Key Features
- 4K Full-Frame 10.2MP CMOS Exmor R Sensor
- DCI 4K60p | UHD 4K120 | 1080p240
- 15+ Stops of Dynamic Range in S-Log 3 EI
- Compact Form Weighs Just <2 lb
The FX6 Full-Frame Camera from Sony was developed to offer versatile, cine-style imaging in a truly compact form. With the ability to capture up to 15+ stops of dynamic range, Sony's S-Cinetone gamma for filmlike skin tones, and up to 10-bit, 4:2:2 XAVC-I recording, the FX6 is poised to both supplement your FX9 or VENICE capture and to nimbly take on documentary, gimbal, and drone shoots on its own. The FX6 camera combines a 4K full-frame Exmor R sensor with a BIONX XR engine for extremely sensitive capture in a range of settings using a base ISO of 800 as well as an ISO 12800 high-sensitivity mode for nuanced low-light scenes.

Is there an adapter that enlarges e mount lenses to cover the full frame sensor?
You can mount E lenses that are inherently full frame and get the full 4K performance or if using S35 coverage, you will be limited to HD format only.

Will the shoe on the handle work with the SMAD-P3D so I can use my URX-P03D dual channel receiver?
No the SMAD-P3D will not work with the FX6. When you slide the Multi-Interface Shoe adapter in the shoe mount on the handle, there will be a box that will pop up on the screen that says unsupported device detected.

Can the LCD Monitor be adjusted to a different location on the camcorder?
Yes, according to Sonyâยยs product page at https://www.sony.com/electronics/professional-video-cameras/ilme-fx6, which says, âยยThe 3.5-inch LCD screen allows precise manual focusing in challenging shooting conditions. Flexible positioning of both mounting locations and angles allows comfortable shooting to suit varied preferences and rigging.âยย One of the product images accessible from the âยยView Productâยย link at the top of that page also shows the LCD mounted to an alternate location near the rear of the camera body, without the top handle attached.

Any idea if there’s a way to record the same microphone on two different channels? Like having a ‘high’ and a ‘low’ in case there are unexpected peaks?
The recently-released manual states that each channel can be set to record either INPUT 1, INPUT 2 or INTERNAL MIC

Is REC trigger possible through TC in/out port? ...
Is REC trigger possible through TC in/out port?
Do I have to jam sync timecode everytime I power the camera?
I am looking to use this with Mixpre ii audio recorder.
The MixPre II gets triggered through it's HDMI input and the FX6 can be set up to send a record trigger from it's SDI and HDMI outputs (page 106 of the FX6 user manual), so yes it is possible, just not through the timecode BNC connector.
The camera retains timecode when off and I even removed the battery for 12 hours and it didn't lose much (haven't done a proper test yet, so can't say how many frames).
Be careful if you use S&Q because that will mess up your sync and you'll need to rejam when you go back into your base frequency. I also tried with a Tentacle connected and the FX6 rejammed itself to the Tentacle when I came out of S&Q, so keeping your MixPre connected should keep them in sync, but do test it to see how it behaves with your specific kit.

Proxy files can be written in 8-bit 4:2:0 XAVC-L 1080p at 8Mbps with either UHS-II or UHS-I SDXC cards.
