Sony ILME-FX3 + Sony Carl ZEISS SEL Planar T* FE 50mm f1.4 ZA

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.

Stunning resolution and contrast
An optimized dual Gaussian lens with two aspherical elements (including a precision AA element) has been combined with an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to eliminate curvature and distortion. At the same time, resolution and contrast are optimized throughout the image, even at the widest aperture and across all focusing distances.

Versatility and beautiful bokeh thanks to an aperture of F1.4
With the F1.4 maximum aperture, images with shallow depth of field and smooth, beautiful bokeh can be achieved. A fast maximum aperture like this also allows you to shoot with fast shutter speeds in low light conditions. Of course, a smaller aperture can also be set if needed to achieve a greater depth of field.

11 blades for bokeh with natural highlights
Although the circular aperture design of Sony typically uses up to 9 blades, this lens has 11 blades, providing a whole new level of bokeh quality. Natural-looking highlights in the out-of-focus areas enhance the overall atmosphere and provide a smooth impression of depth.

Ring motor autofocus
The ring-drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) system enables fast and accurate positioning of the lens' heavy focus group, bringing out the best in high-resolution camera bodies. Fast and accurate focusing is required to realize the full potential of a high-resolution camera body when shooting photos and videos.

Convenient fingertip control
Aperture control is intuitive thanks to the physical aperture ring. A Zoomlock switch allows you to activate and deactivate the aperture steps on the aperture ring as needed. When shooting movies, it is recommended to DISABLE the aperture stops, while tactile feedback is often helpful when shooting stills. There is also a focus adjustment switch for easy switching between manual and automatic focus.

Outstanding colors and contrasts
ZEISS® lenses are known for their excellent color and contrast reproduction. The ZEISS® T* coating is crucial in this regard, as it helps to avoid unwanted reflections that can degrade image quality. Ghosting and light effects are reduced in favor of vibrant colors and contrasts that add depth and three-dimensionality to your images.
