Sony FX6 Overview

Compact Powerhouse for Professional Filmmaking

The Sony FX6 Full-Frame Cinema Camera delivers powerful cinematic performance in an ultra-compact body. Designed for versatility and professional workflows, the FX6 combines stunning image quality with the agility needed for documentary, commercial, gimbal, or drone shooting. Featuring Sony’s acclaimed S-Cinetone color science for rich, film-like skin tones and over 15 stops of dynamic range, this camera is your all-in-one tool for creative storytelling.

4K Full-Frame Exmor R Sensor for Stunning Clarity

At the heart of the FX6 lies a 10.2MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor paired with the BIONZ XR image processor, offering exceptional low-light performance and a cinematic full-frame depth of field. With a dual native ISO of 800 and 12,800, you can capture clean, detailed images even in challenging lighting conditions.
The sensor’s fast scan speed minimizes rolling shutter and ensures responsive autofocus performance, powered by 627 phase-detection AF points for smooth subject tracking and Real-time Eye AF precision.

Lightweight, Single-Operator Design

Weighing under 2 pounds and measuring only 6 × 4.6 inches, the Sony FX6 redefines portability for professional shooters. Its ergonomic, modular design allows solo operators to shoot comfortably in dynamic environments. The 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD monitor offers intuitive access to key settings like codec, ISO, frame rate, and audio levels, while the electronic variable ND filter lets you adjust exposure seamlessly from 1/4 to 1/128 without affecting depth of field.

Part of Sony’s Renowned Cinema Line

The FX6 proudly joins Sony’s Cinema Line, sharing its DNA with the VENICE and FX9. It offers the same full-frame sensor, S-Cinetone color science, and professional-grade connectivity, while improving portability and low-light performance. Compared to the FX9, the FX6 delivers 4K 120p recording, an expanded ISO range up to 409,600, and dual CFexpress Type A / SDXC slots for maximum flexibility.

Expressive Cinematic Look with S-Cinetone

Sony’s S-Cinetone color profile delivers beautiful, film-like imagery straight out of the camera. It produces soft highlights, pleasing skin tones, and a naturally cinematic color palette. Combine this with S-Log3, S-Gamut3, and S-Gamut3.Cine options to perfectly match your FX6 footage with VENICE or FX9 for consistent color grading across multiple cameras.
