The technical details behind this camera
Shoot remarkable, stunning moments with Sony PXW-FX9 XDCAM 6K Body Only Full Frame Video Camera.
The PXW-FX9 offers a full-frame, oversampled 6K Exmor R CMOS sensor that enables you to capture 4K images with cinematic depth of field.
The camera’s E-mount is machined from stainless steel and allows you to use E-mount lenses.
6K CMOS Exmor R Sensor
The PXW-FX9’s oversampled full-frame 6K sensor provides recording in DCI 4K, UHD, and HD resolutions.
Powerful image processing with debayering and down-sampling ensures image quality beyond the limits of conventional Super 35mm sensors.
The back-illuminated CMOS image sensor also uses Sony’s Exmor R technology for improved sensitivity and noise reduction.
Compared to a 4K Super 35mm sensor, the FX9’s 6K sensor has over twice the surface area while providing a wider angle of view and shallower depth of field.
15 Stops of Dynamic Range
The FX9 offers an exceptional 15+ stops of dynamic range, allowing for creative freedom in color grading and post.
Camera operators can concentrate on framing the scene they want while relying upon the FX9 to capture every nuance and detail using 4K 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording.
ISO Control
The FX9 features a base sensitivity of ISO 800, providing the optimal dynamic range for typical documentary applications such as shooting outside or in brightly lit interiors.
A secondary high base sensitivity of ISO 4000 excels in low-light conditions such as early morning and evening shoots while maintaining superb image quality and whenever you’re using slow lenses.
The FX9’s extended ISO range is 320 to 102,400.
Electronic ND Filter
Sony’s built-in electronic variable neutral density (ND) filter can be set to auto, or adjust filter density manually in smooth increments from 1/4 to 1/128 as you shoot, for perfectly exposed images without affecting depth of field as lighting conditions change.
Use higher-density settings with a slower shutter speed for artistic effects.
Recording Formats
Depending on the project, the FX9 has a selection of recording formats.
XAVC-I with 422 10-bit quality at a higher 600 Mb/s in 60p.
XAVC-Long for longer recording time in smaller file size.
The traditional MPEG HD codec is also available.
All files will be recorded onto XQD media cards.
Adjustable Frame Rates
Choose your desired frame rate from 1 up to 60 fps for quick- and slow-motion footage.
The FX9 creates an immersive image with a wide-angle look and shallower depth of field provided by its full-frame sensor in combination with quick and slow motion.
It also offers a quality priority setting that maximizes Full HD slow-motion image quality with advanced oversampling technology.
S-Cinetone Look
S-Cinetone is the default look of FX9 that’s tuned to meet the requirements of today’s content creators with rich mid-range colors, alluring facial tones, and a softer tonal look developed with the same expertise as Sony’s world-leading VENICE digital cinematography camera.
S-Cinetone means that straight out of the camera your content looks fresh and vivid, with subjects that really stand out while retaining plenty of latitude in post-production, thanks to the high-performance full-frame image sensor.
