Capture professional productions with the Sony FX5 Cinema Camera with XLR Handle Unit, built for filmmakers who need high-resolution imaging, flexible recording formats, dependable autofocus, and efficient workflows. Featuring a 5K full-frame stacked sensor, internal X-OCN RAW recording, three Base ISO settings, AI-powered autofocus, and professional audio through the included XLR handle, the FX5 is designed to support productions ranging from documentaries and interviews to commercial and cinematic filmmaking.
5K Full-Frame Image Quality
The 5K full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor delivers fast readout speeds for high-resolution recording with low noise and over 15 stops of latitude. This helps preserve highlight and shadow detail while providing flexibility during color grading.
Internal X-OCN RAW Recording
Record 16-bit scene-linear X-OCN RAW internally without requiring an external recorder. Multiple recording options allow users to balance image quality, storage requirements, and post-production workflows.
Three Base ISO for Different Lighting Conditions
Three Base ISO settings—ISO 800, 4000, and 12800—help optimize image quality across bright and low-light environments. Combined with Dual Gain technology, the FX5 reduces noise while maintaining wide dynamic range.
AI-Powered Autofocus and Subject Tracking
The BIONZ XR2 processor uses AI to recognize and track people, animals, and birds. Fast Hybrid AF with up to 759 phase-detection points helps maintain focus on moving subjects, making it useful for handheld, documentary, and action shooting.
Professional Audio with Included XLR Handle
The included XLR Handle Unit provides two XLR/TRS inputs, a 3.5mm stereo input, support for up to four audio channels, and 96 kHz/32-bit float recording. This allows creators to capture high-quality audio directly in-camera while simplifying on-set recording.
Built for Flexible Production Workflows
Dual CFexpress Type A and SD card slots support relay, simultaneous, and proxy recording. Wired LAN, built-in Wi-Fi, HDMI output, USB-C connectivity, and compatibility with Monitor and Control and Catalyst software help streamline remote production and post-production workflows.
Compact Design for Production
The lightweight body includes multiple accessory mounting points, in-body 5-axis stabilization, an active cooling system for extended recording, and a multi-angle LCD monitor, making it suitable for handheld, gimbal, and rig-mounted shooting.
