Can the camera record the pixel to pixel mode as ...
Can the camera record the pixel to pixel mode as seen with 4K 120, in other modes, such as 4K 24, 30, and 60? Thanks.
The Sony FX30 Digital Cinema Camera with XLR Handle Unit (B&H# SOFX30XLR) does offer Sony's Clear Image Zoom feature to electronically both crop in on and enhance the view if one wants to use significantly less than the full pixel width of the sensor. Otherwise, 4K video recording will be downsampled from 6K pixels except in 4K 120p mode.

I know this camera is more designed for video, but it also can take photos. What is the burst rate for photos? As in how many photos can it take per second? Considering upgrading to this from my a6400 for videography and potentially photography as well.
Again, as Yoni S mentioned, you will not be able to use an on-camera flash - the camera does not sync with it (fire it) when it is inserted into the hot shoe. But the camera takes very decent pictures in general, as long as you have decent lighting, beside for the burst question, which he explained at length.

Is there a focal reducer adapter for EF lenses ...
Is there a focal reducer adapter for EF lenses that will give the FX30 a full frame look? Does the autofocus work with this adapter? Thank you!
There are indeed some different makers of focal reducers for Canon EF mount lenses. Autofocus will not be as good as a native Sony E or FE mount lens being used with the system and there will be limitations.
