The FX3 is a powerhouse of an image creator but can be a difficult camera to shoot with. The lack of internal NDs, difficult-to-see LCD screen and overall form factor can make it a tricky camera to master, especially for people coming to it who are relatively new to shooting.

 

I have worked extensively with the Sony FX3, and training for this camera is one of the most frequent requests that I receive. I have also taught extensively on both the Sony A7S3 and the  FX30 - both in-person and online.

General areas that I will always cover in my training include:

- Working from the inside out: setting up the menus and external switches to leave the camera 'bulletproof'

- Exposure using the camera's in-built tools (zebra & waveform)

- Auto-focus settings for different shooting scenarios

 

- Working with an external ND filter

- Shooting in S-Log3 and S-Cinetone

- Working with LUT's and an external monitor

- Shooting handheld - how can we make it work?

- Gimbal shooting (if requested)


As with all my training, I shape the course to what you specifically need to learn, and can incorporate specific exercises, shooting scenarios and additional equipment to replicate what you'll be shooting in the field.
