Questions about this gear
Does the Sony FX9 shoot 4K 120fps?
The FX9 can shoot 4K 120fps only when using an external recorder like the Atomos Shogun 7 paired with the optional XDCA-FX9 extension unit. Internally, it caps at 4K 60p.
What is the battery life of the Sony FX9?
Using a standard BP-U35 battery, the FX9 provides approximately 54 minutes of continuous recording. Using a larger BP-U70 battery extends this to roughly 120 minutes.
Is the Sony FX9 good for low light?
Yes, the FX9 features Dual Base ISO (800/4000). The 4000 ISO base allows for exceptionally clean footage in low-light environments without significant noise.
What mount does the Sony FX9 use?
It uses a locking Sony E-mount. This provides the versatility of E-mount lenses with the added security of a breech-lock system, preventing lens play when using heavy cinema zooms.
About the Sony FX9
The PXW-FX9 input and output features include 12G/6G-SDI and HDMI outputs for 4K video, a 3G-SDI output for HD, and genlock and timecode when using a multicamera setup. The Fast Hybrid AF autofocus system allows for accurate focus and even allows facial detection to automatically detect human form with 561 points of detection. Advanced image stabilization is achieved using the PXW-FX9's internal gyroscope for shots so smooth it'll look like you used a gimbal. Its 4-channel audio recording allows you to use external microphones and record ambient sound with the internal mics simultaneously.
The camera features a 15-stop dynamic range, supports dynamic HDR, hybrid log gamma mode (HLG), and records 10-bit 4:2:2 to dual XQD media card slots that support simultaneous and relay recording, as well as multiple backup recording modes that utilize proxy files. The camera can record UHD (3840 x 2160) and HD (1920 x 1080) internally at a selectable frame rate from 1 fps up to 60 fps in XAVC-I, XAVC-Long, and MPEG HD formats. Its 7-stop electronic variable ND filter can perform in auto or manual mode, smoothly adjusting from 1/4 to 1/128 density. The camera's default S-Cinetone color look offers the same soft, vivid tone as with Sony's VENICE camera.
In addition to its wide dynamic range, its enhanced color and light features include a dual base ISO of 800/4000 with a maximum ISO up to 102,400, which is helpful when in low-light situations or using a slower lens. Other improvements with the latest firmware include improved white balancing in sunlight with a more natural look, user-created 3D LUTs, improved AF, audio improvements, USB tethering, T-value metadata, password enhancements, and an S35 2K imager scan mode.
The FX9 includes an integrated Multi-Interface (MI) shoe and comes with a BP-U35 battery, BC-U1A battery charger, AC adapter with power cord, body cap, viewfinder, eyepiece, remote control, and USB cable. The PXW-FX9 is also compatible with the separately available XDCA-FX9 extension unit, which provides ENG shoulder-style support, networking features, and a slot for an optional wireless audio receiver.
