12 bit log raw is a really nice raw format and the ProResRaw codec helps keep the files sizes nice and manageable. Like the Shogun 7 the Ninja V can’t record the 16 bit raw from the FX6 or FX9 directly, so Atomos take the 16 bit linear raw and convert it using a visually lossless process to 12 bit log raw. On top of that you will need to buy suitable fast SSD’s. ![]() The cost of this kit will be around $950 USD or £850 GBP + tax, which is a great price. If you don’t have the Ninja V then you can buy a bundle called the “Pro Kit” that includes everything you need including a Ninja V with the raw licence pre-installed, The AtomX SDI adapter, a D-Tap power adapter cable, a mains power supply and a sun hood. If you already have a Ninja V (they are GREAT little monitor recorders, I’ve taken mine all over the world, from the arctic to Arabian deserts) you simply need to buy an AtomX SDI adapter and once you have that buy a raw licence from the Atomos website for $99.00. There are a couple of ways of getting the kit you need to do this. The big benefit of course being the compact size of the Ninja V. Well the engineers at Atomos have finally figured out how to pass raw via the AtomX SDI adapter to the Ninja V. For a long time it has always seemed odd that only the Shogun 7 was capable of recording raw from the FX9 and then the FX6 while the the little Ninja V could record almost exactly the same raw form the A7SIII. I know this is something A LOT of people have been asking for. To record the raw from the FX6 do remember that you have to add the AtomX SDI module. I really like the Ninja V, it’s small, compact and packed with useful features for not a lot of money. The extra processing allows it to record 4K 120fps raw or 8K 30p raw (it will be interesting to know which cameras are going to be outputting 8K raw). It’s the same size and shape but has much more internal processing power. The Atomos Ninja V+ is an upgraded version of the Ninja V. You will find the various firmware updaters here: You should insert a fully charged battery and also connect mains power when doing the update. Put the SD card in the BOTTOM of the cameras 2 SD card slots (slot B) and then start the update from the Maintenance, Version, Version Up setting in the cameras full menu. This is listed on the Sony site as “ILME-FX6 Update Guide(SD Card/CFexpress card. I’ve found the most reliable way to update the camera is to download the SD Card/CFExpress card version and place the Bodydata.dat file on an SD card. ![]() This is a welcome update for the FX6 and it also includes some “stability fixes” so I recommend that all users update their cameras. The only raw recorder that can record the 100 and 120fps raw is the Atomos Ninja V+ which will be available very soon. This firmware update adds the ability to output raw at 100p and 120p to a suitable external raw recorder. Sony have just released firmware version 1.10 for the ILME-FX6.
