Introduction

Sony FX 6

Introduction

This guide summarizes key information on the Sony FX 6 in one resource.

The guide is not written for the absolute beginner but it does explain some

fundamental concepts common to all video cameras.

It is ideal for the somewhat experienced person who wants to quickly

familiarize themselves with the camera.

I suggest the Sony Z90 and FS5 cameras in the EV Depot for beginners.

Additional resources are referenced at the end of the guide.

Introduction

The FX 6 is a full frame sensor Sony “cinema” camera.

The image quality is fantastic and the camera can serve as a good introduction

to the world of digital cinematography.

If you have never used a digital cinema camera that can import LUTs, read the

section on Cine EI shooting mode carefully.

The method of exposure using a LUT described in this section, is similar to how

many digital cinema cameras expose using LUTs, regardless of their

manufacturer.

Important Features: Shooting Modes and Dual Sensitivity

Shooting Modes:

There are two shooting modes: Custom and Cine EI. If you want to shoot in

Slog 3 then you must shoot in Cine EI mode. This is common to all Sony

cinema cameras. In this guide, the Custom shooting mode is presented

first, as it is the easiest choice.

ISO:

This is a dual sensitivity camera, meaning that the sensor is optimized for

two different ISO settings called base sensitivity: Low and High. The low

and high ISO ratings change according to the shooting mode. See next

page.

Important Features: Dual Sensitivity ISO

Base Sensitivity Settings (higher numbers mean more sensitive to light):

Low:

Custom (709) Low: 320 ISO

Cine EI Low: 800 ISO

High:

Custom (709) High: 5000 ISO

Cine EI High: 12800 ISO

The Base Sensitivity (ISO) settings change according to the shooting mode.

See the sections on Shooting Modes and Exposure.

APR warning

When you first power up the camera, it may ask you to “execute APR”.

This is the automatic pixel restoration feature that minimizes noise in

the LCD when lighting conditions change.

Put the lens cap on and press OK. It only takes 5 seconds.

If you cancel this option, do it next time. It should be performed on a

regular basis.

Power and Batteries

Power button on side of camera.

AC power on the back right side of camera (bottom

connector).

Smaller battery (BP-U35): 150 minutes

Larger battery: (BP-U100): 400 minutes

Shooting high frame rates will diminish the battery

time.

The batteries take several hours to charge. Charge

them overnight.
