The Sony FX6 camera is a professional-grade cinema camera designed for high-quality filmmaking. Released in late 2020, the FX6 is a successor to Sony's popular FS5 camera and shares some features with the higher-end FX9 camera. With its compact design, full-frame sensor, and advanced autofocus system, the FX6 is an ideal camera for capturing cinematic footage in a variety of environments.

The Sony FX6 is built around a full-frame 10.2-megapixel sensor that is designed to capture high-quality video footage in a range of lighting conditions. The sensor features a dual base ISO of 800 and 12,800, which allows for clean footage in low-light settings without excessive noise or grain. The camera can record in both DCI 4K and UHD 4K at up to 120 frames per second, which makes it ideal for slow-motion footage. Additionally, the camera can record in 10-bit 4:2:2 color, which provides greater color accuracy and detail in post-production.

One of the standout features of the Sony FX6 is its advanced autofocus system. The camera uses a fast hybrid autofocus system that combines phase-detection and contrast-detection autofocus to deliver fast and accurate autofocus performance. The system can track subjects across the frame, and it can also be customized to prioritize certain subjects or focus areas. Additionally, the camera features Sony's Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking, which use advanced AI algorithms to detect and track eyes and faces in real-time.

The Sony FX6 also features a compact and modular design that is ideal for on-location shooting. The camera is built around a lightweight magnesium alloy body that is both durable and easy to handle. The camera features a modular design, which means that users can add or remove accessories as needed. The camera also features a built-in top handle that makes it easy to carry and maneuver, and it has a built-in ND filter system that allows for quick and easy exposure control.

Other notable features of the Sony FX6 include a built-in electronic variable ND filter, which allows for precise exposure control without the need
