Sony PXWFS7M2 Super 35 XDCAM Camera Body.

Description

Overview

The 4K Super 35 EXMOR sensor features 14 Stops of latitude and a wide colour gamut. It offers a choice of XAVC or MPEG-2 codecs. The XAVC codec can be used for 4K and HD recording, while MPEG-2 is limited to HD recording. XAVC comes in two flavours, XAVC INTRA, and XAVC Long, allowing you to encode from HD to UHD using Intra-Frame or Long GOP compression. XAVC Intra compression is very efficient, recording at modest bitrates and XAVC Long also substantially extends the recording time while attaining very high quality and low noise.

Design

The electronic variable ND system that provides a clear filter and 3 users definable presets. The variable ND can be adjusted to provide between 2 and 7 stops of ND. The camera can capture footage to optional on-board XQD media cards in either DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) or UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at up to 59.94 fps or HD at up to 180 fps.

Features

The camera records in your choice of XAVC-I, XAVC-L or MPEG-2. However, MPEG-2 recording does not support the high data rates the camera is capable of generating when shooting in UHD and is limited to recording HD video only. The camera incorporates Dual XQD media card slots that support simultaneous or relay recording. An ergonomically designed handgrip provides control of many of the camera’s functions and features an adjustable length support arm.

Locking E-Mount

The PXW-FS7M2 is equipped with a locking E-Mount that provides improved stability and strength compared to a standard E-Mount. It features a safety interlock system that helps prevent accidental disengagement of your lens from the camera body. The locking mount also reduces lens play compared to a standard E-Mount and the locking mount is strong enough to support long cine and ENG zooms that normally require lens support.

Media Card Slots

The camera features two XQD media slots that support simultaneous or relay recording. The XQD card slots are shallower on the PXW-FS7M2 compared to the FS7, making inserting and removing media cards easier.
