Simon Shasha Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi guys, I've got a job coming up where the client is asking for 120FPS. Does the A6300 crop the sensor when shooting 120FPS? Been scouring various forums - some have said yes, no, x1.1, x1.9, x2.2... I can't seem to find a solid answer regarding this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 24, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2016 Yes it does crop. Not hugely, but certainly noticeably. I'd say if 1.5x is the full Super 35mm sensor compared to full frame, then it will bump it to 1.8 maybe 2x in 120fps. Just have a Speed Booster handy for wides. PS... I still love the RX100 IV for 120fps. Still the best detail in 1080/120fps yet. A7S II and A6300 both softer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Andrew, you are a legend! Thank you so much for clearing that up! 95% of this is going to be on a gimbal - was hoping to take advantage of the AF. I have the A6000 and A7RII, so I'm well versed in controlling the Sony system. I have the Sony 35mm F1.8 OSS. If the crop is, roughly 2x, perhaps I should grab the Sigma 19mm F2.8...however, I'm unsure if that takes advantage of the A6300 AF system well... Thanks again for the quick response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Was looking at the RX100 IV just now - easily better 120FPS - for resolution and ISO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 24, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2016 It's great. I shot all of this in 120fps and the long continuous takes really help in the edit, much better than the 240fps cache record and buffering mode. Add to that the F1.8 lens really helps in low-light and you have a great run & gun camera. Simon Shasha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first returned it but a few days later I made my LUTs that at least to my eye lets me get nice skin tones. And I did enjoy to have something literally in the pocket. I also got the magfilter I used to have with the RX1ooii. And finally when they lowered the price with almost 10% and gave me another 10% for an open box it was done (the open box was the one I returned ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Shasha Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 That video is awesome, Andrew! It's really got me going back to the drawing-board...need to make-up my mind by Saturday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Garcia Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hey guys, a little bit late here, I'm a beginner trying to learn about sensor and crop factor, bought my first camera recently (an A6300). So, an APS-C sensor already has a crop factor of 1.5x (on Sony cameras), and if I record in 120fps, it would sum about 0.5x? So, I would end up having a crop factor of 2.0x? It means that if I buy a 35mm lens and shoot in 120fps, I would actually have a 70mm (35mm x 2) equivalent angle of view? Is that right?

webrunner5 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Got this from eoshd: Got confirmation from an A6300 tester " DVFire", 4K 24P/25P crop factor 1.5x (24MP full sensor readout) 4K 30P crop factor 1.9x (13MP crop area full readout) HD 120P crop factor 1.9x (13MP crop area pixel binning readout) *The crop values are written relative to the FF image circle. So your 35mm will equal a 66.5mm lens. Erick Garcia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
