Sony FX6 Full-Frame Cinema Camera

Professional Cinema Capture in a Compact Body

The Sony FX6 Cinema Line camera combines a 10.2MP effective full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor with the powerful BIONZ XR processing engine. It captures DCI 4K up to 60p, UHD 4K up to 120p, and Full HD up to 240p, offering professional 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording, 15+ stops of dynamic range, S-Cinetone color science, S-Log3, electronically variable ND filtration, advanced autofocus, dual media slots, and external RAW capabilities. Its lightweight modular design makes it suitable for documentary, narrative, commercial, and single-operator cinema production.

Record DCI 4K at 4096 × 2160 up to 59.94 fps, UHD 4K at 3840 × 2160 up to 120 fps, or Full HD at 1920 × 1080 up to 240 fps.

Internal recording options include XAVC-I and XAVC-L, with professional 10-bit 4:2:2 capture and bitrates reaching 600 Mb/s in supported configurations.

The FX6 offers a manufacturer-stated dynamic range of more than 15 stops, capturing subtle details across bright highlights and deep shadows.

Cine EI and S-Log3 help filmmakers maximize the usable tonal range and retain extensive color-grading flexibility.

Sony's S-Cinetone delivers a film-inspired image with pleasing skin tones, soft tonal transitions, and an expressive cinematic look.

For advanced postproduction, the FX6 supports S-Log3, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine, making it easier to match footage with other Sony Cinema Line cameras.

The integrated electronic variable ND system provides continuous exposure adjustment without changing the selected lens aperture.

Its range extends from approximately 1/4 to 1/128 light transmission, equivalent to 2 to 7 stops.

Auto and manual settings allow effective exposure management as lighting conditions change.

The FX6 supports up to 16-bit RAW output for recording with compatible external devices and workflows.

Traditional RAW output is available through the professional SDI interface, while supported firmware also enables RAW output through HDMI.

Firmware 6.0 introduced support for external Blackmagic RAW recording using compatible Blackmagic Design equipment.

RAW recording is external rather than internal, and the recorded format depends on the external recorder and camera firmware.

The camera includes a touchscreen LCD with an approximately 8.9 cm diagonal and 1280 × 720 display resolution.

The monitor supports flexible positioning and provides quick access to camera parameters, recording information, and audio settings.

Professional video connectivity includes 12G-SDI, HDMI, and Timecode, supporting external monitoring, recording, and multi-camera synchronization.

USB-C and built-in Wi-Fi provide additional options for compatible remote-control and network workflows.

Firmware 6.0 introduced the BIG6 home screen for a clearer view of essential shooting and equipment settings.

Additional improvements included autofocus refinements, updated shooting-screen layout, HLG Mild, external scene-file transfer, HDMI Focus Magnifier, and enhanced monitoring tools.

The update also added support for external Blackmagic RAW recording over HDMI with compatible equipment.
