},
{
"feature": "S-Cinetone for that expressive cinematic look\nFX3A allows users to easily create a cinematic look without post-production using S-Cinetone picture profile. Inspired by the color science of Sony VENICE camera, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to cinematic expression."
},
{
"feature": "Uninterrupted 4K 60p recording\nFX3A combines a fan for active cooling in addition to the unique camera-wide passive heat dissipation structure resulting in uninterrupted 4K 60p recording"
},
{
"feature": "Fast Hybrid AF in all modes\nThe FX3A inherits AF performance from Sony’s FX9 and FX6 Cinema Line cameras, incorporating the highly acclaimed Fast Hybrid AF for movie shooting in all modes, including 4K 120p."
},
{
"feature": "Created for content creators\nEvery aspect of this camera, from hardware such as controls, tally lamp, custom buttons, and a vari-angle LCD monitor, to software-based features such as touch-responsive menus and parameters, have been designed to give creators what they need in real-world applications."

"feature": "10-bit 4:2:2 HLG\nThe FX3 provides HLG high-dynamic-range picture profile that supports the wide-gamut BT.2020 color space for true-to-life imagery with detailed shadows and highlights, with no need for color grading."
},
{
"feature": "12.1MP JPEG, RAW and HEIF still image options up to 10fps with AF/AE\nEven though the FX3 is optimized for cinematography, it still has the capabilities to capture 12.1MP stills in JPEG, RAW and HEIF at up to 10fps with continuous autofocus and auto-exposure."
},
{
"feature": "Optimized for cinematic expression\nThe FX3 features a 10.2MP Full-frame Backside-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor that delivers sensitivity, speed and superior movie quality. The sensor delivers up to 15+ stops of dynamic range and drastically reduced noise for clean images."
},
{
"feature": "High-performance fast processing\nThe FX3 features the BIONZ XR system architecture, that makes it possible to deliver high sensitivity and natural gradations, low noise, as well as more precise AF plus the ability to process the large amounts of data required for 4K recording."
},
{
"feature": "Smallest Cinema Line camera for solo shooting\nAs the most compact model in the Cinema Line, the FX3 is not only the smallest and lightest. It weighs just 1.58 lbs. (715 g), including battery and memory cards, and the body is only 5.11” x 3.33” x 3.06” (129.7 x 84.5 x 77.8mm) WxHxD."
