The ILME-FX30B is paired with an all-new, back-illuminated APS-C Exmor R™ CMOS sensor (Super 35mm format), delivering exceptional results with high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic latitude. The 6K oversampled image compresses a vast amount of information into 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) output, delivering 4K movies with overwhelming resolution. The image sensor maximizes light collection efficiency so that clear, usable images can be captured even in challenging low light. Standard ISO sensitivity is 100 to 32000, and latitude is an impressively wide 14+ stops when recording in S-Log3 gamma.

Capable of capturing 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally when using Long GOP or All Intra compression, the FX30 makes it possible to grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom. Additionally, the FX30 supports the XAVC HS format recording, using the MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 codec roughly doubles the compression efficiency. Compared to a normal 4K XAVC S format, XAVC HS format allows for detailed 10-bit video with 4:2:2 colour sampling at comparable or lower data rates.

The FX30 combines a fan for active cooling with a heat dissipating structure for passive cooling to efficiently cool the entire system and prevent heat buildup so that recording will not be interrupted by thermal shutdown. The cooling system effectively removes heat from the image sensor and image processing engine.

The S-Log3 gamma curve provided in the FX30 has been designed with an emphasis on smooth gradations that make it easier to achieve cinematic image quality when colour grading in post production. S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine not only offer high-quality color reproduction over a wide latitude, but also facilitate colour matching with footage from other Cinema Line cameras. To bring out the best in footage shot with the FX30, special care has been taken to adjust the camera’s output to ensure that the highest image quality can be easily achieved during post processing.
