The\u00a0PMW-F3L Super 35mm XDCAM EX Full-HD Compact Camcorder with S-Log Gamma<\/strong>\u00a0continues the democratization of high-end image capture. The camera’s Super 35mm-size CMOS sensor offers a variety of advantages over smaller sensors, including increased control over depth of field, higher sensitivity in low light, lower image noise, and an exceptional dynamic range. Unlike smaller, broadcast-style sensors or the larger “full-frame” sensor found in some DSLRs, the PMW-F3’s chip is on a par with Hollywood film cameras, in terms of field of view and depth of field. That means complete compatibility with cine-style film lenses and consistency of vision for cinematographers used to shooting on 35mm film.<\/p>\n

Another advantage of the camera’s highly efficient sensor is its low power consumption–only 24W. Not only does this mean a standard 12V battery can last nearly 3 hours, but the low amount of heat the sensor generates offsets the need for an internal fan–contributing to the camera’s extremely light weight (just over 5 lb). As a result, this is the first CineAlta camcorder designed with a handheld form factor.<\/p>\n

Using a solid-state workflow based on the XDCAM EX platform, the PMW-F3 records natively to professional SxS media, using the MPEG-2 long GOP codec in an 8-bit 4:2:0 color space. More demanding applications can utilize the camera’s dual-link HD-SDI ports to output to an external recorder in 10-bit 4:2:2 or 10-bit RGB 4:4:4.<\/p>\n

The combination of four HyperGamma settings with S-Log and LUT capability provide RAW-like flexibility to the image data, allowing for increased picture control and dynamic range. S-Log expands the camera’s dynamic range to include at least 12.5 stops of exposure latitude. Meanwhile, the F3’s Exposure Index mode sets the camera at an optimal ISO and adds a full stop of exposure, maximizing the sensor output for situations when highlights are a priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
