S-Cinetone™ for a cinematic look without grading
The FX30 incorporates S-Cinetone, based on the colour science behind the highly regarded colour and skin tones of the FX9 and FX6. It delivers the natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin, plus soft colours and gorgeous highlights. Because S-Cinetone produces all this directly within the camera, it’s easy to achieve a beautiful cinematic look without the necessity of post-production grading.
Dual Base ISO for cleaner images in low light
The Dual Base ISO feature provides two Base ISO settings; one at ISO 800 and one at ISO 2500. This allows you to select an appropriate noise floor, for clean images, as well as maximise the FX30’s dynamic range when shooting in both bright or low-light conditions. What’s more, a wide 14+ stops12 of latitude minimises the risk of blown highlights or blocked shadows over a wide range of lighting conditions.
Log recording for smooth cinematic colour grading
For full-scale productions, the S-Log3 gamma curve provided in the FX30 has been designed for smooth gradations, and to make it easier to achieve cinematic image quality when colour grading in post-production. Both S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine offer high-quality colour reproduction over a wide latitude, and special care has been taken to adjust the camera’s output to ensure that the highest image quality can be easily achieved during post processing.
Sophisticated focus functions to handle any situation
The FX30 makes fast, accurate focusing as easy as possible. AF Assist17 smoothly switches between auto and manual focus, it enables easy rack focusing, and it can save time even when you are primarily using manual focus. Focus Map18 makes it easy to visualise depth of field while shooting, and Breathing Compensation19 provides a stable angle of view when rack focusing by minimising the field-of-view shift that can occur with some lenses.
Multi-thread body makes a cage unnecessary
Designed for mobility and efficiency, the body of the FX30 features five thread holes (1/4-20 UNC) for accessories, making a cage unnecessary. While providing ample capacity for accessory attachment, the fact that no cage is required contributes to reduced system size and weight for easier handheld shooting. The XLR handle unit25 provides three additional thread holes so that accessories and add-ons can be stably and securely attached.
