It is built around a new 16.6MP full-frame stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor paired with a BIONZ XR2 processor featuring integrated AI processing. At launch, the FX5 supports recording at up to 5K 60fps and 4K 120fps, with 5K 120fps and 4K 240fps to be added via a future firmware update.A key feature of the camera is open gate recording, which utilizes the full width and height of the sensor to capture video in a 3:2 aspect ratio.

This enables full 3:2 sensor output in 5K at 60fps in RAW directly from the camera, with 120fps support planned for a later update. RAW recording uses Sony's professional X-OCN format, offered in LT, C1, and C2 codec variants at varying compression levels.This is the first FX-series camera to include Sony's Dual Gain Shooting function, which merges output from low and high gain settings to improve dynamic range and reduce noise. The camera offers three base ISO settings—800, 4000, and 12800—for enhanced low-light performance, and is reported to deliver more than 15 stops of dynamic range.The top viewAdditional features include AI-based human pose estimation for autofocus, Auto Tracking White Balance that draws on both visible-light and infrared sensor data, an option to disable in-camera noise reduction, and a de-squeeze function for anamorphic lenses (which disables autofocus when active).
