Sony FX3/FX30, FX6 FIRMWARE UPDATE Roadmap

SUPPORT MY CHANNEL WITH MY LUT:

Sony has announced its firmware roadmap for some of its Cinema Line cameras, which includes the VENICE 2, BURANO, FX6, FX3, and FX30. The firmware updates will be available beginning next year and all the way through to 2026.

“Firmware updates are an important way for Sony to continue to address the needs of our filmmaking community. Our Cinema Line is built for the future and the firmware will allow our products to continue to evolve with the needs of our filmmakers, especially at a time when the industry is undergoing incredible changes. This is yet another way Sony is looking to support the community.”

It's baffling how Sony doesn't offer Open Gate and Full Height anamorphic modes when Lumix, Fuji and Blackmagic all do. There's nothing about the FX3/6 and Burano hardware that prevents it, and it could be done with Firmware upgrades. Fuji released an 800 dollar camera that shoots 6.2k open gate 10bit, and Sony still acts like that's a premium feature you need to pay for a Venice to get

I love the thumbnail of the FX3/30 with the Lumix UI 🔥

[StrongFrontTV]

This is great news, I just got an FX6 and FX3 and was worried something was gonna come out right after as usual.

[through_the_lens_art]

That is really puzzling why Sony announces any FW updates 12 months before...

[Mionwang]

Oh man this is so awesome! I don't own a videoassist right now but since the update is coming in september, I'll have more than enough time to get one. FX30 is my first proper "cinema" camera, and frankly the first fairly high end camera I purchased and I definitely don't regret a thing. I LOVE sony's new found commitment to providing firmware updates.

[NosaAlways]

Please! I must ask, How are your videos so soft?! What’s your lighting and post production set up and process?

[DmitriFilms]

As someone who uses DaVinci for all his works and has dreamed of BRAW being in Sony cameras, this software update has come one year too late. Lumix won me over with the amazing Lumix S5IIX. Phenomenal camera that has had BRAW plus all of these features such as anamorphic desqueeze from day one. Congrats to the Sony boys who have stuck around, but Sony could have saved many of us from switching had they done this much sooner. Too little too late.

[JacobStickel]

BRAW does work in PP. You have to download a plugin I believe

All those people who were so certain the FX3 Mark II was coming in January are about to buy a Canon or a Lumix, out of anger! 😂

[RandomMotoThings]

If Panasonic releases a new s5 or S1H model with even more improved autofocus and full frame 4k 60 with literally the same features they already have, none of this will matter.

Lot of people are fine with moving to the s5iix already. They need to get these firmwares out way faster.

One thing I’m jealous of that Panasonic doesn’t have though is a great working app like monitor+ to monitor, touch focus, etc with not using a monitor setup with batteries and bulkiness

Pretty much just hanging out waiting for an FX9II at this point. Glad I have my FX3 and FX6, will probably pick up another one of one of them eventually, but I want an FX9II to happen.

[navpreetsingh]

so glad I am possibly getting an update in 2026! Thanks Sony

[ullbill]

With Canon's C80 out I was really expecting them to do a new FX6

[LateshaPond-gf]

ai-videoupscale AI fixes this. Sony camera firmware update roadmap.

[unlockthepicture]

I have a feeling Sony already lost a lot of people to the Lumix S5IIX with how slow Sony's firmware updates and features are.

[waveland]

Sony’s methodical approach to updates is both fascinating and infuriating, not to mention they have blown up most of my thinking about hardware updates (not) coming in the months ahead. I think there’s still an FX9 category replacement which is likely to show up in the first half of next year, but Sony apparently has no plans to change to FX6 anytime soon. I’m okay with that I guess. The FX3/6 sensor is still exceptional for many uses. At the same time, the product cycle pace has stalled and it may be time to consider alternatives to the FX line next year. For the moment, I will be fine.

[lukefoxwell]

I am happy that they give us updates, but I don't understand what takes them so long! Also I would like them to add AV1, might be better for long form stuff over H.264

[coder]

Sony makes it sound like they’re using a very old school software process where every device is using a completely unique code base, which makes it hard to get anything done quickly.

Imagine if Apple had to ship feature updates to each iPhone variant individually, rather than just having a single OS that runs on all of their (supported) iPhones.

[RandumbTech]

Wow, so no new FX until late next year, at the earliest! I thought for sure they’d release something with 6K open gate soon.

[paperstacksfilms]

Well now that i see what the big 6 menu looks like i do like it, im hoping there will be a fewture to turn it off and on cause when im run and gunning with no monitor o need my rear screen to see what im shooting. The braw thing is awesome but will it be an additional crop similar to shooting with a ninja v ? Also the fact thst only the Venice is getting el zone pisses me off. Why give all the camwras the big 6 menu and not el zone???
