The Sony PMW-F5 CineAlta camcorder is a professional digital cinema camera that can capture 2K video natively to SxS Pro+ memory cards, and can capture range 4K and 2K RAW when using the optional AXS-R5 Recorder. Key features include:
8.9MP Super 35mm CMOS Sensor. The large sensor allows you to capture stunning shallow depth-of-field imagery with exceptional low-light performance. The fourteen-stop dynamic range approaches that of traditional motion-picture film, while the advanced color-filter array technology provides a breadth of color that exceeds film.
External 4K and Internal 2K/HD Recording. Using Sony SxS PRO+ memory cards (not included), the F5 records 8-bit MPEG-2 HD422 at 50 Mbps, 10-bit XAVC 2K/HD at 100 Mbps, and SR Codec 10-bit MPEG4 SStP at 220/440/880 Mbps. You can choose from a range of different interlace and progressive frame rates. Additionally, you can record 4K and 2K resolution video in 16-bit RAW when using the Sony AXS-R5 Recorder Kit.
Modular Design. The F5’s concise design allows you to decide which components you need for your shoot. While it has a native Sony FZ mount, the included PL-mount adapter allows you to use any PL-mount lens. Furthermore, adapters are available for using Nikon and Canon lenses.
