Comprehensive Monitoring Solutions

You will find a redesigned 3.5" 4-axis multi-angle touchscreen that allows for more flexibility, composing high, low, or unconventional shooting positions. The screen features a wide 16:9 display offering an optimised viewing experience for modern cinema formats. Sony's updated cinema-focused BIG 6 user interface streamlines access to critical camera settings.
Professional monitoring tools, including waveform, vector scope, false colour, histogram, zebra, peaking, and focus map, are built directly into the camera. This gives filmmakers precise exposure and focus control without requiring external monitoring solutions.

Dynamic Range and Three Base ISO

The Sony Cinema Line FX5 Camera is designed to excel over a wide range of lighting conditions by incorporating dual-gain architecture. This provides you with more than 16 stops of dynamic range, this is to preserve highlight detail while maintaining clean shadow information.
The introduction of Three Base ISO adds an additional sensitivity setting, including the new ISO 4000 option, delivering cleaner low-light performance without increasing image noise. This produces greater flexibility working in uncontrolled environments, still maintaining image quality throughout the exposure range.

XLR Handle Unit (NOT INCLUDED)

The Sony XLR-H2 XLR Handle Unit is an optional extra to our Sony FX5, enabling you to enjoy 32-bit float audio recording. Another first in the Sony FX Cinema Line Series.
It takes the worry out of audio recording by eliminating clipping and offering an exceptional dynamic range. This handle also improves the ergonomics and connectivity of the camera by adding two XLR inputs, a mic mount, along with some physical controls to dial in audio settings.

DVF-EL1 EVF: High-Quality Monitoring in All Conditions (NOT INCLUDED)

The Sony DVF-EL1 Electronic Viewfinder is a removable and tiltable (up to 90°) electronic viewfinder that is separately available. It attaches to a proprietary connection on the top of the FX 5 body.
The display itself is an OLED with high refresh rate options, a wide colour gamut, and high brightness.

Timecode Adapter Cable: Unlock Proper TC Support (NOT INCLUDED)

Due to the high-end pro cinema specs found in the Sony Cinema Line FX5 Camera, you can use the Sony VMC-BNCU1 Timecode Adapter Cable (USB-C to BNC) for maximum compatibility and proper sync and coordination between different departments.

Note: Due to the location of the connector for the EVF and XLR Handle Unit, the Multi Function Shoe cannot be used along with the EVF and XLR Unit.
