Questions

Does it work on the FX30?

Yes. The FX3 and FX30 share their menus and picture profiles. Where a setting differs, like base ISO in S-Log3, both values will be listed.

When is it out, and what will it cost?

There's no date or price yet. Waitlist members hear first.

Is there anything free in the meantime?

Yes. The FX3 and FX30 guides are free, and everyone on the list gets the one-page cheat sheet when it's ready.
