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:
