The FX6 is designed for professional post‑production, theatrical and platform delivery as well as broadcast and live streaming.

On‑Set Advantages of the FX6

Sony FX6 is built for speed and ease of use. Its compact design, dedicated dials for ISO/GAIN, shutter and ND, and touch screen allow fast adjustments on dynamic shoots. The top handle and remote handgrip make it comfortable in handheld, shoulder, gimbal and special‑rig configurations.

It is ideal for productions moving quickly between interiors and exteriors, and it is fully compatible with a wide range of cinema lenses and accessories from our lenses rental and film & TV equipment hire sections. The electronic variable ND greatly simplifies exposure control in locations with constantly changing light.

Monitoring tools (waveform, histogram, audio meters, zebra) and face/eye‑detection AF reduce exposure and focus risks in small‑crew or handheld situations.

SDI/HDMI, TC IN/OUT and remote control allow the FX6 to be integrated into broadcast, multi‑camera and streaming environments, both as a main and complementary camera.
