Does the FX9 firmware anamorphic update include a 4:3 shooting mode for 2x lenses? Is that possible?
I don’t have full details but I suspect it is simply a desqueeze option for the VF. The FX9 can’t do full frame 4:3, it wouldn’t be able to read the sensor fast enough. For 2x anamorphic lenses ideally you want 6:5, not 4:3.
Thanks for the info.
Hello Alister,
Have you any clue why ther is no 4K 422 10 bits long gop in the FX6 ? It would be so convenient for some documentary shootings.
Probably because the FX6 uses the same codec chip as the FX9, but I don’t know this to be a fact, just a guess.
If so, it will be a pity because the chip on A7sIII can do such codec …
But the chip on the A7SIII doesn’t seem to be able to do industry standard XAVC-I MXF’s. One is a consumer oriented chip, the other is a broadcast oriented chip.
Is the XAVC-S-I at 25p UHD (intraframe at 250 Mbs) or at 50p ( 500 Mbs) 422 10 bits so much different in quality from the XAVC I UHD 25p and 50 p at the same frame rate ?
It looks like the diffenrence is only the MP4 container. (otherwise, same frame size, frame rate, color sampling , quantification and data rate).
I don’t want to start a querelle but as a documentary shooter I miss the UHD long gop 422 10 bit in the FX6.

The XAVC-S-I doesn’t appear to have some of the quality optimisations such a PPS and some others that help with playback performance. Audio interleave and sync also appears to be different. You can’t playback XAVC-S-I clips on any of the pro XAVC players. The MXF wrapper is very important to broadcasters as it can carry a lot of extra metadata that is needed in broadcast production chains such as forward planning metadata. While the image quality isn’t significantly different, the codecs are different enough to cause issues for a broadcaster that may have standardised on XAVC-I.
Thanks for all this information. Still hope an update could give fx6 uhd long gop 422 10.
Hi Alister
Do you have any information of release date for firmware 3.0 upgrade for SONY FX9
Best Regard
Last I heard was late Summer.
