And for those looking to get the maximum dynamic range out of the camera, SLog3 cine is the prefered choice of gamut. In addition, much like the Sony a7s III, the new FX6 uses dual memory card slots for either CFExpress Type A, or fast UHS-II v60 and V90 SD Cards.
The compact camera body and removable top handle make it ideal for use on gimbal stabilizers on a huge range of productions from music videos, to corporate work and documentaries.
