All three cameras have the same maximum ISO in expanded mode, but the FX6 has a higher base ISO and dual native ISO technology with base ISO levels at ISO 12,800. It sounds as if the A7S III and FX3 might be using the same basic tech, but that the FX6 has more advanced dual-circuit noise control. 3. Color

The Sony FX3 Cinema camera brings the visions of passionate content creators to life. Cinematic expression is matched with reliable performance, streamlined operation and multiple pro video functions to serve the needs of today's creative community. Compact and lightweight, it's easy to carry and handle.

Image stabilization is an important feature to have for run-and-gun filmmakers who want smooth footage without the need for a gimbal. Going a step further than Active stabilization is Dynamic stabilization, which proved particularly effective with the 20-70mm lens at its wide angle setting, but jittery when zoomed in nearer to 70mm. In-body stabilization, even in the Dynamic mode, does not replace a gimbal, but with a steady hand and moderate movement, you should be happy enough.I tested the camera with Pete, a filmmaking colleague who uses the Sony FX3 and FX6 cinema cameras every day for video commissions, and we’ll share our experience and thoughts on the ZV-E1’s AI-powered features in depth in a separate article. Despite the high performance mentioned above, the DMC-FX3 achieves long battery life to shoot approx. 320 pictures (CIPA) on a single charge.

The BIONZ XR™ image-processing engine is designed for high speed, minimising latency while providing impressive real-time processing capabilities. The engine performs real-time processing of AF, image recognition and image quality adjustments, while also handling data transfer, user interface and other camera operations. i Sony internal tests.

Creators need more than just refined features and performance; they also need reliability and durability. The FX3 combines a fan for active cooling with effective heat dissipation resulting in uninterrupted 4K 60p recording without thermal shutdown. The newly developed fan provides high-efficiency cooling. Because it's designed for solo, run-and-gun filmmaking, the FX3 also has in-body image stabilization (IBIS) along with an electronic Active Mode, which gives you even stronger stabilization at the expense of a 10% crop. Camera-shake metadata is recorded by the built-in gyro, allowing handheld footage to be smoothed out and stabilized in post-production. Using Sony’s Catalyst Browse / Catalyst Prepare desktop application10 you can easily balance automated shake-compensation and image-trimming levels. Catalyst can also make effective use of recorded camera-rotation data. Front and rear tally lamps Panasonic has long led the industry with its incorporation of an optical image stabilization system - MEGA O.I.S. - into even its compact range of cameras. This system produces no deterioration of picture quality and has now become a standard feature for all digital cameras in the market. Now the new DMC-FX3 also benefits from a High Sensitivity mode * which allows shooting at a maximum sensitivity setting of ISO 1600*. This mode acts as another anti-blurring measure, in addition to the MEGA O.I.S. system, by suppressing image blur which can be caused by the movement of subjects, and especially benefits indoor photography of children and pets at fast shutter speeds.
