Ready to take your Sony video skills to the next level?
Join Sony Australia and Croydon Camera House at Hyde Melbourne Place for an intermediate-level technical video workshop designed for filmmakers, content creators and experienced Sony users who want to better understand the capabilities and workflows of Sony’s Cinema Line cameras.
Building on the fundamentals covered in an introductory video session, this workshop takes a deeper dive into codecs, recording formats, camera configuration and advanced shooting options — giving you a clearer understanding of how to choose the right tools and settings for different productions.
Whether you're working with an FX3, FX30, FX6, FX9, FX5 or other Sony Cinema Line camera, this session will help you understand what your camera is capable of and how to configure it for more demanding creative and professional workflows.
One of the biggest decisions when shooting video is understanding how your camera records and how that choice affects image quality, file size, editing and post-production.
We'll take a closer look at Sony's range of professional recording formats and codecs, including:
Rather than simply explaining what each codec is, we'll look at why you might choose one over another, the practical differences between them, and how your recording decision can influence your entire production workflow.
We'll take a practical look at configuring different Sony Cinema Line cameras, from the FX3 through to the FX5, and explore how their capabilities and controls differ.
You'll gain a better understanding of how to navigate the cameras and make informed decisions around:
We'll also explore Open Gate recording and why it has become such an important tool for modern content creation.
Learn how capturing the sensor's full available image area can give you greater flexibility when reframing and delivering content across different formats — from traditional widescreen productions to vertical and social media applications.
We'll look at when Open Gate makes sense, how to approach framing when using it, and how it can fit into a modern production workflow.
With multiple Cinema Line cameras offering different combinations of resolution, recording formats, sensor technology and workflow options, choosing the right camera can become complex.
This session will help you understand the key technical differences between Sony Cinema Line models, with particular attention to the progression from cameras such as the FX3 to the latest FX5.
Rather than focusing simply on specifications, we'll explore what those differences mean in practical shooting situationsand how they can influence your creative and technical decisions.
This is an intermediate technical training session and is best suited to photographers, filmmakers and creators who already understand basic video concepts and want to develop a deeper technical understanding of their Sony equipment.
If you're already comfortable with frame rates, shutter speed, exposure and basic video settings, this workshop will take you further into the technical side of filmmaking.
Expect a detailed, practical session with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore the capabilities of Sony Cinema Line cameras.
Hosted at Hyde Melbourne Place, this session provides an intimate environment to explore Sony's professional video technology in detail.
Come prepared to dive into the technical side of filmmaking, compare workflows, experiment with different settings and gain a much clearer understanding of how to get the most from your Sony Cinema Line camera.
Recommended for intermediate to advanced users.
Bring your Sony camera, your questions and your curiosity.
Presented in collaboration with Sony Australia and Croydon Camera House.
