Other Features; Slow Shutter Function - Sony PMW-F3L Brochure & Specs

OTHER FEATURES

1. Picture Profile
The Picture Profile feature of the PMW-F3 allows camera
operators to easily call up customized picture-tonal settings
to suit particular shooting conditions, rather than having to
readjust the camera each time. This gives greater
operational efficiency. Up to ten different pictures - including
tonal settings such as matrix parameters, color correction,
detail, one of eight gamma curves, and knee - can be saved
on an SxS memory card. These settings are displayed on
®
the LCD panel at the touch of a button.
2. Selectable Gamma Curves
The PMW-F3 offers a wide variety of gamma curves to flexibly
handle contrast and give a specific 'look' to an image. In
addition to six types of standard gamma curve, there are four
types of Hyper Gamma which are identical to those on
CineAlta™ cameras. Operators can select the best-suited
preset gamma curve, depending on scene requirements.
3. Built-in ND Filters
The PMW-F3 camcorder is equipped with built-in optical ND
(Neutral Density) filters. These filters are selected via a built-in
ND filter slide - Clear (Off), 1/8 ND (0.9), and 1/64 ND (1.8) -
and conveniently enable operators to control light intensity
without a matte box in small camera configuration.

4. Slow Shutter Function

The PMW-F3 offers a Slow Shutter function for capturing
clearer images in low-light environments. This allows the
shutter speed to be extended to a maximum of eight frames.
The function not only increases camera sensitivity but also
produces a special blurring effect when shooting a moving
object, for enhanced shooting creativity. The shutter speed is
selectable between 2- and 8-frame periods.

5. Interval Recording Function
The Interval Recording function intermittently records one
frame at pre-determined intervals. This is convenient for
shooting over long periods of time, and also when creating
special effects with extremely rapid motion.
6. HD-SDI and Other Versatile Interfaces
The PMW-F3 comes
equipped with a wide range
of interfaces optimized for a
variety of operational needs,
broad interoperability, and
flexible workflow. These
include an HD-SDI output
and, in E-to-E mode, an
uncompressed 4:2:2 10-bit
signal can be output from
the connector. For versatile
usage, there is also a down-converted SD-SDI output, i.LINK
(HDV/DVCAM), and analog composite/component output.
In addition, the PMW-F3 has a timecode input/output and
genlock input, allowing the camcorder to be used in a multi-
camera system. Also, the PMW-F3 has an HD-SDI Dual-link
output for 10bit 4:2:2 1080 50/59.94p as standard, and 10 bit
RGB 4:4:4 1080 24/25/30p output as an option.
7. Supplied Software for Powerful Content
Management
The newly developed XDCAM Browser version 1.1 not only
enables users to browse video clips shot by the PMW-F3 on their
Microsoft Windows and Macintosh
®
computers, but also to register and
edit metadata, and convert file
wrappers if needed. In addition, with
an optional charged base plug in
from MainConcept AG*, you can
also convert file format for example
from 4:2:0 35Mbps to 4:2:2 50Mbps.
