What the picks frame
Before you buy
- 40 of these 158 lenses weigh more than the FX30 itself (646 g with battery and card). With those, you carry the camera by the lens.
- 98 of the 158 are made for full-frame cameras. They fit and work; they are usually larger and heavier than an APS-C lens with the same view.
Memory card and battery for the FX30
What to buy with it, and what to do in the first hour.
Memory card
Two card slots, CFexpress Type A / SD with the UHS-II bus. Any SDXC UHS-II card works for photos; a UHS-II card clears long bursts faster, and a UHS-I card still works at UHS-I speed. For 4K video, use a card rated V30 or faster.
Battery
NP-FZ100: about 570 shots using the screen per charge by the CIPA test. It charges inside the camera over USB-C (switched off), so a spare battery and a power bank cover a long day.
The first hour
- Charge the NP-FZ100 fully before the first outing (in the camera, over USB-C, or in a charger).
- Insert the card, then format it in the camera: Menu, then the card or set-up tab, then Format. Copy anything on it first; formatting erases it.
- Set the language, date and time; the date goes into every photo's file.
- Fit the lens: line up the mount marks, turn until it clicks. Release by pressing the lens button.
- Take a test shot and play it back before you set off.

FX30 lens questions
Can I use full-frame lenses on the FX30?
Yes. 98 of the 158 lenses here are made for full-frame Sony E cameras and mount directly on the FX30. On this APS-C sensor they frame 1.5 times tighter than their focal length: a 50 mm lens frames like 75 mm.
Can I use Sony A-mount lenses on the FX30?
With Sony's LA-EA3 or LA-EA5 adapter. Autofocus with A-mount lenses depends on the adapter, the lens's motor and the camera. What each A-mount adapter keeps
Which memory card does the FX30 take?
Two slots: CFexpress Type A / SD, UHS-II. For 4K video use a card rated V30 or faster.
Does the FX30 charge over USB?
Yes. The NP-FZ100 charges inside the camera over USB-C while the camera is off.
Does the FX30 have in-body image stabilisation?
Yes, sensor-shift stabilisation that works with every lens, including unstabilised primes.
