Sony FX3 Mark II: Unchained Cinema
Engineered for the Solo Storyteller. Built for the Run-and-Gun Revolution.
The Sony FX3 Mark II is the ultimate evolution of the hybrid cinema camera. It takes the beloved form factor of the original FX3 and infuses it with the very latest imaging and AI technology from Sony's flagship Venice and Burano cameras. Designed for documentary filmmakers, indie creators, and event videographers who operate without a crew, the FX3 Mark II is more than a tool—it's your silent, unstoppable filmmaking partner.
The Heart of a CineAlta Camera
At its core, the FX3 Mark II features a newly developed 18-megapixel full-frame sensor, optimized for both supreme low-light sensitivity and stunning oversampled image quality. This sensor is paired with the latest BIONZ XR Cine processor and a dedicated AI co-processor, delivering a cinematic image that is rich in detail, color, and dynamic range.

Smarter. Faster. Unfailing Focus.
The AI Autofocus system is completely reimagined.

AF is now more intuitive, sticking to your subject with tenacious precision even when they are small, fast-moving, or partially obscured.
