Summary of Contents for Sony PMW-F3

  • Page 1 PMW-F3 within budget, beyond imagination A breakthrough in cost performance, the Sony PMW-F3 starts at $16,000 MSRP . Here’s a true Super 35mm image sensor designed from the ground up for moving pictures. So you’ll get gorgeous images without gotchas like aliasing and moiré. The PL mount works directly with the 35mm cinema lenses you love.
  • Page 2 The Micro Four Thirds™ sensor (left) imposes a significant crop factor versus 35mm. The PMW-F3 sensor has nearly twice the surface area of the Micro Four Thirds sensor in 16:9 operation, making the F3 a significantly better match to the Super 35mm film frame.

  • Page 3: Rgb Output

    This enables the camcorder to output an image with spectacular resolution, color quality and bit depth: uncompressed 10-bit RGB 4:4:4 1080p, over industry-standard Dual-link HD-SDI. You’ll be able to record this signal on the likes of Sony’s SRW 1 HDCAM SR™ field recorder and the SR-R1 SRMaster™...
  • Page 4 Direct to edit Right out of the box, the XDCAM EX™ system offers a mature workflow. In the edit bay, the XDCAM EX codec enables direct-to-edit operation with leading NLEs from Sony, Avid, Apple, Adobe and Edius. Final ® ®...
  • Page 5 You can also “bake in” the LUT to images recorded on SxS cards, suitable for making EDL/ALE off-line files. At the same time, you can record S-LOG encoded RGB output onto HDCAM SR™ tapes and use these as on-line material. By using both HDCAM SR tapes and SxS cards, the PMW-F3 enables efficient post-production workflow.
  • Page 6 Not only does Sony provide the PMW-F3 with an industry-standard PL mount to accept these lenses, we also incorporate an image sensor that approximates the Super 35mm motion picture film frame. This means no 24% crop factor to introduce unwanted telephoto conversion.
  • Page 7 Compact and lightweight, the lenses form a perfect complement to the handheld camcorder. All three have consistent operation, including a common location for the follow focus gear. The set includes a 35mm T2.0, 50 mm T2.0 and 80mm T2.0. An attractive option is the Sony 11-16mm T3.0 1.5x wide zoom, the SCL-P11X15.

  • Page 8: Slow & Quick Motion

    XDCAM EX recording delivers the glories of full-resolution 1920x1080 progressive scan imagery. For vivid detail, brilliant color and lifelike motion, Sony’s XDCAM EX™ system records 4:2:0 signals at a choice of 25 or 35 Megabits per second. Your images are securely stored on compact, lightweight SxS flash media (sold separately).
  • Page 9 SRW-1 HDCAM SR™ field recorder. Other outboard options include the Convergent Design nanoFlash™ and Gemini 4:4:4™ recorders. Based on the hardware codec that Sony builds into XDCAM HD™ products, the nanoFlash recorder empowers you with superlative 4:2:2 recording at up to 280 Megabits per second.
