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.
The F65 is available in two models: models equipped with
a mechanical rotary shutter (serial numbers 10001 to
19999) and models equipped without a mechanical rotary
shutter (serial numbers 50001 to 59999).
About this document
In this document, the serial numbers are used to indicate
where there are differences between the two models.
Where there are no differences, the model with a
mechanical rotary shutter is described.
Superior picture quality and high
performance
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.
Chapter
Multiple frame formats
The camera supports 3840/4096-pixel wide formats for
high-end content creation, including commercial and
broadcasting program production as well as movie
making.

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) Available on models with serial numbers 10001 to 19999.
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.

Basic Adjustments and
Settings
3-1 Basic Operation of the Camera
The F65 does not perform processing of images on-site,
instead you shoot in a mode that presumes images will be
processed in post-production, in much the same way you
would operate a film camera.
When shooting, the camera gain is fixed and the sensitivity
is set using a light meter. The base sensitivity is EI 800, and
can be adjusted over a range of ± 2 stops in 1/3 stop
increments. When the sensitivity is set to a value higher
than the base EI 800, the main camera output signal
becomes darker. However, the gain of the images in the
viewfinder and on the monitor connected to the SDI OUT
connector are automatically adjusted in response to the
sensitivity setting to provide appropriate monitoring
capability while shooting.
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.
