Sony FX5 Full-Frame Cinema Camera with XLR-H2 Handle Unit

The Sony FX5 Full-Frame Cinema Camera with XLR-H2 Handle Unit empowers filmmakers to step confidently into the next stage of their professional journey. Combining an advanced cinema look and refined operability in a compact body, this kit pairs the FX5 with the XLR-H2 Handle Unit for professional multi-channel audio capture, giving creators the freedom to realise their vision with greater precision, control and expressive potential.

Cinema-Class Image Quality

At the heart of the FX5 is a 5K full-frame fully-stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, built for speed, detail and latitude. Fast readout enables high-resolution, high-frame-rate recording, while wide latitude and low noise ensure smooth gradation and natural textures, even in high-contrast scenes. It's all backed by the BIONZ XR2 processor with integrated AI for enhanced shooting support.

Open Gate and Flexible Image Scan Modes

The FX5 offers full-frame Open Gate recording, a first in the Cinema Line FX series. With 5K up to 120 fps (FF 3:2), 4K up to 240 fps (FF crop) and more, you have the freedom to adjust framing, speed and workflow to realise even the most ambitious vision.

Internal X-OCN RAW Recording

Capture 16-bit scene-linear X-OCN internally, eliminating the need for an external RAW data recorder. With LT, C1 and C2 codecs, you can balance image quality, file size and RAW workflow flexibility to suit the production.

Three Base ISO Settings

Three Base ISO settings are available to match your shooting environment: a standard ISO 800, a mid-sensitivity ISO 4000 and a high-sensitivity ISO 12800 for low light. Capture clean shadows and wide latitude across varied lighting conditions, for consistently stunning clarity.

Dual Gain Shooting

Making its debut in the Cinema Line FX series, Dual Gain Shooting maximises latitude while reducing noise to enhance shadow details. Making full use of the sensor's capability, it delivers smooth, natural gradients for greater editing flexibility.

High-Quality Audio Recording

With up to 96 kHz/32bit float audio and up to 4 channels of top-quality recording, the FX5 helps you capture cleaner sound without slowing down the shoot. The XLR handle unit supports two XLR/TRS inputs and a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack.

Intelligent Autofocus and Connectivity

Fast, reliable phase-detection AF with up to 759 points and AI-based Subject Recognition keeps your subject sharp. A 3.5-type 16:9 touch-panel monitor makes operation intuitive, while Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands), wired LAN up to 2.5GBASE-T and Bluetooth 5.3 keep you connected on set.

XLR-H2 XLR Handle Unit

The XLR-H2 Handle Unit allows connection of XLR microphones and enables high-quality audio capture within the Sony ecosystem. Supporting two XLR/TRS inputs, a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack and up to 96 kHz/32bit float recording with up to 4 channels of audio, it helps you capture cleaner sound without slowing down the shoot.
