Sony FX30B Cinema Line Super 35 Mirrorless Camera (Body Only)
The Sony FX30B Cinema Line Camera (Body Only) serves as the ultimate entry point into Sony’s prestigious Cinema Line for independent filmmakers, content creators, and videographers. Offered in the “B” configuration—which delivers the exact same high-end camera body without the XLR top handle unit —this compact setup is highly optimized for creators who build custom camera cages, operate extensively on gimbals, or use third-party audio systems. Combining a powerful 26MP back-illuminated Super 35mm / APS-C sensor with professional log shooting modes and dual-base ISO architectures, the FX30B brings authentic cinema-grade imagery and workflow efficiency into an incredibly portable, accessible form factor.
Core Specifications and Key Features
26.1MP Back-Illuminated Super 35 / APS-C CMOS Sensor
At the core of the camera is a 26.1-megapixel back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor in the versatile Super 35mm format. This sensor delivers an expansive 14+ stops of dynamic range, handling deep highlights and rich shadows effortlessly. The Super 35 frame size provides an authentic cinematic aesthetic with outstanding clarity, reduced rolling shutter artifacts, and natural deep-focus characteristics favored by film directors worldwide.
Dual Base ISO and BIONZ XR Processing Engine
Driven by the flagship BIONZ XR image processing engine , the FX30B introduces professional dual-base ISO architecture to minimize image noise under unpredictable ambient lighting.
- Dual Base ISO 800 / 2500: Allows operators to jump cleanly between low-noise daylight settings and an ultra-sensitive low-light base without compromising dynamic range or image sharpness.
- High Sensitivity: Expands up to an impressive maximum ISO of 32000, allowing operators to capture clean, low-noise footage in pitch-black environments.
Cinema-Grade 4K Video and Advanced Log Workflows
- 6K Oversampled 4K Video: Captures high-fidelity 4K video by oversampling from the entire 6K sensor area, generating razor-sharp UHD 4K files up to 60p with zero pixel binning.
- 4K 120p High Frame Rate: Supports high-speed recording up to 4K at 120 frames per second (with a minor 1.6x crop) to deliver fluid, ultra-smooth cinematic slow-motion sequences.
- Professional Cine Profiles: Features S-Cinetone for organic, soft skin tones straight out of the camera. It also supports flexible log pipelines via S-Log3 , alongside custom user-imported 3D LUTs that can be burned directly into the footage or assigned as monitor previews.
Real-Time Tracking and Fast Hybrid Autofocus
Leveraging Sony’s industry-leading autofocus technology, the camera provides bulletproof tracking across 495 focal-plane phase-detection points covering roughly 93% of the image frame.
- Real-Time Eye AF: Locks focus instantly onto the eyes of humans, animals, or birds.
- Focus Breathing Compensation: Digitally counteracts minor framing shifts when pulling focus between the foreground and background when paired with compatible Sony E-mount lenses.
Cage-Free Body Design with 5-Axis In-Body Stabilization
The FX30B features a rugged, compact magnesium alloy body with five built-in 1/4-20 UNC threaded accessory mounts . This allows operators to bolt microphones, monitors, and wireless video transmitters directly to the body without the added bulk or weight of a full camera cage.
For handheld setups, 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) paired with digital Active Mode stabilization smooths out heavy hand tremors, while an active internal cooling fan and heat-dissipating structure ensure unlimited, uninterrupted recording times without overheating.
