The Sony FX3A merges the professional features of Sony’s Cinema Line with the portability of its Alpha series, giving filmmakers and creators a compact, handheld cinema camera that delivers full-frame performance without compromise. Designed for solo shooters, travel filmmakers, and content creators who demand professional results in a lightweight body, the FX3A redefines what’s possible in a run-and-gun setup.
Cinematic Imaging in a Compact Body
The FX3A features a 12.1MP Exmor R BSI CMOS sensor paired with the BIONZ XR processor, capturing UHD 4K video up to 120p with rich 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording or 16-bit RAW output. Experience smooth, detailed footage and stunning bokeh with the full-frame sensor’s shallow depth of field.
Unrivaled Low-Light Performance
Shoot confidently in any lighting environment. The FX3A’s ISO range of 80–409,600 and 15+ stops of dynamic range deliver remarkable clarity and detail in both bright exteriors and dark interiors — ideal for documentary, travel, and event videography.
Professional Color Science & HDR Options
Achieve cinematic tones straight out of the camera with S-Cinetone color science, designed to match Sony’s flagship VENICE, FX9, and FX6. For advanced workflows, the camera supports S-Log3/2 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) for seamless HDR production and flexible post-production color grading.
Reliable Performance for Long Shoots
Stay in the action without overheating. A built-in cooling system with a silent fan and heatsink ensures continuous 4K60 recording. Dual card slots support CFexpress Type A and SDXC media, offering backup, relay, and simultaneous recording options for professional reliability.
Designed for Filmmakers on the Move
The cage-free design includes multiple mounting points for mics, monitors, and accessories—no rig required. With compact form factor and advanced autofocus, the FX3A is the ultimate tool for creators who demand cinema-grade performance in a portable package.
