Flexibility – Enhanced Film-style Operation (for F35/ F23) New Ergonomics New Accessories for Tethered System: CA-F101 and HKSR-101 There are some occasions when a recording device needs to be tethered from a camera, such as when the camera itself has to be as small as possible (e.g., when shooting in space-constrained areas) and when the recording device needs to be consolidated in the base station (often referred to as “video village” in Hollywood in the U.S.).
Intuitive Controls F35 Compatible with Film Camera Accessories The F35 and F23 are designed to be compatible with a variety of film camera accessories such as ARRI™ accessories, giving users a broad array of choices. These include bridge plates, matte boxes, follow focus units, lens focus/zoom/iris servo control units, and more. These film camera accessories can be attached to the F23 without any modifications, so users who principally work with film can fully utilize their assets.
Operational Versatility (for F35/F23) Supplied Interface Box For flexible connection to a range of peripherals, the F35 and F23 are supplied with an interface box. This provides two HD-SDI outputs, which can be used either for Dual-Link connection with the SRW-1 recorder or a single HD-SDI connection. It also comes equipped with two-channel analog audio inputs. This interface box can also be used for battery operation, allowing Sony’s BP-GL95 to be attached to the F35 or F23*.
Assignable Switches Functions frequently used in the field can be assigned to three push buttons and one switch, allowing the operator to make rapid changes when working in the field. Memory Stick Storage of Camera Setup Parameters The F35 and F23 are capable of saving and recalling setup parameters such as scene files, reference files, and lens files via Memory Stick PRO™ media*.
In-camera Creativity (for F35/F23) Versatile Gamma Settings In addition to artistic and skillful lighting techniques, the use of in-camera gamma settings plays an important role in handling contrast range and producing a specific ‘look’ for an image. The F35 and F23 offer the following enhanced gamma control options to expand such capabilities: S-LOG Gamma The F35 and F23 are equipped with an innovative “S-LOG” gamma that can make full use of the wide dynamic range of the CCD.
Multi-matrix Control Low Key Saturation Correction The multi-matrix function of the F35 and F23 allow color adjustments to be applied over a color range specified by the operator. The color spectrum is divided into 16 areas of adjustment (approximately 20 degrees), where the hue and/ or saturation of each area can be flexibly modified.
A Wide Variety of System Components (for F35/F23) MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit The MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit is a central control panel used for the adjustment of camera parameters in a multi-camera system. Equipped with a 6.5-inch* type LCD display, the MSU-900/950 allows clear viewing of adjustment parameters during operation. A built-in Ethernet interface (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) enables the MSU-900/950 to be connected to the F35 and F23 cameras either directly or via a network hub.
HDVF-C35W LCD Color Viewfinder The HDVF-C35W, 3.5-inch* type HD LCD color viewfinder provides an optimum level of visual information via a full-color TFT-LCD device. Employing a unique detachable eye-piece construction, camera operators can clearly view images from various positions and angles. In addition, this LCD display offers a wide viewing angle, offering operational convenience when a number of people want to view the same picture at the same time.
