Check Shutter Count →The Sony FX30 (2022) is Sony's most affordable Cinema Line camera — an APS-C E-mount body built primarily for video production. It features a 26 MP APS-C Exmor R CMOS sensor, 4K 120p recording, S-Cinetone colour profile, and the compact Cinema Line body shared with the full-frame FX3. The FX30 uses an electronic shutter only (no mechanical shutter), so the actuation count reflects total still photos taken. As a video-first camera, most FX30 units will have low still-photo counts.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Shutter Type | Max Video |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sony FX30 | 2022 | 26 MP APS-C Exmor R | Electronic only | 4K 120p |
| Sony FX3 | 2021 | 12.1 MP full-frame Exmor R | Electronic only | 4K 120p |
| Sony A6700 | 2023 | 26 MP APS-C Exmor R | Mechanical + electronic | 4K 120p |
The FX30 is primarily a video camera, so the count reflects still photos only. Video recording hours are not captured in this counter.
| Shutter Count | Assessment |
|---|---|
| 0 – 1,000 | Typical for a video-focused user |
| 1,000 – 10,000 | Moderate still use alongside video |
| 10,000 – 50,000 | Heavy still use — unusual for FX30 |
| 50,000 + | Very heavy still use — inspect carefully |
Since the FX30 has no mechanical shutter, there is no traditional shutter wear concern. The count primarily helps assess overall usage patterns.
The Sony FX30 encrypts the shutter count in ARW MakerNote tag 0x9050 using Sony's cubic residue algorithm (modulo 249). After decryption, ShutterCount reads the count at the model-specific byte offset. The FX30 (ILME-FX30) shares the same tag structure as other modern Sony cameras like the A7 IV and A7S III. All processing happens in your browser.

No. The FX30 is electronic shutter only. The actuation count reflects the number of still photos taken, not mechanical shutter cycles.
The FX3 offers full-frame sensor advantages (better low-light, shallower depth of field) while the FX30 provides APS-C crop factor reach and a lower price. Both share the Cinema Line body, S-Cinetone, 4K 120p, and excellent autofocus.
No. The ARW shutter count only tracks still photo captures. Video recording hours and total video frames are not reflected in this counter.
