Sony FX3 Firmware Update v7.02

The firmware version 7.02 for the Sony FX3 is one of the most significant updates since the camera's launch, transforming its interface and professional capabilities. The most notable novelty is the introduction of the "BIG6" home screen, designed specifically for film shooting environments, which allows you to view and adjust critical parameters such as ISO, shutter and aperture in a large, easy-to-read grid.

This update also enables external recording of Blackmagic RAW (BRAW) a 12-bit a via the HDMI output when connecting a a compatible Blackmagic Design Video Assist monitor. Additionally, highly requested community features have been added, such as anamorphic de-squeeze display with 1.5x and 1.6x factors, and the ability to specify frame rates directly in S&Q mode without navigating complex menus.

It is essential to note that Sony requires a specific update path: if your camera is on version 2.02 or earlier, you must first update a to v2.04 or v2.05 before installing v7.02. This update ensures a more streamlined workflow, greater compatibility with external monitors, and improved stability in the magnified focus system during bright monitoring.
