5K full-frame fully-stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS

The full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor enables fast readout for high-resolution, high-frame-rate recording. Wide latitude and low noise ensure smooth gradation and natural textures, even in high-contrast scenes.

Open Gate and other image scan modes

The FX5 offers full-frame Open Gate recording — a first in the Cinema Line FX series. With 5K up to 60 fps (FF 3:2), 5k upto 120 (16:9) fps, 4K up to 240 fps* (FF crop) and more, it gives you the freedom to adjust framing, speed and workflow to realise even the most ambitious vision.

*Future Firmware release required for 240fps 4k Recording. Not available on launch

Three Base ISO settings for effective noise control in any environment

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

Internal X-OCN compressed RAW video 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.

High-quality 96 kHz/32bit float audio recording

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

Dual Gain Shooting debuts 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.
