6K full frame "Exmor R" sensor for breathtaking picture quality
The full-frame 6K sensor of the camera enables excellent recording in DCI 4K *, Ultra HD and HD resolutions. Powerful image processing with debayering and oversampling ensures image quality beyond the limits of conventional Super 35mm sensors. The backlit CMOS image sensor also uses Sony's Exmor R technology for improved sensitivity and noise reduction. Compared to a 4K Super 35mm sensor, the FX9's 6K sensor has a double surface and at the same time offers a larger viewing angle and less depth of field.

* DCI 4K (4096 x 2160 at 17: 9 recording) will be available with the future firmware version.


Phenomenal 15+ stop dynamic range for limitless expression.

The FX9 offers an exceptional dynamic range of 15+ levels - beyond the normal range of human perception - and enables unprecedented creative freedom in color correction and posting. Cameramen can focus on framing the desired scene while relying on the FX9 to capture all the nuances and details using either the 4K 4: 2: 2: 2 internal 10-bit recording or the external 16-bit -RAW capture. * Grading allows colorists to find color and detail beyond the cameraman?s normal vision to create a final image that accurately reflects the mood of the scene.

RAW recording requires a future firmware version and an external recorder.


Dual Base ISO for impressive pictures in any light

The FX9 has a base sensitivity of ISO 800 and offers the optimal dynamic range for typical documentary applications such as shooting outdoors or in brightly lit interiors. A secondary high base sensitivity of ISO 4000 distinguishes itself in poor lighting conditions such as in the morning and in the evening with excellent image quality. ISO 4000 is also ideal if you use slow lenses. The combination of Dual Base ISO with the electronic variable ND filter of the camera offers excellent creative control in almost any shooting environment and enables the next generation to react to changing conditions.
* ISO 800 and ISO 4000 are used in S-Log3, Cine EI mode.
