SKU: SKU153 Category:

Next generation camera with forward thinking full frame sensor, phenomenal color science and user-friendly operation.

Features:

New 36×24 mm Full Frame CMOS Image Sensor

Supports image capture at resolutions up to 6048 × 4032 pixels.* By switching the imager mode, the unit can natively support many shooting formats, including Super 35 24.3 × 12.8 mm, 4096 × 2160 pixel resolution (equivalent to 3-perforation motion picture film) and 4:3 Anamorphic* Super 35 24.3 × 18.3 mm, 4096 × 3024 pixel resolution (equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film). * Full Frame and Anamorphic modes require licenses sold separately.

Wide Latitude

The unit supports 15+ stops of latitude. It features very low noise for delivering phenomenal images in conditions from searing sunlight to almost no light, allowing for unprecedented creative freedom in grading.

Wide Color Space Capture

Images can be captured in a color space that exceeds DCI-P3. The degree of freedom in the grading is dramatically improved when using Sony’s S-Gamut and S-Gamut3.Cine color space together with S-Log3.

Dual Base ISO

The unit supports two selectable native ISO settings (ISO500 and ISO2500). Using Base ISO500 under normal lighting conditions and Base ISO2500 under low light conditions allows you to maintain the latitude balance between highlights and lowlights when shooting, without graining (noise).

PL Lens Mount

Equipped with the industry-standard PL lens mount. The lens mount supports Cooke /i technology, and lens information is recorded as metadata frame by frame.

E-Mount Lens

E-mount lenses are supported by removing the PL lens adaptor. E-mount lenses are smaller and lighter than PL lenses, and are available in a diverse lineup for expanded possibilities in image reproduction.

Compact Body and Intuitive Operation

A relatively compact design for a device equipped with a large Full Frame image sensor, achieved using Sony’s miniaturization technology, which allows easier shooting in confined spaces or on drones. The position, shape, and size of the control buttons reflect the requirements of camera operators for intuitive operation. They also feature backlighting for ease of use in dark locations.

Engineered to Survive

The chassis is made from magnesium alloy for high robustness and durability. The ventilation system is completely isolated from all electronic components to prevent ingress of dust, sand, and liquids.* The silent-running fan can be removed and cleaned on-set quickly and easily to maintain high readiness. * Design protects against dust and rain, but cannot completely prevent the ingress of dust and liquid.

Modular Design

Features a fully modular design, allowing you to flexibly support various rigs and peripheral equipment according to the shooting application. The top handle and viewfinder are easily adjustable to maintain ergonomic balance and ease of use with lenses. The height of the optical axis is the same as the PMW-F55, permitting the use of peripheral devices used with the PMW-F55. And an optional AXS-R7 Portable Memory Recorder can be securely attached to the rear of the unit using four hex screws.

8-Position Optical ND Filter

Employs an 8-position optical ND filter. It offers a wide ND range of 0.3ND (1/2 = 1 stop) to 2.4ND (1/256 = 8 stops) that reduces time lost on set changing external ND filters. The ND filter mechanism is servo-controllable.

Intuitive and Familiar On-Set Operation

The menu screen is available from both sides of the camera, with the main control display on the Assistant side of the camera for fast access to the camera settings by the camera assistant while shooting. An OLED mini display on the Operator side allows the operator to access commonly accessed features such as ND filter position, shutter, white balance, exposure index (EI), and frame rate (FPS), making it convenient for the operator to check the status of the unit.

Paint Control from RM/RCP and this Unit

The unit supports control from an RM/RCP panel that can be used with broadcast camcorders and system cameras. When connected, ITU-R Rec. 2020 color space and HLG are selectable and adjustment of various paint parameters is supported. Paint control operations are also supported using the full menu of the unit.

High Frame Rate (HFR) Shooting

4K X-OCN recording at frame rates up to 120 fps is supported using the unit in combination with an AXS-R7.

Remote Control Unit Support

By connecting an RM-B170 or other remote control unit, you can control some of the functions of the unit from the remote control unit even when Technical > System Configuration > RM/ RCP Paint Control (page 81) is set to Off in the full menu.

Various Recording Formats

The unit supports recording on SxS memory cards in XAVC 4K/QFHD, MPEG HD, and HD ProRes 422 formats. In addition, it can record in 16-bit RAW or X-OCN format onto AXS memory cards when used in combination with an optional AXS-R7 Portable Memory Recorder.

Imager Block Extension

The imager block can be extended from the camera body by 2.7 m (8.9 ft) or 5.5 m (18 ft) by connecting the CBK-3610XS1) Camera Extension System. The imager block can be extended from the camera body by 12 m (39.4 ft) or 3 m (9.8 ft) by connecting the CBK-3620XS2) Camera Extension System.

Surround View

Surround View is a mode available in the following imager modes that displays an image range that includes a 5% outer region beyond the effective picture size (top/bottom/left/right) in the viewfinder and SDI monitor output, allowing you to view a larger image range when shooting. The recorded image area does not include the outer region. 3.8K 16:9 4K 17:9 4K 4:3
