Description
The Sony FX2 Cinema Line compact cinema camera is an exciting addition to Sony's professional interchangeable lens camcorder series, designed for video content creators looking for a compact full-frame camera with serious capabilities. It combines the small and lightweight body inherited from the FX3 with greater capabilities and features typical of bulkier, higher-end cameras, as well as industry-standard improvements assisted by artificial intelligence - autofocus and tracking, stabilization and framing.
Design and construction
The camera features a compact and lightweight body weighing approximately 680 grams (with battery and memory card) and is an excellent choice for handheld shooting, with gimbals, stabilizers or small rigs, and even with drones. Integrated mounting threads allow for easy attachment of accessories without the need for an additional cage. A significant advantage is provided by the removable viewfinder with a deep eyepiece, optimized for video.
Video capabilities

Support for 10-bit 4:2:2 recording ensures detailed and rich colors suitable for professional post-production.
Color profiles and gamut
The FX2 supports S-Cinetone, which delivers cinematic tones and natural colors straight from the camera. Additionally, support for S-Log3 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) allows for wider dynamic range and flexibility in color correction.
Autofocus and stabilization
The camera features Real-time Recognition AF with the ability to recognize and track people, animals, vehicles and even insects in real time, aided by artificial intelligence. AI also relies on stabilization modes Active Mode and Dynamic Active Mode, which make it easier to shoot handheld, as well as Auto Framing and Framing Stabilizer, which automatically keep the subject in the frame.
Audio capabilities
The Sony FX2 Cinema Line offers professional audio options through the ability to include an XLR handle, which provides two XLR/TRS combo inputs for high-quality audio. With this accessory, the cinema camera supports 4-channel 24-bit audio recording, providing flexibility for different production audio requirements.

Lens Sony SEL FE PZ 28-135mm f / 4 G OSS
The Sony SEL FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS lens is a universal zoom lens with built-in optical stabilization for E-mount mirrorless cameras.
This power zoom lens is designed to meet the demands of high-quality film images (including 4K) when paired with a high-performance Full frame camera or Super 35 format camcorder.
Focus angle change, image shift and all types of aberrations are minimized.
The Sony SEL FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS features stepless aperture control and motorized zoom, making this lens ideal for video shooting.
Compact dimensions, light weight and dust and moisture proof construction allow the lens to be used in a variety of conditions.
Full-format G Lens for professional cinematography
This Sony lens boasts a precision optical design that supports 4K, as well as future high resolution formats with minimal angles when focusing and shifting the image. Three control rings offer manual control for demanding widescreen productions, and the first SSM lens drive contributes to quiet scaling with electric drive.
Full-length G Lens for serious cinematography
High-definition movie formats set high performance standards, and this zoom lens really delivers the precision and quality required for 4K and higher formats.
Optical for smooth movements meets professional needs
Requirements for movie lenses are high. Sony Smooth Motion Optics provides a minimal change of focus angle, quiet operation and other qualities that are key to movies.
Smooth, quiet scaling with electric drive
Quiet operation is a priority in professional filmmaking, so an SSM (ultrasonic wave motor) propulsion system is used for precise, quiet scaling with electric drive.
Small and light for better handling
The compact, lightweight construction, which is also dust and moisture resistant, is ideal for situations requiring mobility plus reliability.
Lens configuration
The flawless design of the Sony G Lens contributes to the graceful balance between high definition and beautiful background bokeh that can enhance the artist's vision.
