Sony FX5, a new Cinema Line camera with a newly developed image sensor
Sony introduces the FX5, a new full-frame camera in its Cinema Line series. The camera is equipped with a newly developed fully-stacked CMOS image sensor and further enhances sensitivity performance through 15+ stops of dynamic range, a Dual Gain Shooting mode, and three base ISO settings. For the first time in the Cinema Line FX series, it supports Open Gate shooting as well as in-camera recording in X-OCN, Sony’s proprietary RAW format. The camera is capable of shooting in 5K at up to 60 frames per second, in 4K up to 120 frames per second and in FHD up to 240 frame per second. These features bring together the Cinema Line look and operability designed to meet the needs of production environments in a compact, highly portable body. This release will also include two new optional accessories: a detachable OLED viewfinder and an XLR Handle that enables audio recording in-camera at up to 96 kHz, 32-bit float. ILME-FX5 with XLR Handle Unit will be available from August 2026.
