    Sony FX3 has environmental sealings on its body which makes it a weather resistant camera, providing resistance against the water and dust getting in to the camera. If you like outdoors photography and want to be able to use your camera in extreme conditions, Sony FX3 will serve you well. If you attach one of these Sony FX3 weather-sealed lenses to your camera, you will have a great all weather kit.

    Sony FX3 Lens Mount and Lenses

    Sony FX3 has a Sony E lens mount and currently there are 205 native lenses available for this mount. Sony keeps on adding new lenses to its E and FE mount selection and third party lens manufacturers also offer lot of good options. Thanks to its very short flange focal distance, choices of adapting lenses from other mounts are almost limitless. Sony also sells an adapter (Sony LA-EA4) which lets A mount lenses to be used with functionality including AF with E mount cameras. Metabones and Fotodiox also offers adapters which makes use of full range of Canon EF lenses with Auto Focus on E mount cameras.

    FX3 also has a Sensor based 5-axis Image Stabilization system which means that all of these lenses will be stabilized when used on FX3. Sony claims that the image stabilization of FX3 is effective up to 5.5 stops. Sensor based image stabilization is one of the most useful features that you can have in an ILC.

    Lens Breathing Correction

    One of the most impressive feature that will make the videographers very happy with the Sony FX3 is the Lens Breathing Correction The FX3 camera corrects the Lens breathing effect (for supported lenses) where the angle of view thus your framing changes undesirably when the lens focus plane switches between close and far objects. This makes the Sony FX3 one of only 12 Cameras to have a Lens Breathing Correction.

    You can find the list of Lens Breathing Correction compatible Sony lenses here.

    Gyro Based Stabilization

    Sony FX3 also features Gyro Stabilization system where the built-in gyro records the data from the sensors inside the camera only to use it during post processing - using a software such as Catalyst Browse - to stabilize the recorded video, although with extra crop. Using this software based stabilization method that only very few cameras have, can create impressive results even without the use of a gimbal or stabilizer. In order to have the most pleasing results, remember to set your video settings to a high shutter rate though.

    Sony FX3 is one of only 16 cameras to have a Gyro Stabilization.
