Doug Jensen's Sony FX6 Camera Master Class

With the release of Sony’s FX6 Cinema Camera, the possibility of recording stunning, cinematic-quality 4K full-frame images with an affordable camcorder has become a reality. However, like any professional camera of this caliber, the FX6 is extremely complex and has a steep learning curve. And that’s why this Master Class has been created by Doug Jensen at Vortex Media to help FX6 owner/operators get started off on the right foot. This 8-hour training video series is the most thorough and efficient way to learn both the fundamentals and advanced features of Sony’s revolutionary new camcorder.
