#Sony #FX3 #Cinema - Фільми й анімація
When I spoke to Sony about shutter angle they told me it is on the top priority on their list so take that with a grain of salt.
Sorry just want some clarity here, it IS or IS NOT a priority?
That’s seriously my top-requested feature at this point. Until they give us Shutter Angle, this isn’t a “cinema” camera. You hear that, Sony?? 😉
@@CamTalksTech do u see it as a bullet point update???
Why is shutter such a big deal , it looks exactly the same as speed , and speed is easier to work out "no flicker " settings .Whats missing is variable shutter , angle /speed makes zero difference , variable shutter makes a big difference .
@@InfamousStar1 More like you're not a cinema creator 🙄
Anamorphic desqueeze!!!!!!! I forgot to tell them I wanted that on all their video centered and hybrid cameras during our feedback sessions at camera camp. I’m so glad they were already working on that. Now we need shutter angle lol
The FX3 has no shutter angle? Thats crazy and they call that a cinema camera.
but why half a job! 1.3x & x2 only 🤷♂️ where’s 1.5x?
@@jaswingrove Agreed! Just give us a configurable desqueeze option, since there are a tonne of other squeeze factors out there (1.6, 1.8 to name a couple).
@@jaswingrove 1.5 is literally made for this sensor and they just went NAH 😂 who’s putting a 2x on an FX3?!
No excuses not to update the a7 SIII. It’s now proven that they can do breathing compensation with that sensor.
Guess there will be no A7SIV in the future. It will be divided to 2 product line. --- ZVE2 & FX4
@@weiway2455 y
Just because it can do it, doesn't mean it's supposed to get it. They're two different products for different markets. A cinema camera doesn't have to have the same features as a hybrid camera.
Sony is such a scam, as a sIII User i feel so betrayed since the let the SIII to die
@@meyerdigitalfilm How did they let it die? It still works for you, right?

Thanks you.
That's the kind of detail that brings a B video to an A content 😏
Nice video thank you! I LOVE my FX3, had it since launch and an amazing camera which keeps on getting better and better!
Thank you for detailing what’s in the firmware update!
Thank you Armando for an honest review of this new update. I liked how brutally sincere you were. Bravo! I can't wait to update my FX3 and my FX30. Cheers to your success my brother!
Significant update. Well presented. Thank you.
Love it! And totally agree: need these updates for my fleet if A7SIII’s and A1
Fr why does the a1 not have it yet
bro they dont remember about a7s iii.. come on its so stupid :/
@@puertadlm163 The fact that A1, their flagship, has had non of these updates is so frustrating!!!
As always brother great video. Congrats on 500k 🥂🎥
This is a very significant firmware update. Definitely makes the FX3 even more desirable.
And the A7S3 comparitively pointless.
Just bought the fx3 a few weeks ago so this is super cool. Thanks!
I've been thinking to tell you the last months...It is so great that you made the decision to transition from only tech to the video / photo creators niche. This niche need people like you Armando. Great video!
Thank you for the kind words bro, keep crushing it my dude. 👊🏽
I like your example for Focus Breathing Compensation. I have a better understanding. Now I'm curious about all my lenses. Cool Video!
I am extremely pleased with how FX30 is improving with each firmware. It is becoming my most used video camera.
Awesome video Mondo!
If they added shutter angle, that would be so awesome.
I have this feature on SL2-S! So nice.
@@adamjoeyork so happy for you🙄
@@MrVh78 shutter angle … waste time feature . anamorphic 1.5 please.....
@@eastcoastsailingcenter7768 seriosly
Thanks, Armando!
I hope we get more desqueeze options other than 1.3x and 2.0x, such as 1.5x, 1.6x and 1.8x
Is the A7S3 updates forgotten about? 😢
Yes sony let us SIII user left to die
hope they didn't forget, maybe just fixing FX cameras first, then a7Siii
@@mirrorlessny Keep waiting lol
@@multiversescriptutes8400 I have faith :0) you never know, Sony been making big useful updates recently so it's possible - maybe with some delay for older bodies
Oh come on now. The A7sIII is significantly less expensive than the A7sIII. You cannot expect it to get everything the FX3 has. It's in a different product line.
Just buy an FX3 if you want the features it has.
Congrats 500k subs! :D
Excellent video
Great upgrade!!! DCI 4k and focus breathing compensation are completely amazing additions!!!
Love the update!
glade they finally did this. Would love to see some updates on the a7siii. See you this weekend!
So basically we now have sony crop 1800$ camera (fx30) that is getting better than a7siii, 3500$ ff camera. Well done Sony. I really don't understand why a7siii is forgotten when it comes to updates. 9 years ago I had 24p, DCI 4K and other stuff on GH4. Now with phase detect AF finally on Panasonic I'm tempted to go back. Panasonic was always giving everything they had, such a great company.
While I applaude Armando's video he is not being accurate. Sony is definitley NOT listening to Sony a7s iii users. There has been no significant update in 2 years. S - cinetone is not major. If I would have known that Sony was going to leave the A1 and the A7s iii in the dust, while upgrading less expensive or similar cameras, I would not have bought into the Sony ecosystem. Canon, Nikon and Pansonic update flagship cameras faster and more reliably than Sony is attempting NOT to do with the a7s iii.
@@number1chiefROKKA yes and no excuses that fx series cameras are 'cinema' and a7siii is 'hybrid'. a7siii is absolutely video centric camera and should be updated with all video centric features that are being added to fx series.
I could cry for selling my Lumix S5 one year ago just to get an a7 s iii.
Panasonic is so underrated.
@@MarkoPejovic a7siii is literally fx3 with viewfinder instead if handle lol
@Donbros No. It lacks a fan, and can overheat. So, not for professional videographers.
Great video 👍🏼
Amazing! Hopefully they bring desqueeze also to the FX6!!!
Is it Christmas morning or what?? Love it and love your videos Armando!
I'll be one of those. Sony If you're watching this video and reading the comments, PLEASE A7SIII NEEDS THESE THINGS !!!!
Not happening 🤣
@@MrVh78 😆 it better, I just build a rig I'm really happy with!
@@MichalOlender I feel ya man, but I think these are more cinemaline features that probably wont sneak into S3 apart from maybe breathing comp
@@MrVh78 you might be right. I think I've already accepted the fact that I'll want to get and FX6 or so at some point, for those international ND filters mostly 😅
But anamorphic desqueeze and focus breathing would be so good on a7sIII. What do you shoot on?
@@MichalOlender FX3 for most, and RED/Arri rented if required
FX3 & FX30 users EATING. A7SIII & A1 users STARVING
Great job, great cinema camera
Hey Armando! Nice video!
My rule of thumb is:
If the firmware fixes bugs or a bad interface, we should expect that. Not all companies do this (or do it well), so we should appreciate it, but really it’s a base expectation. The device isn’t functioning as advertised, so they fix it.
When an update adds features, we should be really happy because we are getting more than we paid for. It makes me happy when the manufacture expands the functionality of the device I purchased.
Of course, when a manufacturer promises features in a future update, we should expect that update those features-the company is only doing what it promised to do. Then there is the question of crippling a camera to differentiate product tiers. I understand the thinking behind this, but it’s kind of bullshit if the capability is there but crippled by the software. (I don’t think that’s necessarily the case with the FX3. I think the software development was lagging and Sony released the camera when it was good enough.)
real cinema camera, great Armando!!
Now we just need the same updates to the A7sIII.... come on sony
thank you for mentioneing about the a7s iii needing updates
Some solid updates, especially the breathing compensation, but really wish they added shutter angle. Feels like something that should just have been there from the start
Right, I got the a7Siii and I’d love to see at least these features. Great video though.
Open gate would be incredible. Maybe have to wait til the FX3m2 for that?
They could do it now, with 60p as fastest frame rate.
@@YouTruther yes but they like to hold out features
100% agree. After all, the Panasonic S5mk II already has all these things, DCI, waveform, shutter angle, spot metering, (No false color), but you can get a false color LUT that works really well for viewing Log footage.
All these features makes getting correct exposure on Panasonic really a dream.
Why has Sony not incorporated these things? Panasonic has been offering them standard for years.
A7S3 and A1 users are left behind once again...
Too bad Sony doesn't care about the A7siii. I have two of them. 😔 😟 🙁 😥
It’s kind of infuriating considering they’re the same camera.
@@JensMowatt Thats a myth. I have shot both Fx3 is a tad softer/filmic A7S3 is sharper/photolike
@@MrVh78 i've not heard that from anyone.
@@adamdrakestudio I shoot a lot and I can tell very easily
@@MrVh78 k
Thank you! Big question for the desqueeze, can we set a 2.39 aspect ratio and have it take up us much of the screen as possible… I’m not trying to view a 3.6:1 aspect ratio on screen.
Fun to see Sony playing catch-up to the S5II 😁 At 4:20, did you reframe or does the desqueeze crop for some reason? It punched in from the original unsqueezed image. Slate metadata definitely is nice; it's one of the things I love most about using the BMD Video Assist.
I could have moved it, I’ll have to double check. Agreed, the S5II is a killer camera especially for its price.
Didn’t know that S5ii is a Netflix approved camera and that it has no crop 4K 60 and 4K 120. Oops. Not even 120 fps
@@leow5632 LOL triggered much? Every feature added other than focus breathing comp is and has been in the S5II and many other LUMIX cameras since launch. I’m mostly poking fun because I can (for a change). There are of course several other LUMIX cameras that are Netflix approved, both in full frame and MFT. I have NOTHING against Sony. They make excellent cameras. It’s just fun to get to poke a little bit.
Great update and very well presented. But too late for me. I own a1 and fx3 and I am deeply dissapointed about Sony’s update sttrategy. Too late, too little, and in the case of a1: nada. Will not invest in Sony anymore, moving back to Pana.
Hey man, another great video...
I already own a BMPCC4k, but was considering a camera with good AF for a little more fast-turnaround work..
Would you go FX30 or S5II? (FX3 is a little beyond my range right now...)
Cheers!
Armando, do you know how to upload luts in PPlut1(2,3,4) or another way to use Slog3? PP7 PP8 and PP9 are gone. Thanks for the update on V3.0!
Checked off a lot of things here! But man, all I really want is shutter angle.
I greed on Sony releasing updates that feels like should have been done a year ago. But surely welcome what’s encompassed in this update. Time will tell if we get a camera that matches closer the FX higher tier. I Will be testing the DCI against FX6 and see if it’s closer than before regarding color and picture profiles. Thanks for the great info as always!
Hi Armando! Thank you for your help!
Did you know with cine EI you can not longer record 4k externally? Do you happen to know why?
Nice one Armando, I'm curious though, what's that module on your ninja-v and where did you get that right angle hdmi. Thanks
great video, but why did you just film something quick with the fx3 to show the 48fps?
Awesome ! I agree with your conclusion, I have a GH6 and would love to have have the software features it has on my FX30, I do love the DCI 4K finally but the shutter angle feature HAS to be in the camera, it’s crazy, also Armando could you explain how are you going to be able to update the camera after the latest firmware? I have the 2.0 on my FX30 already and I know there’s no new one but when there is, is the creators app gonna let me know and let me update from there or how is the process going to work ? Thanks and great video as always buddy !
Dude I freaking love the realness at the end. Sony reminds me of Homer Simpson creates a problem and becomes it’s own hero when they fix the problem they created. 😂
I wish you success
Cool. Will there also be an option for remotely controlling the focus via app like it is possible in RED cameras?
...I'm VERY glad you got to speak on some of these issues with the Sony Reps, but I would LOVE to know: Did Sony acknowedge the need for them to update the A1, nevermind the A7SIII when you spoke to them? You can't declare 'flagship' cameras and not update them as such... I'm an A1 owner who has stuck with Sony since the 'OG' A7 and all it's issues lol! 😳🤦😀😅
Okay! Time to update my FX3's firmware to 3.0!
Exciting times to own an FX3!
Great update overview!
To your last point, I do believe these updates are a thing that should be celebrated given the fact that Sony is a HUGE company who doesn't HAVE to listen to its customers.
When we bought our cameras we knew that they didn't come with certain aspects however, we still made that choice to buy. Since this is the case, our expectations should be in line with what was advertised.
If we bought the camera and Sony said "future updates will include x" and that didn't happen, then we could argue that they aren't doing what they should do.
Thanks for posting this great video! Keep up the great work! 👍🏾
FX6 & FX3 are GOATs of the Camera world
When I bought my FX3 (also 2 years ago) everyone asked me why I didn’t just get an A7siii. I’d like to say I had a feeling something like this would happen but the reality was Im a DP so I got the more video focused camera. Glad that I clearly made the right choice
Thanks for this video! As a A7siii owner, I feel played. Should have upgraded to the fx3 i guess….
Panasonic had shutter angle, DCI 4K, and 24.00 FPS all the way back in late 2017 with their GH5, and while I feel that Sony's FX3/30 firmware update is a step in the right direction, it is too little too late and the only reasons I'm still considering FX30 include autofocus performance, lens size, weight, and power zoom lenses
I miss my S1H. Getting a great image and colorgrading vlog was superior to my fx6. Will be switching back to panasonic with s1h ii
Huge. Hopefully the FX6 can get anamorphic desqueeze as well now, as it’s the only camera from FX3 to VENICE 2 without native desqueeze
This is a nice video
4k DCI QUESTION: After installing the update the DCI is the exact same field of view as the UHD with the top and bottom cropped off. Is the DCI a one to one read of the sensor or sampled down like the UHD?
Also the filename looks so out of place always over the image when everything else is in the black bars.
I remember you mentioned in one of your videos you ended-up returning FX6 in favor of getting additional FX3 as “it was not your type of gear”. I am interested in knowing how you decided to get an FX6 after all and how often are you using it in your productions.
You also told me you are going to make a video about your up-to-date FX3 rig a few months ago, I am still waiting. 😂
Is DCI 4k cropped like with the Fx6?!? I can’t find any info on this
Wow! Super stoked, but a little hesitant because I have two intense shoots this week.
I would wait...
When you format with the new firmware, will the roll number automatically advance? Or do you have to manually change it every time?
@armando, what grip/power bank is on your camera? I have a feeling is the think I might be looking for a long time? Thanks
Nice video mate, but native iso still 800 and 12800 ?
The de-squeeze is just for preview the image or you can recording with the footage all ready de-squeezed without doing anything in postproduction???
Would you ever do a comparison between the fx3 and the S5IIX in filming an actual scene? I know they're at different tiers- but I'd be curious to see how close the X could get in matching the fx3.
Great video and thanks for sharing. I am updating mine and good luck to me
Super good videos, dude!!! I just upgraded my FX-30 and found that Monitor+ no longer works, have you noticed that with your camera as well?
me too so sad
in blutooth and wifi right ?
Good news. What is your external monitor and nato rail grip on FX3 in video?
Since you were able to get early access, perhaps you can inquire about the A1 firmware update?
YES to Shutter Angle and False Color would make this camera a beast! But I'm thankful for them to give us 24 fps and 1/48 Shutter! 🖤 THANK YOU, Sony!
The update is nice and all, but more important: I want to know more about that Iron Man helmet :D
More for a7SIII and a1, please.
Recently Canon R5C got some updates and was netflix approved. Can you compare the new R5C and the new FX3?
Focus breathing comp is what i extremely want for a7siii. Anamorphic desqueeze would be also cool since I woul not need to buy monitor seperately
only works with gmaster lenses, not your tamron/sigma
Hey - what are you looking for at 70+ zebras? Highs in skin when ETTRing?
Hoping to get an update for the A1…
Using the Siuri Anamorphic lense is nativ 1.6. In the Sony there is only 1.3 and 2.0 de-squeeze. So it wont work, right? I only work since you using a 2.0 adapter.
Been sitting on the fence for either the A7SIII or FX3 but would probably go for the panny S5m2 for tools missing. The 16bit color depth is one I love from Sony. Canon has only 12bit and Panasonic I believe 10bit. Coming from MAGIC LANTERN, we're pretty much spoiled with all the cinematic tools like waveforms, histograms, zebras, and more. Plus 14bit colour depth in RAW. Shutter angle is also available for years now as well as Intervalometer, anamorphic utilities and simulations, 2.35/2.39 aspect ratios. But I'd love to have the Sony autofocus and low lights. Guess I'll have to wait a few more?
I went from Magic Lantern to Panasonic and it was a smooth as butter transition for me.
Yes!!!!!!
3:51 "Soo-ray" is how I've heard it pronounced by a company rep. They really didn't think that name through though, did they. Thanks for posting this. I was waiting for a bunch of people to demo this firmware before doing it myself. Nobody wants to be the guinea pig that bricks their camera via firmware updates.
Te dejo esta pregunta en español por que se que lo hablas. Este nuevo firmware afecta en algún punto la energia de la batería? he notado que con el firmware 2.0 la batería se consume mas rápido que por ejemplo en una a7sIII o una a7IV.
Thanks Armando. i just update. i notice that i missing the Tracking Focus Icon on screen on video mode. It´s just me? Thanks!
Any idea of when an update is coming for the A7SIII?
Armando!!! Crees que vayan a sacar una nueva versión de la fx3 pronto??? Como el siguiente año??? O crees que aún falta tiempo para una nueva versión???
how does the simultaneous 1080p from hdmi works while recording DCI 4k at 24 or in other of the new modes ?
I just picked up an FX3. It's on v1.0 - do I need to go to 2.0 first to go to 3.0 or can I skip 2.0?
Where is the focus breathing comp update for the A1?
For a Cinema camera is still missing very BASIC features, features you get on a Lumix for example for half the price. Shutter angle, open gate, and features that have should've been here since the beginning. Great video as usual
It may seem that Sony is listening to complaints of their customers, but I think this update is brought to you by Lumix S5 II ....
Open gate is only possible on smaller 4:3 sensors such as Alexa mini or Panasonic GH cameras. The full frame sensor on FX3 covers a vertical height that is equal to or greater than s35 sensors in open gate mode.
Lumix S5ii if a full frame camera that allows you to record open gate, this is exactly what I was trying to say on my initial comment
@@mathiastegtmeier9714 Open Gate simply refers to using the entire vertical and horizontal view of the sensor. Has nothing to do with sensor size or ratio of the sensor. Open gate is typically 3:2 (Arri started this on the Alexas), but again the ratio doesn’t matter so long as it’s capturing the full height and width of the sensor.
Some sensors are 3:2 and can shoot open gate at that ratio, or shoot in an anamorphic 4:3 ratio cropping in on the sensor, as well.
Armando I wonder if Sony will release this firmware to the Sony A7siii
FYI that extra real estate doesn't exist on the FX3 and FX30 for DCI 4k. Because they're already oversampled downscaled to UHD, it just crops the top and bottom, instead of extending the sides.
I'm not sure what's going on but when I go onto the website and find the version 3.0 and then click on it, it takes me to the version 2.02 update. I don't know what's going on.
