I updated as well, and had no issue. It took more 2 mn than 6 mn.
Shutter angle is a nice to have.
Something has been improved to connect the camera via Bluetooth to a smartphone with creator's app (looks a new app to me). Before with Monitor & control it was a mess.
Now, it's easy and faster...
I Have also a set of 2.8 Sigmas: the 14-24, 24-70 and 70-200.
Plus the 105/2.8 macro and the 105/1.4. Those ones mainly in photo but they work fine on the FX6 and FX30
There is as well a desquize option monitoring, but as the other cameras it's only 1.3 or 2.0.
And of course no open gate readout. Alister Chapman told me that the hardware don't allow this. Actually, there is no version of XAVC capable of recording any aspect ratio other than 17:9 or 16:9, and...
Hi,
I have a compatibility issue with a Samyang lens (24 F/1.8) and the FX6 regarding the autofocus operation.
I had the chance to discuss with Forest Finbow this issue at the SATIS fair in Paris. We tested this lens with different cameras.
The autofocus works perfectly with the A7 series, the...
From what I've seen today, there is no good solution to shoot anamorphic with the FX6.
- Some people buy S35 lenses, like i.e. the Sirui lenses. Starting from 16:9 format it gives you a 'standard' 2.35:1 format but
1/ you loose the 4K
2/ x1.33 is not big and the anamorphic effect not strong
-...
Installed, just for the last item. I used the SD card method, it took about 10 minutes. The blinking of the SD card LED shows the installation progression: from 1 to 5 at the end.
I just discover that a new firmware V3.00 has been released for the fx6. Seems more network related

I've not tested yet
I tried today, the server seemed to be busy.
It worked the second time. It's the .DAT file

The SD method is more secure. The Sony updater is tricky sometimes. I cannot make it work...
Just to mention that I tested my 32G in FAT32. It was rejected by the FX6.
Conclusion: the FX6 does not work with 32G or less cards, whatever the speed.
Thanks to all !
You're perfectly right.
I did not pay attention to that because on the amazon site they mentioned that the 32G is SDXC as the other... Actually it's not true, the 32G is SDHC despite it's V90 :)
I learned that there is no relationship ...
Thanks for the good remark. I will check...
I checked the 32G card with some available tools.
The capacity is OK
The W/R speed is OK (> 85-90 MB/s)
So I don't undestand
Would be intersted to know if someone is able to use 32G cards. The other I have are not SDXC.
No, because the 'format' option is greyed in the menu.
I tried also the following:
- with a full charged battery (seems sometimes that the format is not possible if the battery level is too low). Same problem
- format the SD card on my A7R4 before plugging it in the FX6. Same problem
- played...
Hi,
I have a question regarding the SD cards.
I'm using for the clips a Kingston 128G V90. Works fine including in 4K 100FPS.
I decided to purchase the same one but in 32G only, mainly to store the configs on slot B.
I had a bad surprise... The camera refuses the 32G card. Error message...
The minim would be to have what exists already on FX3 and A7s3:
- Object AF tracking
- Bluetooth (usefull for remote devices)
What I would have in addition:
- Full sensor 3:2 readout format (for anamorphic). The sensor is 3:2, why read it in 16/9 only :)?
- Ability to switch-OFF automatically...
One remark about the Power Switch.
I left by accident the switch in 'ON' position (was thinking it was OFF) at the end of a cession, and put the camera in its bag.
One hour later, I had the good idea to use the camera. When I took it out of the bag it was still ON, and extremely hot (maybe 50°C)...
