Sony Korea officially launched the FX5 full-frame cinema line camera in South Korea on Friday the 30th. With this release, Sony aims to further solidify its leadership in the full-frame mirrorless market, where it has held the number one position for 13 consecutive years.

The FX5 is equipped with a stacked 5K full-frame Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor, providing more than 15 stops of dynamic range and dual gain shooting modes. It supports in-camera recording of the 16-bit RAW format X-OCN, allowing for high-quality video capture without the need for an external recorder. The camera supports various frame rates, including 5K 60fps, 4K 120fps, and FHD 240fps, making it highly versatile for sports, documentary, and cinematic productions.

Featuring a compact body and 5-axis optical image stabilization, the FX5 is advantageous for handheld shooting and gimbal operation. It is provided alongside dedicated accessories such as the 0.58-type OLED viewfinder DVF-EL1, the XLR-H2 XLR handle unit, and the VMC-BNCU1 timecode adapter. A representative from Sony Korea explained, "The FX5 is a camera for a wide range of video creators, from professional filmmakers to vlog creators," adding that "open gate shooting and X-OCN in-camera recording functions will open new possibilities for small-scale shooters."

The FX5 provides accurate AF and stable white balance even in dark environments through AI-based subject recognition and real-time tracking. Furthermore, when combined with the XLR-H2, which enables 96kHz/32-bit float audio recording, high-quality sound can be secured simultaneously. These specifications are expected to meet the demand for high-specification shooting in the future Korean video content market.
