Chapter 1 Overview

Overview

1-1 Features

The F35 is a 1CCD digital cinematography camera equipped with Super 35-mm type IT progressive CCD array with a total of 6,600,000 picture elements (effective pixel count of 1920 [H] × 1080 [V] RGB). 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.

Superior Picture Quality and High Performance

Super 35-mm type CCD and PL Mount

With the F35’s Super 35-mm-type CCD imagers and PL Mount, most movie lenses designed for conventional 35mm film cameras can be mounted without a converter.

Wide dynamic range and high-quality digital pictures

With its newly developed imagers, 14-bit A/D converter, and unique digital LSI, the camera achieves significant extension of the dynamic range and picture quality of optimal grade, minimizing noises.

RGB 4:4:4 image capturing

The RGB 4:4:4 image-capturing capability, having high affinity with computer graphics, yields significant results, especially in chroma-keying and color-correction processes where highly exacting special-effects sequences and elaborate finishes are required in demanding moviemaking, commercial, and television applications.

Variable-speed recording

When used with a Sony SRW-1 HD Portable Digital Recorder, the number of frames per second (FPS) for shooting/recording is selectable in single-frame increments. This allows users to create slow- or fastmotion effects equivalent to those obtained by

Chapter

“overcranking” or “undercranking” a cinematic film camera. Frame-rate settings for this function are variable from 1 to 50 FPS.

Multiple frame formats

The camera covers the1080 formats of different types to allow it to be used for high-end content creation, including commercial and broadcasting program production as well as movie making.

• Progressive mode: 1080/23.98P, 1080/24P, 1080/25P, 1080/29.97P, 1080/50P

• Progressive mode (variable): 1080/S23.98P, 1080/S24P, 1080/S29.97P, 1080/S50P, 1080/S59.94P (MAX50), 1080/S60P (MAX50)

• Interlace mode: 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i

Imaging characteristics with wide color space

Sony’s unique technology allows the camera to capture images in natural-looking colors closer to those of the actual scene than with conventional cameras.

S-LOG and Hyper gammas

S-LOG and Hyper gammas, field-proven in Sony’s F23 digital cinematography camera and HDW-F900R HD digital camcorder, are included among the standard selections with the F35.

User Gamma

The F35 allows you to customize gamma curves according to your creative needs, using the CvpFileEditor application software.

1) You can download the software from the “eCSite,” the site for downloading business and professional software from Sony Corporation.

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.

Features

Dockable system of the SRW-1 HD Portable Digital Recorder

A dockable interface system is employed to conform to versatile shooting conditions and on-site demands. The SRW-1 the camera, as required for shooting conditions.

Chapter 1 Overview

can be docked directly on the top or rear of

The camera and SRW-1 recorder can also be tethered via cables to take advantage of the compactness of the camera for higher mobility.

1) The firmware of the SRW-1 may be required to be updated for use with the camera. For details, consult your local Sony representative.

Compatible with film-camera accessories

The F35 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 F35 without modification, enabling users who principally work with film to fully utilize their assets. Having one 12 V DC output connector and another 24 V

output connector, the F35 can supply power to such compatible accessories attached to it through these connectors.

1) To feed 24 V DC power in synchronization with the power switch of the

camera, an independent power supply of 24V DC is required in addition to the 12 V power.

Assignable switches

Functions frequently used in the field, such as optical filter switching, can be assigned to three push buttons and one switch located on the side panel of the camera, allowing the operator to make rapid changes when working in the field.

Saving/retrieving settings with a “Memory Stick”

Using a “Memory Stick,” you can save menu settings for particular shooting conditions for retrieval when required.

1) Memory Stick and are trademarks of Sony

Corporation.

Monitor output selection

For monitor outputs, the user can select flexibly whether to mix character information and markers, whether to apply alternative monitor gamma other than that applied to the camera signal, or how to mix the playback picture.

Image inversion function

The image inversion function, field-proven in Sony’s F23 digital cinematography camera and HDW-F900R HD digital camcorder, is included among the standard functions with the F35. The delay of video relative to audio may vary according to the ON/OFF setting of this function (see page 118).

Other Features

Assistant panel

The supplied assistant panel has an identical button and indicator layout to that of the on-camera control panel and provides intuitive remote control of basic camera operations, such as control of frame rate (fps), shutter (indication in angles enabled), gain, color temperature (switching between Tungsten and Daylight enabled), timecode/tape remaining check, character indications, and function assignment to the assignable buttons.

Down-conversion output

The down-converter built into the camera as standard equipment enables camera pictures as well as VTR playback pictures to be monitored using a conventional SD monitor.

Twin-viewfinder operation

Two viewfinders can be attached to the F35 for simultaneous monitoring with different settings of character information and marker indications.

Operational Versatility

Two operation modes: Cine and Custom

The F35 offers two operation modes; “Cine Mode” for movie-making applications, where image tone is normally adjusted in post production, and “Custom Mode,” which is suitable for users who wish to fine-tune camera parameters to produce their desired look in on-set grading.

Shutter control

When using the electronic shutter, the setting indication can be switched between the shutter angle (degree) and shutter speed (second).

Basic Adjustments and Settings

3-1 Selection of the Basic Operation Modes

3-1-1 Overview of the Basic Operation Modes

With this camera, Cine mode and Custom mode can be switched. Cine mode is designed for shooting the materials that will undergo post-production editing and that do not need on-set grading, as with shooting with a film camera. Custom mode is designed for shooting with all the setting items of the camera set as you wish. The items that can be set and the selectable values on the menus and from the remote control unit are different in Cine mode and Custom mode.

Chapter

Custom mode

• This mode is designed for shooting with detailed settings on the menus or with operations from the remote control unit.

• The reference file, which stores the values to be used as reference for adjustments, and the scene files, which store the adjustment values specific to a particular scene, are available in this mode.

• User Gamma can be installed.

• Modification and storage of the lens files are possible.

Note

The settings for the file items adjusted in Custom mode are maintained when the camera is switched back to Cine mode. However, the video adjustment values that are temporarily changed and not stored in any file will be cleared upon mode switching.

For details on different items and values that can be set in each mode, see “4-3 Menu List” (page 60).

Chapter 3 Basic Adjustments and Settings

Cine mode (default mode)

• The subdisplay and the USER menu are mainly used.

• The items related to image creation are fixed at the factory-set values, and menu displays are simplified.

• Only auto black balance (ABB) can be activated as auto setup. The white balance level is fixed at the preset value (3200K), and auto white balance (AWB) and WHITE R/ G/B settings are not operative.

• On a remote control unit connected to the REMOTE connector of the camera, the values for the adjustment items whose settings fixed in Cine mode are not displayed. However, data for the ON/OFF setting items and selectable items are displayed although they are fixed in Cine mode.

• Reading/writing of files from/to a “Memory Stick” and data presetting are enabled only for the operator file that is included in the USER menu.

• Only retrieval by specifying a file number is allowed among the lens file operations.

• The reference file items are fixed to the default values set at the factory even if you have changed the values in Custom mode.

3-1-2 Switching of the Basic Operation Modes

At shipment, Cine mode is selected.

To switch to Custom mode

Referring to the procedures described in “2-8 Setting the Built-in Clock” (page 25), call up the <BASE SETTING>

With EXTEND, the dynamic range and sensitivity are improved. The S/N ratio is improved with NORMAL.

COLOR SPACE

Select color reproducibility: S-GAMUT: This mode enables you to record with wider

color space than with the conventional cameras (HDCF950, HDW-F900R, etc.) whose color space is equivalent to that available with film cameras. With postproduction processes, color expression can be substantially extended.

For details on reproducible gamuts, see “Color Space According to the COLOR SPACE Settings” (page 117).

Note

Images shot with the S-GAMUT setting will be seen in somewhat pale colors if they are reproduced on a conventional narrow color-space display, such as a CRT display.

F900: This mode enables you to shoot with color space

equivalent to that available with conventional cameras. This facilitates color matching with conventional cameras. Furthermore, as wider color-space data available with this camera can be used without restriction, distinguishability of images with higher color saturation will be improved over that with conventional cameras.

F900R: This mode enables you to shoot with color space

as close as possible to that of the HDW-F900R, by limiting the color space to that of the HDW-F900R. When using this camera in combination with the HDWF900R, use this mode for easy color matching.

Note

This mode can be selected only when “COLOR F900R” is set to “ENABLE” on the <OTHERS 2> page of the MAINTENANCE menu.

DCDM REF PJ: This mode enables color reproducibility

that is recommended by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI). The camera can output signals for display devices that can reproduce this color space, such as a DLP projector.

If a video production is to be displayed on a device that complies with the DCI standards, shooting in this mode will minimize the necessity for postproduction processes, such as color correction.

For details on menu operations, see “4-2 Basic Menu Operations” (page 57).

Indications of the ISO sensitivity and dynamic range

The ISO sensitivity value displayed on the Gain setting page is defined as “the value with which the video input becomes 20% when shooting a gray-scale chart of 18% reflection rate.” Note that the video output value with respect to this input will vary depending on the selected gamma. Either dynamic range or latitude can be selected for the indication. The value displayed with % as a dynamic range shows the limit on the high-luminance side in percentage (100%= input level) in a case where the white of the gray scale provides 100% (700 mV) output with the ITU-R709 gamma (standard gamma). The value displayed with E as a latitude shows the latitude on the high-luminance side by an f-stop value, using a gray-scale chart of 18% reflection rate as the key light. The latitude at the low-luminance side can be reproduced up to approx. –6.5 stop at 0 dB.

Chapter 3 Basic Adjustments and Settings

Note

As the dynamic range indication shows a value for the input video, the dynamic range of the output video is limited by the output settings as follows:

Basic Settings with the Subdisplay

• If a gamma other than S-LOG is selected

The upper limit is clipped according to the output video limitation specified by the gamma setting. When you select a curve as Hyper Gamma No. 4, which compresses 460% input to 109%, the output video is fed within the range up to 460% of input video even if 800% is displayed on the subdisplay as the dynamic range as the output video is limited to 109%. Using CvpFileEditor V4.0, you can change the dynamic range of Hyper Gamma and create a user gamma curve having no dynamic range limitation.

• If the white clip function is in use

As the white clip function limits the level of output video, the dynamic range specified for the input video may not be

Time code/tape remaining display page

TCR 00:00:00:00 20min

Why the ISO sensitivity is defined for 20% input

Defining the level of gray scale of 18% reflection rate for the ISO sensitivity on the linear curve (defining with input signal) permits you to use the values as the absolute reference for proper gamma conversion in postproduction. In addition, defining the output for 20% input with ITUR709 so that it becomes the reference code for Cineon curve allows high compatibility.

3-2-6 Selection of a Lens File

With this camera, the compensation data for the mounted lens can be adjusted in Custom mode and registered in the built-in memory in lens files (max. 32 files). You can invoke the compensation data for the mounted lens by merely selecting the corresponding file.

GAMMA MARK SETTING

When monitor gamma (ITU-R709) is applied to the SDI output at the MONITOR OUT connectors and the viewfinder images, you can set the camera to display the gamma mark (709 ) to indicate that gamma that is different from that used for recording is applied. (The mark is not recorded with the docked recorder.) Select GAMMA MARK SETTING on the <PB/MONI GAMMA> page to jump to the subpage for setting the gamma mark.

When you change the frame rate, the shutter angle is automatically corrected, retaining the video level.

Notes

• In Angle Compensation mode, the frame rate cannot be changed to a lower value if the shutter angle comes to near 0º, and it cannot be changed to a higher value if the shutter angle comes to near 360º.

• When you activate Angle Compensation mode, the shutter setting is automatically set to ON.

• GAIN: Gain Compensation mode

When you change the frame rate, the electric gain is automatically corrected, retaining the video level. The current shutter angle setting is maintained.

3-11-1 Using the Standard Gamma

Standard Gamma is for video and intended to be used mainly for creating broadcast contents. It is used in combination with the Knee function that adjusts the dynamic range of high-luminance areas. When STANDARD is selected on the first line of TABLE of the <GAMMA> page, you can select from among the following standard gamma curves:

USER

Chapter 3 Basic Adjustments and Settings

Gamma table No. Gamma curve

1 equivalent to SD ENG camcorder

2 equivalent to 4.5-times gain

3 equivalent to 3.5-times gain

4 equivalent to SMPTE-240M

5 equivalent to ITU-R709

6 equivalent to 5.0-times gain

It is recommended to use the No. 5 (ITU-R709) curve in normal use. As ITU-R709 provides 4.5-times gain around the black, select the No. 6 (×5) curve when you need higher contrast around the black.

Resuming the Standard Conditions

3-11-2 Using the Hyper Gamma

Hyper Gamma enables the wide dynamic range of the CCD sensors to be reproduced in smooth contrast without using the knee function. You can easily adjust whether to widely reproduce high contrast or to brightly reproduce the luminance of the intermediate tones by selecting an appropriate curve. Settings assuming usage of postproduction devices having a white limit of 100% are also provided.

Select HYPER on the first line of TABLE on the <GAMMA> page, and select the hyper gamma table most suitable to the shooting conditions and purpose.

Call the <WHITE CLIP> page of the PAINT menu and adjust the white clip level to fit the selected hyper gamma.

3-11-3 Using the S-LOG

When SPECIAL is selected on the first line of TABLE on the <GAMMA> page, the second line indicates S-LOG (Sony Log). Sony Log (S-LOG in subsequent texts) is a gamma which assumes use in the DI workflow (capturing filmed negative images and creating a digital master through digital processing for screening) in cinema production. S-LOG enables you to monitor the latitude close to negative film and perform the timing (color correction) with a Sony digital cinema camera, achieving “Digital Negative” that is the optimum negative film work flow for digital processing. With this “Digital Negative” you can have the conventional shooting style, using ISO sensitivity, luminometer and the wide latitude of negative film, enabling smooth transition from film production to digital cinema production.

Detailed information of S-LOG is described in the “SONYLOG Whitepaper.” For the “SONY-LOG Whitepaper,” consult your local Sony representative.

3-11-4 Using the User Gamma

You can also create a desired gamma table, using a personal computer on which software CvpFileEditor™ has been installed and load the table into the camera via a “Memory Stick.” When a user gamma table is selected, control of gamma (LEVEL or ON/OFF) may become disabled, depending on data of the table. This is because the gamma and knee are compulsorily fixed when creating the gamma curve. User gamma curves are initialized with S-LOG at the factory. (The characteristic data of S-LOG can be output in files, using the CvpFileEditor.)

Storage and Retrieval of User Setting Data

5-1 File Configuration

This system permits various settings and adjustment data to be stored as data files in built-in memory or a “Memory Stick” in order to facilitate later operations or adjustments. A stored data file can be retrieved, as required, to reproduce the stored setting statuses.

Note

In Cine mode, some file operations will be limited.

The following six kinds of files are designed for the system:

Operator file

This file stores operational settings not related to picture quality. At shipment, the operator file with the default settings has been stored in built-in memory. After the default settings are changed, those changed setting data can be stored as the operator file in a “Memory Stick” for later use. For file operation, use the <OPERATOR FILE> page of the USER (OPERATION) menu or that of the FILE menu.

Items stored

The setting items in the OPERATION menu (page 60) and the customized USER menu (page 84) can be stored.

Lens files

Names of different lenses and standard values for these lenses can be registered in lens files in built-in memory of the camera. When you remount the lens after using another lens, the appropriate compensation for the lens can be achieved easily by reading the file corresponding to the lens.

Creation and modification of lens files are made in Custom mode. Adjust necessary items, using the PAINT and MAINTENANCE menus or using the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit, then store the adjustment data, using

Chapter

the <LENS FILE> page of the FILE menu or using the MSU-900/950. You can back up the lens files in a “Memory Stick.”

Note

In Cine mode, only retrieval of lens files is possible. Modification of file data or file creation is not possible.

Items stored

The items that are stored in lens files are marked with “ in the “L” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items Stored in Files”.

Scene files

Scene files store data adjusted on the PAINT menu for specific scenes. For example, if you store data prepared in rehearsal for a particular scene in a scene file, the data can be retrieved to reproduce the same camera settings for the actual take. For file operation, use the <SCENE FILE> page of the PAINT or FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit for the file operation. Scene files are stored in built-in memory. You can also back up the scene files in a “Memory Stick.”

Note

In Cine mode, scene file operation is disabled.

To use 32 scene files

Set 32 SCENE FILE to ON on the <OTHERS 2> page of the MAINTENANCE menu.

Note

If you return 32 SCENE FILE” to OFF, all scene files No. 6 to 32 are initialized when you next set it to ON. (Scene files No. 1 to 5 are maintained.)

Items stored

The items that are stored in scene files are marked with “

a” in the “S” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items

Stored in Files”.

a”

Chapter 5 Storage and Retrieval of User Setting Data

File Configuration

Reference file

This file stores the standard settings of the camera that can be used as a reference when adjusting the camera. If STANDARD is executed on the <SCENE FILE> page of the PAINT menu or the <REFERENCE> page of the FILE menu, or with the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit, manually adjusted values of the camera will be reset to the reference values that have been stored in the reference file. At shipment, the reference file with the initial settings is stored in built-in memory. The initial settings can be modified, as required, then stored as the new reference file. For file operation, use the <REFERENCE> page of the FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit for file operation. You can back up the reference file in a “Memory Stick.”

Notes

• In Cine mode, the reference file data are fixed as those at shipment and cannot be modified.

• As relative adjustment values with regard to the reference file data are stored in a scene file, if data of the reference file are modified, the scene files also need

Chapter 5 Storage and Retrieval of User Setting Data

modification.

Items stored

The items that are stored in the reference file are marked with “

a” in the “R” column of the table in “5-2 List of

Items Stored in Files”.

Note

In Cine mode, the OHB file can be retrieved automatically, but the data in the OHB file cannot be modified.

Items stored

The items that are stored in the OHB file are marked with “a” in the “O” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items Stored in Files”.

User-Gamma file

The gamma-curve data (User Gamma) created using CvpFileEditor application software can be loaded to the camera via a “Memory Stick.” This enables reproduction of images closer to those that individual users wish to reproduce. For file operation, use the <USER GAMMA> page of the FILE menu. The User-Gamma file is stored in built-in memory. Backup of the User-Gamma file in a “Memory Stick” is not possible.

Note

In Cine mode, operation of the User-Gamma file via a “Memory Stick” is not possible.

OHB file

The OHB file stores the offset values of items specific to the CCD unit. For file operation, use the <OHB FILE> page of the FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit for this operation.

File Configuration

5-2 List of Items Stored in Files

The items that are stored in scene files, the reference file, the lens files, and the OHB file are listed in the table below.

5-3-6 Reading of the User Gamma

Adjusting the ND offset values

If an ND filter is attached to the matte box, etc., the white balance may be in variance. In such a case, adjust the ND offset so that you can retrieve the white balance compensation value using the ND filter selection page on the subdisplay. The offset values ND: 2 to 5 are stored with respect to the white balance stored for ND: 1 as the reference.

To read out gamma-curve (User Gamma) data that have been created using CvpFileEditor application software from the “Memory Stick,” use the <USER GAMMA> page of the FILE menu.
