Advanced AF Performance:

The ILME-FX30 offers highly reliable and accurate autofocus performance with wide-area tracking across the entire frame. With real-time eye AF that follows the face and eyes (for people and animals), the subject stays in focus. Focus is maintained precisely and consistently over a wide range, even at shallow depth of field or when tracking fast-moving subjects with real-time tracking. Stable AF and flexible focusing are available for a variety of shooting situations. AF Assist, Focus Map, and Breathing Compensation are great assist features.

Compact and cage-less design:

The new ILME-FX30 has a compact and lightweight shape designed for portability and efficiency. The body has five threaded holes for accessories, eliminating the need for a cage for optimal flexibility, stability and comfort. Built-in stabilization keeps the entire setup highly mobile and can be used in difficult shooting situations without a gimbal.

Flexible operability for film production:

Quickly access your favorite elements with the new main menu. Focus on composition and framing with the optimized standby mode for movie shooting. Shooting lights and highlighted shooting indicators provide clear confirmation of the shot in progress. Flexible, high-resolution touchscreen LCD monitor allows wide positioning and compositional freedom for gimbal shooting. Zoom lever controls compatible motorized zoom lenses and enables use of Clear Image Zoom with non-motorized zoom and fixed focal lengths with excellent image quality. Auto and manual modes for aperture, shutter speed and ISO can be set independently for flexible exposure modes. Vertical side markers to check image framing in horizontal orientation.

Highly Expandable:

With an optional XLR microphone and XLR handle, digital audio can be transmitted directly to the camera for superior audio quality with a very clean audio signal. Other connections include USB Type-C®, multi/micro USB, microphone, headphones, and a Multi Interface Shoe with built-in digital audio interface. All of these connectivity options provide broad expandability for a variety of recording needs. The ILME-FX30 also supports UVC (USB Video Class) and UAC (USB Audio Class) standards, and can be connected to a compatible device via USB to serve as a high-performance webcam.

The Best Experience with Sony Lenses:

Thanks to its Super 35 sensor, the ILME-FX30 can be paired with a comprehensive selection of Sony E-mount lenses to create a new world of stunning and cinematic expression with breathtaking sharpness and bokeh for content creation. Only native Sony Lenses allow you to exploit 100% of the camera's performance and set no limits to your creativity.

Fast APS-C standard zoom at F2.8
Sony's first 16-55mm (equivalent to 24-82.5mm full frame) APS-C zoom lens with a constant F2.8 aperture is very compact and offers performance that matches the G-series. A new optical design enables high resolution from the center of the frame to the edges and great bokeh effects. It is compact, lightweight and versatile.

High resolution throughout the zoom range, even at F2.8
Two AA and two aspherical elements correct aberrations for high resolution from center to edge. Three ED glass elements minimize bleeding. Sony AR Nano Coating provides high resistance to ghosting and light effects for sharp contrast. Precise control of spherical aberration and a nine-blade circular aperture create smooth bokeh.

Compact, lightweight, and clear
Optimized mechanical and optical design makes the weight of the compact 16-55mm zoom lens (equivalent to 24-82.5mm full-frame) with constant F2.8 aperture just 494 grams. Combined with a compact E-mount body, this lens forms a portable, handy system for a wide range of applications - from portraits to everyday snapshots.

XD Linear Motor- fast autofocus, precise tracking
This APS-C lens uses the same type of XD Linear Motor that maximizes focus performance in the G-Master series. Harnessing the potential of the camera body, the XD linear motor enables focusing and tracking of even fast-moving subjects with impressive speed and precision. Quiet operation allows filmmakers to take advantage of the constant F2.8 aperture.

Professional Control and Reliability
A customizable focus hold button, AF/MF switch, and MF with linear response provide versatile control and high precision even in challenging conditions. To protect against water and dirt, the front lens element has a fluorine coating. The Lens is dust and splash resistant2, making it ideal for outdoor shooting.
