Sony FX5 Full-Frame Cinema Camera with XLR Handle Unit
The Sony FX5 Cinema Camera with XLR Handle Unit brings the latest advancements from Sony’s Cinema Line into a versatile, production-ready system built for modern solo shooters and crewed productions. Bridging the portability of compact handheld bodies with high-end cinema capabilities inspired by the VENICE 2 and FX6, the FX5 pairs next-generation stacked sensor technology, open gate recording, and internal RAW capture with the included XLR-H2 Handle Unit for professional-grade audio and low-angle ergonomics. It is designed to empower filmmakers, documentarians, and commercial creators with uncompromised image quality and an ultra-streamlined workflow straight out of the box.
Next-Generation Stacked Sensor & Open Gate Shooting:
At the heart of the FX5 is a newly developed 16.6MP full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor paired with the BIONZ XR2 processor and an integrated AI processing unit. This architecture unlocks 3:2 Open Gate recording in 5K up to 60fps, giving creators maximum flexibility to crop for horizontal, vertical, or anamorphic delivery in post-production. Furthermore, the FX5 introduces internal X-OCN RAW recording directly to CFexpress Type A cards alongside 4K recording at up to 120fps, bringing high-end cinema flexibility into a compact handheld body.
Streamlined Ergonomics & Flexible Monitoring
The FX5 features a spacious 3.5-inch 16:9 4-axis multi-angle touchscreen LCD for clear monitoring from virtually any angle. Its lightweight, cage-free design incorporates multiple 1/4″-20 accessory mounts, 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with Dynamic Active Mode, and Sony’s streamlined BIG 6 cinema menu interface. Advanced AI-powered Fast Hybrid AF ensures precise subject detection and tracking for humans, animals, and vehicles.
Expanded Latitude with Triple Base ISO & Dual Gain
Designed for demanding lighting conditions, the FX5 offers exceptional noise control and up to 16 stops of dynamic range when utilizing its Dual Gain shooting mode. It features Triple Base ISO settings (ISO 800, 4000, and 12,800 in S-Log3), allowing cinematographers to capture clean, detailed imagery across bright daylight, ambient interiors, and extreme low-light environments without compromising dynamic range or color fidelity. S-Cinetone color science comes standard for beautiful, production-ready skin tones straight out of camera.
