Hello, everyone! This is a camping life where I enjoy taking photos with my camera. I have some amazing news that I want to share with you all. The camera connected to my DJI Osmo Action 4 is the Sony FX30. I was contemplating whether to part with this camera or not, and I have been using it whenever I have live events. However, since I usually use a Panasonic camera, I thought it was time to let go of the FX30. I was preparing to say thank you and send it off when Sony made an incredible announcement. The news is that they will be updating the shutter angle mode for the Sony Cinema Line, including the FX3 and FX30. It's surprising that a cinema camera didn't have the shutter angle mode before; this is truly cinematic.

There are specifications that cannot be called a camera. Why is the ground built like this? But Sony has finally announced that they will release this. However, the slightly disappointing news is that they will not provide an update immediately; instead, they will support the crop mode through an update around September. While I appreciate this, I also wonder why it took so long to implement. For now, since I'm outside, should I try to shoot some video? I forgot to bring my memory card. 

You might be wondering why the crop mode is such a big deal. For those who create videos, this crop mode is extremely important. When I bought the Sony FX30, the aspect I was most disappointed with was the lack of crop mode. Typically, when shooting, the shutter speed is determined based on the frame rate of the video. For example,

If you plan to shoot at 24 frames per second, you should set the shutter speed to 1/50 of a second. If you're going to shoot at 30 frames per second, then the shutter speed should be set to 1/60 of a second. This means you typically set the shutter speed to double the frame rate, which is a general rule. You might wonder if you need to adjust the settings each time, but when you use the angle mode, if you set it to 180 degrees, it will automatically adjust the shutter speed to match the frame rate you're using. Personally, I usually shoot at 24 frames per second, but when I want to create a slow-motion effect or a specific mood, I switch to 60 frames per second. In the case of the Sony FX30, I need to go back into the menu to set the shutter speed to 1/120 of a second.

After finishing the recording at 24 frames per second, I set it to match 1 second again. Recently, an update was released that supports up to 48 minutes and 1 second, so now I can set my desired frame rate without any worries, and it handles everything automatically. As you can see, Sony's FX line, including the FX3 and FX30, is referred to as the Cinema line. It was really disappointing that there were no such features in the Cinema line. By the way, I have other cameras that have a shutter angle mode, and I always set it to 180 degrees when filming. However, this one doesn't have that option, which made me wonder whether I should sell it or completely switch to the FX3. I spent the winter in deep contemplation. I found that many people on international forums were very pleased with this update.

There were a lot of people, especially those who create videos, and this is an essential feature for them. Since that feature was missing, it seems that not just I, but many others were aware of it as well. However, an important point arises here: why did Sony suddenly decide to add this feature? I wondered if it's appropriate for Sony, a major player in the industry, to do this. Also, why would they choose to provide the update around September? I thought about it and speculated that they would likely announce a new camera before that, and when it is announced, they would add that mode and then update the previous models via firmware. There must be some underlying strategy. Regardless, it is nice that they are providing it, but I am also very curious about what new camera might be released. According to current rumors, a new camera from Sony is expected to come out.

The Sony Alpha 600R is a high-resolution crop body camera, and next, there is the new Cinema Line FX 50. The FX 50 is expected to have a built-in ND filter, despite being a crop sensor camera. It is likely to be a take on the Sony FX 6 but in a new form factor. The upcoming cameras will probably focus on how small they can be while still incorporating built-in ND filters. The quality of the built-in ND filter is something you may not be familiar with, and neither do I, as I have never used one. Nevertheless, a camera with a built-in ND filter, which has been present since the FX 6, will eventually be released by Sony, and that time might be this year. Therefore, I think we should consider the Sony FX 30, which I have planned for, as a possibility for the future. Today, I left my memory card behind, so…

I will conclude the video by sharing some sad news with you.
