slots that accept both CFexpress Type A and SD cards, ensuring flexible, high-speed media handling.
Other key features include 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with Active Mode, a fully articulating 3.0″ touchscreen LCD for easy framing at any angle, a full-size HDMI port for external monitoring or recording, USB-C for fast data transfer and tethering, and a Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe for direct connection to digital audio accessories like the XLR-H1 handle unit (sold separately or bundled in FX30 kits).
Whether you’re a documentary filmmaker, YouTuber, music video director, or narrative storyteller, the Sony FX30 offers an unmatched balance of cinematic quality, professional workflow options, and affordability. It’s the perfect gateway into Sony’s Cinema Line for creators who demand performance and reliability without the size, weight, or cost of traditional cinema cameras.
