Sony ILME-FX3 + FE C 16-35mm T3.1 E-mount

Sony ILME-FX3 Camcorder E-mount

The Sony Alpha FX3 (ILME-FX3), is the most compact camera in the Cinema Line and was designed from the ground up for filmmakers working alone. With its built-in cooling solution, the FX3's shooting time can be significantly extended, making it suitable for a wider range of uses.

It shoots outstanding 4k full-frame quality at up to 120p, minimal rolling shutter and wide dynamic range even in low light (ISO up to 409,600) thanks to its 10.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor and new Bionz XR image processor. The camera opens up new creative expression possibilities with built-in S-LOG3 and S-CINETONE image profiles, ushering in a new era of Sony Cinema Line cameras.

The Sony FX3 also offers new shooting possibilities thanks to new technologies for fast and accurate autofocus such as real-time eye autofocus, real-time tracking with touch function, and customizable autofocus tracking sensitivity. It is further equipped with a 5-axis image stabilizer with Active mode, making it ideal for handheld video.

In addition to its compact form factor, the FX3 comes with a detachable top handle that can be used to implement XLR inputs for professional microphones or other audio connections. The concept of a camera cage with various grip and screw options is already built into the camera to allow the form factor to be even more compact when shooting.

The Sony Cinema Line FX3 is designed for the future of cinematographic expression.

• Uncompromising Image Quality: rear-exposed 4K full-frame CMOS Exmor R sensor , 15+ stops dynamic range, ISO expandable to 409600 for low-light shooting.

Sony FE C 16-35mm T3.1 E-mount.

As wide as your imagination
Capture a wide field of view with the SELC1635G wide-angle Zoom lens. Full-frame digital, documentaries, or other high-quality content: the improved optical design and cutting-edge technology ensure reliable shooting.

Shoot with beautiful bokeh
Experience high-resolution images from the center of the frame to the edges - just as you would with Sony G Lenses. A wide T3.1 aperture (F2.8) from wide-angle to telephoto provides great background bokeh and impressive depth.

Responsive manual controls
Adjust focus, Zoom and aperture with smooth, consistent precision. Parfocal optics and precise controls enable versatile, repeatable shooting with the VENICE, PXW-FX9, and mirrorless α cameras.

Versatile control
In addition to manual control, the detachable servo unit provides access to new tools designed specifically for the Sony E-mount system. Use precise autofocus for spontaneous shooting or powerful servo Zoom, focus change, and iris options for creativity and more efficient workflow directly from the camera, remote, or smartphone.

New standards in resolution and bokeh.
The lens features two Sony XA (extreme aspherical) elements with a surface precision of 0.01 μm. Distortion common to wide-angle Zoom lenses, as well as astigmatism and image field curvature, is securely under control with this lens. Less attractive bokehs, such as so-called onion rings, are successfully prevented by the XA elements, resulting in only wonderfully smooth bokehs in the out-of-focus areas.

Clarity and contrast in any light
The original Sony nanocoating reduces unwanted reflections that can cause light flare and ghosting in backlit or other difficult shooting situations. The result is consistently high contrast and excellent clarity. By suppressing reflections across a wide spectrum of light, you gain flexibility in framing and composition, especially at wide-angle focal lengths.

Eleven blades for beautiful bokeh
The original circular aperture of Sony with 11 blades contributes to even better bokeh quality. Design and materials have been revised to maintain the circular shape of the aperture, and strict circularization standards have been applied to bring out the full bokeh of the lens without limitations.

Precise and responsive manual focus
The SELC1635G features a smooth, quiet linear-response manual focus that is instantaneous, precise and intuitive to control. The focus ring offers a wide rotation option (120 degrees) for fine tuning. Steps and a clear distance scale allow for uninterrupted focus changes and resets during multiple takes. In addition, filmmakers can also reverse the Zoomring and specify that aperture step adjustments are precisely indicated by tactile feedback.

More options for content producers
The SELC1635G's fixture has an industry-standard 0.8mm size and 114mm lens diameter, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of accessories, from matte boxes to focus pullers. The Zoomring rotation is also reversible to accommodate manufacturers of selected photographic lenses.

Detachable Servo Zoom
The included servo unit allows easy fingertip control for smooth, gradual Zooms, such as for a slowly rotated setting or a promotional video. Servo and manual control can be interchanged by pressing the button on the lens. When servo control is set, you can control the Zoom via the camera's handle or grip it directly. In addition, the servo unit can also be detached if necessary.

Fast and accurate AF and AE
The SELC1635G supports the hybrid phase/contrast detection autofocus (AF) and auto exposure (AE) functions of the FX9 full-frame camera. This breakthrough technology allows you to focus entirely on framing your shot, while the camera and lens work seamlessly together to maintain focus on subjects with shallow depth of field.

Fast, accurate autofocus
The floating system is made possible by dual DD-SSM ultrasonic motor (Direct Drive SuperSonic Motor) mechanisms. The special design of Sony drives two different focus groups, supporting high speed and precision as well as smooth movements. This enables ideal autofocus for both video and photo shooting.

High reliability in the toughest conditions
This lens is all-around dust and moisture resistant for added protection and reliable operation even in challenging conditions. Effortlessly create footage in light rain or wind.
