However, We usually saw Final Cut Pro users encounter importing issues when attempting to edit XAVC S in Final Cut Pro X.

Q1: I want to import Sony AXR III footage to FCP. My question is it possible to work XAVC S files in Final Cut Pro natively and how to do?

Q2: I Want to buy Sony RX10 mark III. It can shoot video with AVCHD but wanted to check the better encoder XAVC S. I'm working with FCP X and it does not recognize the XAVC S file (although I can still play the file with QT - a bit strange. I guess I'm missing something here...).

Normally, we would like to adopt Final Cut Pro to edit some XAVC S footage from Sony AS100V, Sony AX33, Sony aXIII, Sony X1000V, Sony RX100 IV etc. in order to get better videos or more wonderful video files. Well, Final Cut Pro X might not support XAVC S format. In this case, to smoothly edit Sony RX10 MK III XAVC-S in Final Cut Pro X, the easy workaround is to convert XAVC S to ProRes MOV which is the best codecs with best results when working with Final Cut Pro (FCP X, FCP 7, FCP 6).
