The Sony PXW-FX9 is a robust full-frame cinema camera, building on the legacy of the FS7. It boasts a 6K Exmor R sensor oversampled for pristine 4K imagery, 15+ stops of dynamic range, and dual base ISO (800/4000) for exceptional low-light performance. Its S-Cinetone colour science, fast hybrid autofocus, and integrated electronic variable ND filter make it a versatile tool for high-end documentary, corporate, and narrative filmmaking.

Maximising Image Quality & Depth
Leverage the 6K full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor to produce exceptionally sharp and detailed 4K footage via oversampling. This larger sensor provides a wider field of view and shallower depth of field, contributing to a more cinematic aesthetic.

Adaptive Low-Light Performance
Utilise the dual base ISO settings of 800 and 4000 (in Cine EI mode). ISO 800 is ideal for standard conditions, while ISO 4000 significantly boosts low-light performance without substantial noise, perfect for challenging environments or when using slower lenses.

Phenomenal Dynamic Range & Colour
Capitalise on the 15+ stops of dynamic range for remarkable detail retention in extreme highlights and deep shadows. For beautiful, natural skin tones and a film-like look directly from the camera, use Sony’s S-Cinetone colour science. For maximum grading potential, switch to S-Log3.

Precision Autofocus Control
Rely on the Fast Hybrid AF system with 561 phase-detection points for continuous tracking of fast-moving subjects. Use Real-time Eye AF and Face Detection for critical focus on human subjects, and fine-tune focus behaviour using the customisable AF transition speeds and subject shift sensitivity.

Seamless Exposure with Variable ND
Make full use of the built-in electronic variable ND filter, which offers seamless and continuous exposure adjustment from 1/4 to 1/128 density. This eliminates the need for physical ND filters, saving time and allowing precise depth-of-field control even in bright conditions.

Professional Recording Workflow
Record internally in 10-bit 4:2:2 XAVC-I (All-Intra) and XAVC-L (Long GOP) to dual XQD card slots for high image quality. For the highest level of creative control in post, consider outputting 16-bit RAW data via the optional XDCA-FX9 extension unit to an external recorder. Its form factor is ideal for single-operator and shoulder-mounted shooting.
