Sony Cinema Line FX30 Body + SmallRig Cage 3310 Kit

Introducing the Sony FX30 Harnessing the power of a newly developed APS-C sensor, the Sony FX30 gives everyday content creators and aspiring filmmakers a powerful yet accessible cinema camera to take their filmmaking journey to new heights. It combines an imaging pipeline designed for cinematic capture with a comprehensive feature set and intuitive handling, creating a complete system for every level of filmmaking. Cinematic Expression 26 MP APS-C/Super 35mm Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor The FX30's advanced imaging system is on par with the rest of the Sony Cinema Line - capturing detailed 10-bit UHD 4K at up to 120 fps - giving it specifications worthy of a true cinema camera. The newly developed 26 MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processor produce high-quality 4K images using the Super 35mm (16:9) area. This system can capture more than 14 stops of dynamic range and benefits from a Dual Base ISO architecture for improved performance in low light.

• High-sensitivity recording at up to ISO 32000 with Dual Base ISO (800/2500).
• When using S-Log3, the FX30 can capture more than 14 stops of dynamic range.
• Record 10-bit 4:2:2 using the advanced XAVC HS and XAVC SI formats.
• Full pixel readout of the 6K sensor creates high-quality UHD 4K video at up to 60 fps.
• High-speed shooting is possible in 4K at up to 120 fps with a 1.6x crop, and in Full HD at up to 240 fps.
• The HDMI output supports 16-bit raw video to select optional external recorders.

Professional Image Control Filmmakers can create images that are ready to publish right away for fast-turnaround projects, or opt for maximum quality and flexibility in post thanks to a wide range of image control options:

• S-Cinetone uses the same color science as Sony's advanced cinema cameras, including the VENICE series, with natural mid-tones, soft colors and smooth highlights.
• Picture profiles such as S-Log3 and HLG capture images with extended dynamic range and flexibility for editors.
• Creative Looks can be applied to recorded footage to create a distinctive mood during capture and minimize the need for editing.
• Up to 16 user-created LUTs and three presets can be set up for accurate monitoring or to preview a specific look while shooting. These can be applied to the camera monitor or EVF as well as the HDMI output.

Operation at Every Level Professional features help everyone from beginners to pros get the most out of the FX30. This includes three Log shooting modes:

• Flexible ISO uses standard ISO settings for simple operation and maximum flexibility.

• Cine EI ensures maximum dynamic range capture by recording at a manually selected base ISO and correcting the metadata for monitoring and post-production.
• Cine EI Quick automatically switches between the two base ISO settings for easier operation and excellent quality.

Intuitive Handling and Controls Fast Hybrid AF Enjoy high-speed, highly accurate autofocus performance in every mode, including 4K at up to 120 fps, thanks to the advanced Fast Hybrid AF system that uses 495 points across 90% of the image sensor.

• Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking follow the eyes of people and animals.
• The AF Assist function automatically switches to manual focus when you turn the lens focus ring.
• The Focus Map makes it easy to visualize the area of focus in the scene

5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization Sony has equipped the FX30 with a 5-axis in-body image stabilization system that delivers smooth footage even when shooting handheld. Active Mode is available, combining optical systems with digital optimization for extremely smooth shots. The FX30 can also record gyro data with optical stabilization switched off, so footage can be stabilized in post. Comprehensive Feature Set Many of Sony's cinema features have made their way into the FX30:

• Breathing compensation works with select lenses in 4K up to 60p in-camera, or up to 120p with Catalyst software after recording.
• Timecode sync input with the optional VMC-BNCM1 timecode adapter cable
• Tally lamps that make it easy to see when the camera is recording.

Catalyst Browse and Prepare Integration The FX30 records a comprehensive array of metadata that can be read and used with Sony's Catalyst Browse and Prepare software for advanced post-production. Recorded metadata includes:

• Embedded LUT and Exposure Index (EI) data.
• Gyro and lens stabilization metadata to further reduce camera shake.
• Breathing compensation can be manually controlled and adjusted.
• Camera rotation metadata ensures footage is displayed the way you intended.
• Shot marks can be added to clips during or after recording for reference

Ergonomic Design for Solo Use Light and compact, the FX30 (with a design matching the FX3) gives users the option to shoot without a cage. Users can enjoy smooth handheld footage thanks to the 5-axis in-body image stabilization system. The body features multiple threaded mounting points that are ideal for accessories, plus a Multi Interface Shoe that supports advanced accessories. In addition, the built-in fan ensures reliable performance during extended use.

• The lightweight body weighs just 1.2 lb.
• Dedicated zoom rocker.
• Fully customizable button layout.
• Five 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points for accessories.
• The Multi Interface Shoe supports advanced accessories.
• The active cooling fan allows uninterrupted recording during longer takes.
• With a design matching the FX3, the FX30 can use the same accessories, such as a cage, without modification.

A Wealth of Connectivity The FX30 is equipped with a wide range of connections for maximum customization and flexibility on the device:

• The full-size HDMI output delivers clean output up to 4K 60p as well as 16-bit raw video.
• Audio is supported on the body with a 3.5mm headphone output and a 3.5mm microphone input.
• The USB-C port can be used for high-speed data transfer or for powering the camera.
• The Multi-Terminal (Micro-USB) supports various accessories, such as remote controls, for expanded functionality.
• Timecode sync is available using the separately available VMC-BNCM1 timecode adapter cable.
• The Multi Interface Shoe supports advanced accessories, including the optional XLR handle.

Media Options To record high-bitrate footage at high frame rates, the FX30 uses an advanced, versatile set of media slots. The camera features dual CFexpress Type A/SD card slots, letting users choose different media types for different situations. CFexpress Type A offers extremely fast speeds that can be used for the FX30's most advanced recording features, while SD cards are more common and still offer high speeds and large capacities. Updated Menu System The FX30 features a refined control menu that makes operation more intuitive:

• The main menu provides a quick overview of all key video settings, including picture profile, recording format, white balance, aperture, ISO and much more.
• The shooting screen moves settings information and status icons to the edges of the display, keeping the image clear.
