Sony FX5 Camera Rental: Full Frame 5K, Open Gate and X-OCN RAW

The Sony FX5 features a 16.6 MP fully stacked Full Frame Exmor RS CMOS sensor, the BIONZ XR2 processor and a dedicated AI processing unit. The combination is aimed at shoots that need a compact camera with high capture capability, latitude for post-production and Cinema Line operability.

The camera offers recording up to 5K at 60 fps, 4K up to 120 fps and Full HD up to 240 fps. For the first time in the FX series, it enables Open Gate 3:2 recording via X-OCN, using the full active sensor area for anamorphic compositions or projects that need reframing flexibility.

The FX5 allows internal recording in X-OCN, Sony's 16-bit linear RAW format. Alongside X-OCN LT, it includes the X-OCN C1 and X-OCN C2 codecs, designed to reduce data volume and streamline file transfer and post-production.

Its three base ISOs — ISO 800, ISO 4000 and ISO 12800 — allow adaptation to different lighting conditions. The Dual Gain Shooting function is designed to achieve smoother gradations, extend latitude and reduce noise while preserving shadow detail.
