Features6 Overview The PMW-F55/F5 is a highly compact, lightweight and high-performance CineAlta 4K camera with a 4K Super 35mm equivalent Single- chip CMOS image sensor. The PMW-F55’s CMOS image sensor with frame image scan function allows you to shoot clear 4K images without rolling shutter distortion or flash band phenomenon, for perfect HD recording performance. The PMW-F5’s 4K image sensor allows you to record high quality HD pictures. You can record in SR SStP/MPEG2 HD video format, in addition to the new 4K-compatible format, XAVC, by using an SxS memory card. 4K RAW data can be recorded by using the portable memory recorder, AXS-R5, which adopts the newly developed access memory card (AXSM). The camcorder adopts the same native FZ mount used by the PMW-F3. You can use a variety of cine lenses (PL mount) so that the PL/FZ conversion adaptor comes standard. By using the optional LA-FZB1/LA-FZB2 mount adapter, the B4 lens that is widely used for broadcasting can be attached. You can use your lens libraries with this camcorder. Compatible with multi format The camcorder is compatible with the new format, XAVC (official name: MPEG4 AVC/ H.264 Hi422 Profiles/Level 5.2), and can record 4K: 4096 × 2160, QFHD: 3840 × 2160, 2K: 2048 × 1080, HD: 1920 × 1080. The camcorder is also compatible with frame rates from 23.98P to 59.94P. For high-speed shooting, you can record 1 fps to 60 fps for XAVC recording in the S & Q mode. The recommended media for XAVC recording is the newly developed SxS PRO+ memory card. The camcorder is also compatible with SStP SR- SQ 444, SR-SQ 422, and SR-Lite 422 that are adopted for HDCAM-SR, or MPEG2 HD 422 that is adopted for XDCAM. Your workflow can be used. If you install the CBK-55PD to the PMW-F55/F5, you can record in the Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD® codec. High frame rate (HFR) recording with up to 240 FPS Using the camcorder with the AXS-R5 allows you to perform 2K RAW recording with up to 240 FPS. You can use 2K/HD to record up to 180 FPS to the SxS memory card on the camcorder without the AXS-R5. The camcorder has two scan modes for high frame rate. In the first mode, you can shoot with the full angle of the CMOS image sensor equivalent to the Super 35 mm size, and use the lens with the focal length set for normal shooting of high frame rate recording. In the second mode, you can shoot with the center area of the CMOS image sensor equivalent to the Super 35 mm size (cut to Super 16 mm size). Modular structure The camcorder incorporates a modular design that allows you to configure the camcorder according to shooting circumstances, whether for cinema production, drama, commercials, 3D shooting, documentary filming, interviews, etc. The handle, viewfinder, audio connector panel, RAW recorder, and build up kit can be attached/ removed easily according to shooting requirements. The body and handle of the camcorder have multiple 1/4” and 3/8” mount points, to which you can attach standard accessories. Other features 4K Super 35mm equivalent CMOS image sensor The camcorder has a 4K Super 35mm equivalent Single-chip CMOS image sensor of 11,600,000 pixels, with effective pixels count of 8,900,000, for 4K/HD recording. The CMOS image sensor of the PMW-F55 includes a frame image scan function that allows you to shoot clear images without rolling shutter distortion or flash band phenomenon that occurs with a traditional film camera. The camcorder adopts a color filter that emphasizes color reproduction compatible with wide color area Overview Features
Features7 Overview (exceeding that of color film), allowing for near human vision image representation capability. Wide latitude, low noise The camcorder has a 14-stop latitude that can reproduce images captured by the CMOS sensor with smooth gradation of black to white. Exmor Super35 CMOS technology provides low noise levels, even with 4K resolution and 14-stop latitude maintained. A wide variety of recording functions The camcorder has the Interval Rec function that allows you to record frames specified at regular intervals and the Cache Rec function that allows you to begin recording a specified number of seconds in advance of the time that can be used for variety of situations. Video signal processing 4K/HD simultaneous recording and high-speed recording with unlimited recording time is possible with single LSI chip processing of both camera signals and baseband video signals. Single-chip design provides stable, high-speed 4K 59.94P baseband video processing, low power consumption, and compact design. Gamma curves corresponding to various situations The camcorder has a variety of gamma curves corresponding to various situations. S-Log2 and S-Log3 are equipped to cover wide latitude of the camcorder. The camcorder also has user gamma and hyper gamma. The user gamma can install and use the gamma curve that is made by CvpFileEditorTM V4.2. The hyper gamma can display the wide dynamic range images in smooth contrast without using the knee function. The PMW-F55/F5 provides the following six hyper gamma choices: Available hyper gamma choices* Name format: “HG” + 3 digits of dynamic range value + the unit digit of white limit + “G” + video output value with 18% gray card You can select dynamic range from among 325%, 460%, and 800%. You can select 109% or 100% for the maximum value of video output (White Limit). You can select the video output value with 18% gray card from two values. Monitor LUT on/off function for each output By dividing the video output signal (including the internal recorded signal) into 3 types, you can set Monitor LUT to on/off for each type independently. The camcorder has 5 types of gamma curve and 4 types of Look Profile for Monitor LUT preset. You can also use any user LUT file that is created by RAW Viewer. Intuitive user interface This camcorder has the color LCD panel on the inside panel, and direct access menu that assigns the commonly-used settings to 6 buttons. Displaying the setting information large, makes visibility better. By switching four screens (CAMERA, FILE, AU/TC, VIEW), you can perform setting speedy. A LOCK switch allows you to prevent changing settings by accident. By using the supplied IFU-WLM3 USB wireless LAN module, you can operate the camcorder from a Wi-Fi compatible device such as a tablet, with the wireless transmission. Assignable buttons The inside panel has three assignable buttons, while the outside panel has one assignable button. You can operate the camcorder easily by assigning commonly-used functions to these buttons. Built-in ND filter A rotary ND filter is built into the camcorder, and supports three types of filter: Clear, 0.9 (1/8), and 1.8 (1/64). This allows light adjustment without the need for external matte box. When using a B4 lens by attaching an optional LA-FZB2 mount adapter to the camcorder, you can use the power optical filter (neutral density filter and color temperature conversion filter) of the LA-FZB2 by setting the built-in ND filter of the camcorder to “Clear.” No.Name*Dynamic rangeWhite limitVideo output with 18% gray card (video input 20%) 1 HG3250G36 325% 100% 36% 2 HG4600G30 460% 100% 30% 3 HG3259G40 325% 109% 40% 4 HG4609G33 460% 109% 33% 7 HG8009G40 800% 109% 40% 8 HG8009G33 800% 109% 33%
Features8 OverviewVarious input/output connectors Four types of SDI output The camcorder has four types of SDI output that allows you to output 4K 59.94P signal as four 3G- SDI. The SDI-1/2 and SDI-3/4 outputs are assignable as SDI-1/2 OUT to Main, and SDI-3/4 OUT to Sub. The camcorder also includes connections for Genlock IN, Timecode IN/OUT, HDMI OUT, Remote. EFP-Style build up kit Attaching the accessory kit CBK-55BK to the camcorder improves stability and operability of the shoulder camcorder style. The CBK-55BK has various audio input/output connectors, direct switches that allow you to control the camcorder on hand while looking through the viewfinder when shooting with the camcorder on your shoulder, wireless audio receiver slot, and audio control panel. The front control section and shoulder pad can be slided 70 mm (2 7/8 inches) in the front-to-rear direction. You can maintain balance easily while shooting with the camcorder on your shoulder when the PL lens or large portable B4 lens is attached. 4K upgrade license for PMW-F5 By installing the CBKZ-55FX to the PMW-F5, 4K recording/playback for XAVC 4K/QFHD and 4K/QFHD output from SDI and HDMI are available.
