The new one Sony ILME FX6 It enters the scene as a reduced size version of the FX9. The camera gets its design and philosophy from the old FS5 II, concentrating great features in a compact and modular body that weighs less than a kilo. It comes equipped with a 10.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor and a Bionz XR processor (the same as the A7S III) that allows the processing power to be multiplied by four compared to its predecessor, the Sony FS5.

The camera has two base ISO settings and can provide up to 15 stops of dynamic range using S-Log3. It also incorporates the S-Cinetone color profile if we want to minimize the work in the post. A science of color and image style inherited from the Venice film camera.

If we talk about recording formats, the FX6 allows recording in 4K DCI / XAVC-I at 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24 frames per second, with All-I 4:2:2 and 10 Bit compression. In 4K resolutions the camera reaches up to 120 fps without AF, or up to 100 fps with AF. The figure increases up to 240 fps in Full HD. It also allows recording in XAVC-L format, with Long GOP 4:2:0 compression at 8 bits.

The automatic focus is another important point of the camera, which obtains the same technology from its older sister, the Sony FX9. This means 627 points with phase detection, face and eye recognition and Sony's already famous Real Time AF.

Variable neutral density (ND) filter ranging from 1/4 to 1/128, large number of configurable buttons, two XLR professional audio inputs on the top handle, 1 compatible 12G-SDI output capable of outputting 16-bit RAW and two card slots that support SD and CFexpress Type A cards interchangeably.v

Like its older brother, the FX6 lacks an in-sensor stabilizer, but incorporates a gyroscope that stores movement metadata and then stabilizes the post shot using Sony's free Catalyst Browse software.
