3 Things You Didn't Know About the Sony FX9

Created in partnership with No Film School. The Sony FX9 is a full-frame cinema camera that packs a 6K punch. The Sony FS7 camera and its sequel the FS7 II were mega-hits among filmmakers. Both are amazing cameras for shooting an independent feature, a documentary, broadcast content, or web series—they did it all. When it came time for the next-gen, Sony had big shoes to fill and did so with the FX9. Building on years of experience, Sony added a 6K full-frame sensor to the FX9, which creates oversampled 4K images that are cleaner with fewer artifacts. Building on the color science of the popular Sony VENICE, they were able to evolve the color profile straight from the camera to make it more pleasing, more flexible, and to intercut seamlessly among the Sony Cinema Line. The marquee feature that created a tremendous amount of buzz was the autofocus. Now with a recent update in firmware, performance has gotten even better. The autofocus system on the FX9 was the first system that got filmmakers excited about capturing tack sharp video. Even with all the talk about the FX9's capabilities, here are a few details that you might have missed.
