The Sony PXW-FX9 XDCAM is a 6K full-frame camera designed for versatile cinematography and high-quality production. With its oversampled 6K Exmor R CMOS sensor, the FX9 delivers DCI 4K, UHD 4K, and HD resolutions, offering a wider angle of view, shallower depth of field, and cinematic image quality—perfect for documentaries, corporate productions, events, and reality TV.
At the heart of the FX9 is the 15-stop dynamic range, allowing for exceptional detail retention in both bright highlights and deep shadows. The camera’s dual base ISO of 800 and 4000 offers outstanding low-light performance, with an extended ISO range up to 102,400, ensuring superb image quality in virtually any lighting condition. The electronic variable ND filter provides seamless exposure adjustments without altering your depth of field, while the Fast Hybrid AF system with 561 autofocus points ensures razor-sharp focus even on fast-moving subjects.
The FX9 offers flexible recording formats including 10-bit 4:2:2 XAVC-I for high-quality footage, with a maximum data rate of 600 Mb/s. It also supports simultaneous recording to dual XQD cards, ensuring reliability for long shoots. For slow-motion applications, the camera can record HD up to 180 fps and 4K up to 60p, delivering smooth, high-frame-rate footage.
Enhanced by the S-Cinetone color profile—a look derived from the Sony VENICE—the FX9 delivers rich, natural skin tones and vibrant colors right out of the camera. With advanced image stabilization, 4-channel audio recording, and extensive I/O options, the FX9 is a powerful, flexible tool for any production environment.
