Sony Cameras with Lens Breathing Compensation

Published: April 15, 2024

Below you will find the latest list of Sony mirrorless cameras that have the very creative and useful Lens Breathing Compensation feature (Canon is the only other manufacturer that offers this feature).

The breathing Compensation function adjusts the size of the frame dynamically in-camera during video recording by applying a certain percentage of the crop to minimize the phenomenon called Lens Breathing, where the angle of view changes according to the focusing distance.

With the latest firmware updates from Sony, the A1, A7S III, and FX3 have now joined the group of Sony cameras equipped with this feature. Sony also increased the number of lenses that are compatible with this feature.

A1, A7S III and FX3 gained the feature via Firmware Updates
