Chapter 1 Overview

Overview

1-1 Features

The F65 is a digital motion picture camera equipped with a Super 35-mm type CMOS sensor array with a total of 20 Megapixels. The camera is incorporated with newly developed imagers and a digital signal-processing LSI that yield images of a high quality for cinematic, commercial, and dramatic production applications. The camera also supports the features of a “production camera” up to details in its shape, button and indicator layout, and materials of the parts.
Note
F65 software or SR-R4/SRK-CP1 software, V3.00 or later, is required in order to use the various functions described in this manual. The description in this manual assumes an F65 camera fitted with the CBK-65EL upgrade kit.
Superior picture quality and high performance
Chapter
The camera supports the following formats. F65RAW mode: 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p,
S47.95 (Select FPS), S48 (Select FPS), S59.94p (Select FPS), S60p (Select FPS)
F65RAW-HFR mode: S119.88p (Select FPS), S120p
(Select FPS)
HD mode: 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p,
S59.94p (Select FPS), S60p (Select FPS)
Imaging characteristics with wide color space
Sony’s unique technology color filters allow the camera to capture images with natural-looking color reproduction close to those of the actual scene.
S-LOG gamma and 709(800%) gamma for monitors
The camera is equipped with S-LOG gamma for checking the entire dynamic range of the image, and 709(800%) gamma for general monitoring.
Mechanical rotary shutter
The camera is equipped with a mechanical rotary shutter that eliminates the rolling shutter effect common to conventional CMOS image sensors.
1
Super 35-mm type CMOS and PL mount
With the F65’s Super 35-mm-type CMOS imagers and PL mount, most movie lenses designed for conventional 35­mm film cameras can be mounted without a converter.
Wide latitude and high-quality pictures
With its newly developed imagers, and unique 16-bit digital LSI, the camera achieves wide latitude and high­grade picture quality with minimal noise.
RAW image output
Outputs RAW image data, without camera signal processing or non-linear gamma processing, for increased convenience during post-production.
Multiple frame formats
The camera supports 3840/4096-pixel wide images for high-end content creation, including commercial and broadcasting program production as well as movie making.
HD shooting
When used with the SR-R4 recorder, the camera can also shoot images in HD mode, in addition to RAW mode. SR-R4 version 1.4 or later is required to record in HD.
HFR (high frame rate) mode
Supports recording at 120 frames per second. Frame rates from 1 to 120 fps can be selected using Select FPS. In HFR mode, the ND filter is set to Clear, and the mechanical rotary shutter cannot be used. In addition, only when the frame rate is set to 120 fps, two cameras can be genlocked so that the phase of the images obtained are synchronized.
2-system independent SDI outputs
Selectable, independent signal output on SDI1 and SDI2.
• A signal with a varied “look” (tone and color space) based on CDL or 3D LUT can be selected for output on SDI1.
Features
7
• A video assist monitor image using Hi/Lo Key, MAG, or other effects can be selected for output on SDI2, in addition to the standard LUT.
Note
The SDI1 system supports “Graded ACES” and “Look
Chapter 1 Overview
Profile” settings that perform color conversion using a built-in 3D LUT. The F65 employs a 3D LUT with 17×17×17 lattice to obtain a contour line signal for areas of smoothly varying luminous intensity. The recording signal is not affected, allowing the processing to be improved using a color grading tool that performs color conversion employing a higher-degree 3D lattice grid.
DVF-EL100 viewfinder connection
Connects to the DVF-EL100 OLED color viewfinder (option) that displays a high-resolution, accurate color reproduction image.
1) The DVF-L350/L700 viewfinder is not supported.
1)
Design and shape
New compact design
For a high level of mobility in consideration of various shooting situations, such as inside a car, the camera is housed in as compact a body as possible. In addition, buttons and indicators are laid out to provide a familiar and intuitive user interface to users of conventional cinema film cameras.
Dockable system for the SR-R4 Portable Memory Recorder
A dockable interface system for docking with the SR-R4 is employed for versatility under shooting conditions and on­site demands.
Compatible with film-camera accessories
The F65 is designed to be compatible with a variety of film-camera accessories, giving users a broad array of choices. These include ARRIFLEX-made bridge plates, matte boxes, follow focus units, lens focus/zoom/iris servo control units, and more. These film-camera accessories can be attached to the F65 without modification, enabling users who principally work with film to fully utilize their existing assets. The F65 is equipped with one 12 V DC and connector one 24 V DC connected to the camera.
1) To supply accessories with 24 V DC power, the camera must have both
Assignable buttons

12 V DC and 24 V DC supplies, and the CAM POWER switch must be turned ON.
The operator can assign frequently used functions, such as magnifying the image in the viewfinder, to assignable buttons to call these functions rapidly when working in the field.
Operational versatility
Cine mode
This mode records video without processing, on the presumption color grading is performed in post­production, while applying basic color grading to the VF/ SDI outputs. In Cine mode, the camera can be operated just like a conventional film camera.
Custom mode
This mode allows you to adjust the black/white level and the gain of the main signal when creating images on location. This mode also supports camera control by connecting a remote control unit (RM).
Shutter control
The shutter speed is adjustable in terms of shutter angle. You can also switch between a mechanical rotary shutter and an electronic shutter.
Sensitivity adjustment function
In Cine mode, the F65 employs an EI sensitivity indicator for shooting using a light meter, just as for film cameras, to enable overexposure/underexposure processing in post­production.
ASC CDL
American Society of Cinematographers Color Decision List (ASC CDL) is a format for the exchange of basic color grading information, recommended by ASC. The CDL parameters can be specified by importing a CDL file or by adjusting using the F65Remote Look Plus remote control application. The adjustments made are not reflected in the master video signal, but are saved as metadata in the SR­R4 recorder. When recording, the video can be monitored on the VF/SDI outputs by applying the values in metadata to the recorded material.
Other features
USB host connectors
The camera is equipped with USB connectors (host) for connection with an optional Wi-Fi adapter (CBK-WA01) to enable wireless camera operation from a tablet or other Wi-Fi capable device.
8
Features
Anamorphic format support
Normal VF/SDI video, without distortion, is output when using a 2x anamorphic lens.
Supports various setup methods
The F65 can be configured from a variety of devices. The basic configuration is performed on the camera’s subdisplay. However, detailed settings can be performed from the menu (VF Menu) displayed in the viewfinder or on a monitor connected to the SDI OUT connector. You can also make detailed settings by displaying the menu in a web browser or on a tablet device, such as an iPad.

Basic Adjustments and Settings

3-1 Basic Operation of the Camera

The camera operates in two modes: Cine mode and Custom mode. In Cine mode, the camera acquires main line video information, without processing, for color grading in post-production while applying basic grading to the VF and SDI outputs. In Custom mode, images are created on location by adjusting the black/white level and gain of the main line signal.
Cine mode
• Shoots images with a fixed camera gain, and sensitivity specified using a light meter (EI mode).
• Sensitivity can be selected from 200EI, 250EI, 320EI, 400EI, 500EI, 640EI, 800EI, 1000EI, 1250EI, 1600EI, 2000EI, 2500EI, and 3200EI.
• In post-production, the gain can be set to the sensitivity selected during shooting.
• In intensified sensitivity shooting (e.g. 1600EI), the gain is automatically adjusted in response to the selected sensitivity for the VF/SDI/HD-Y outputs, even though the master video output darkens, to maintain appropriate monitoring levels.
• In HD mode, the video gamma can be set to S-Log2 or selected from user gammas.
• Video adjustment using ASC CDL is supported for the SDI1 output. The adjustments are recorded as metadata together with the video for each frame. The video adjustments made during shooting can be recreated in post production by applying the metadata values to the video.
• The full latitude does not change when the sensitivity setting is changed, but the dynamic range and noise floor changes in post-production with suitable processing. When the sensitivity is set high, the dynamic range increases on one hand, while the noise in dark areas also increases. Conversely, when the sensitivity is set low, the dynamic range decreases but the noise in the dark areas also decreases.
Chapter
Custom mode
This mode allows camera gain to be adjusted and black/ white level to be adjusted from the camera menu or optional remote control unit (RM) while shooting.
• Camera gain is adjustable in the range –6 dB to +12 dB in 3 dB increments (EI adjustment not supported).
• Black/white level is adjustable.
• Black/White, Gain, and following operations can be controlled from a remote control unit. —Shutter Speed —Filter Select —Rec Start/Stop —Rec Review —Bars/Test Signal —12p Iris Control
The white balance can be set to 3200K (tungsten), 4300K (tungsten), or 5500K (daylight).
The camera supports HD mode recording, where images are down-converted to HD internally and recorded on the SR-R4. The recording format can be selected between HD mode and F65RAW mode.
Functions supported after upgrading the F65 using the CBK-65EL (F65 UPGRADE KIT)
