Sony FX2 Full-Frame Cinema & Stills Camera
The Sony FX2 blends the cinematic DNA of Sony’s Cinema Line with advanced still image capabilities, creating a compact, travel-ready tool for hybrid creators. At its heart is a 33MP full-frame sensor, paired with a dedicated AI processing unit for exceptional autofocus precision, subject recognition, and stabilization. Whether you’re capturing 4K video for a documentary or shooting high-resolution stills for a campaign, the FX2 delivers uncompromising performance in a lightweight, handheld design.
33MP Full-Frame Sensor with 7K Oversampling
At the core of the FX2 is its back-illuminated 33MP sensor, which enables oversampled 7K capture for crisp 4K30 recording in full-frame mode. Switching to Super 35 allows 4K at up to 60 fps, extending creative flexibility while retaining detail and low-noise performance. A wide dynamic range of over 15 stops, dual-base ISO at 800 and 4000, and ISO sensitivity expandable to 204,800 ensure exceptional results in diverse lighting environments.
Cinema-Grade Video Recording
Engineered for flexibility in post-production, the FX2 records internally in 10-bit 4:2:2 or outputs 16-bit raw via HDMI. Users can shoot in XAVC S, S-I, or HS formats, choosing from Long GOP, All-Intra, H.264, or H.265 codecs. Support for up to 16 custom LUTs, S-Log3, HLG, and S-Cinetone enables seamless color grading and easy matching with VENICE, FX9, FX6, and FX3. The camera also offers variable frame rates, in-camera anamorphic de-squeeze for 1.3x and 2.0x lenses, and robust options for slow motion or time-lapse creation.
Hybrid Still Image Capture
Extending beyond cinema, the FX2 embraces hybrid workflows with advanced still-photo capability. A dedicated toggle lets users switch instantly between video and still modes. Shooters can capture 33MP JPEG or HEIF images in S-Log3 for flexible grading, apply imported LUTs to stills, or even extract high-quality photos directly from marked video clips. With support for S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine color spaces, the FX2 brings cinematic tonality to both motion and still imagery.
AI-Powered Autofocus and Framing
Sony’s latest AI processing unit powers real-time subject recognition and framing. Leveraging deep learning, the FX2 identifies people, animals, and vehicles with remarkable precision, delivering sharp focus in fast-paced environments. Human and animal eye tracking is improved by 30% over the FX3 and FX30, while auto framing dynamically adjusts composition to keep subjects center-frame during recording.
Advanced Stabilization
Whether handheld or rigged, the FX2 ensures steady results through a combination of 5-axis in-body stabilization, Dynamic Active Mode, and AI-enhanced framing stabilizers. Metadata is embedded into recorded footage, allowing further stabilization refinements in post-production when paired with Sony Catalyst software.
Viewfinder and LCD Operation
Unique within the Cinema Line, the FX2 includes a built-in 3.68m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with a 0.7x magnification and a tilting design from 0 to 90°. The reversible eyecup and generous 33mm eye point make it usable in challenging light conditions. Complementing this is a 3.0″ vari-angle touchscreen LCD with intuitive menu navigation, a tiltable design, and 1.03m-dot resolution. Together, these displays support both traditional eye-level shooting and flexible off-axis operation.
Connectivity and Workflow Integration
The FX2 is equipped with versatile connectivity for modern workflows, supporting both on-set and remote production.
- USB-C port with PD fast charging and LAN support via adapter

Compact, Durable Design
Constructed from lightweight magnesium alloy, the FX2 is engineered for portability while ensuring durability in professional use. Its redesigned grip integrates one of five 1/4″-20 threads, and its heat-dissipating system with built-in fan allows uninterrupted 4K60 recording. Key controls—such as the movie/still switch, zoom lever, power toggle, and record button—are dedicated for quick access, while seven customizable buttons adapt to user workflow.
