Features
New 36×24 mm Full Frame CMOS
Image Sensor
Supports image capture at resolutions up to 6048
× 4032 pixels.* By switching the imager mode, the
unit can natively support many shooting formats,
including Super 35 24.3 × 12.8 mm, 4096 × 2160
pixel resolution (equivalent to 3-perforation
motion picture film) and 4:3 Anamorphic* Super
35 24.3 × 18.3 mm, 4096 × 3024 pixel resolution
(equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film).
* Full Frame and Anamorphic modes require licenses sold
separately.
Wide Latitude
The unit supports 15+ stops of latitude. It features
very low noise for delivering phenomenal images
in conditions from searing sunlight to almost
no light, allowing for unprecedented creative
freedom in grading.
Wide Color Space Capture
ISO2500 under low light conditions allows you
to maintain the latitude balance between bright
and low light conditions when shooting, without
graining (noise).
PL Lens Mount
Equipped with the industry-standard PL lens
mount. The lens mount supports Cooke /i
technology, and lens information is recorded as
metadata frame by frame.
E Mount Lens
E mount lenses are supported by removing the PL
lens adaptor. E mount lenses are smaller and lighter
than PL lenses, and are available in a diverse lineup for
expanded possibilities in image reproduction.
Compact Body and Intuitive
Operation
Engineered to Survive
The chassis is made from magnesium alloy for
high robustness and durability. The ventilation
system is completely isolated from all electronic
components to prevent ingress of dust, sand, and
liquids.*
The silent-running fan can be cleaned or even
swapped out on set quickly and easily to maintain
high redundancy.
* Design protects against dust and rain, but cannot
completely prevent the ingress of dust and liquid.
Modular Design
Features a fully modular design, allowing you
to flexibly support various rigs and peripheral
equipment according to the shooting application.
The top handle and viewfinder are easily adjustable
to maintain ergonomic balance and ease of use with
lenses. The height of the optical axis is the same
as the PMW-F55, permitting the use of peripheral
devices used with the PMW-F55. And an optional
AXS-R7 Portable Memory Recorder can be securely
attached to the rear of the unit using four hex
screws.
Intuitive and Familiar On-Set
Operation
The menu screen is available from both sides of
the camera, with the main control display on the
Assistant side of the camera for fast access to the
camera settings by the camera assistant while
shooting.
An OLED mini display on the Operator side allows
the operator to access commonly accessed
features such as ND filter position, shutter, white
balance, exposure index (EI), and frame rate (FPS),
making it convenient for the operator to check the
status of the unit.
Various Recording Formats
The unit supports recording on SxS memory cards
in XAVC 4K/QFHD, MPEG HD, and HD ProRes 422
formats. In addition, it can record in 16-bit RAW or
X-OCN format onto AXS memory cards when used
in combination with an optional AXS-R7 Portable
Memory Recorder.
Images can be captured in a color space that
exceeds DCI-P3. The degree of freedom in the
grading is dramatically improved when using
Sony’s S-Gamut and S-Gamut3.Cine color space
together with S-Log3.
Dual Base ISO
The unit supports two selectable native ISO
settings (ISO500 and ISO2500). Using Base ISO500
under normal lighting conditions and Base
A relatively compact design for a device equipped
with a large Full Frame image sensor, achieved
using Sony’s miniaturization technology, which
allows easier shooting in confined spaces or on
drones.
The position, shape, and size of the control
buttons reflect the requirements of camera
operators for intuitive operation. They also feature
backlighting for ease of use in dark locations.
8-Position Optical ND Filter
Employs an 8-position optical ND filter. It offers
a wide ND range of 0.3ND (1/2 = 1 stop) to
2.4ND (1/256 = 8 stops) that reduces time lost
on set changing external ND filters. The ND filter
mechanism is servo-controllable.
Imager Block Extension
The imager block can be extended from the
camera body by 2.7 m (8.9 ft) or 5.5 m (18 ft) by
connecting the CBK-3610XS* Camera Extension
System.
* Update the firmware to version 3.0 or later.

by hand.
Checking the remaining battery charge
When recording or playback is in progress using
the battery pack, the current battery remaining
time and battery voltage are displayed on the sub
display screen (page 29) and viewfinder/monitor
screen (page 12).
The unit indicates the remaining usage time in
minutes by calculating the available time with
the battery pack if operation is continued at the
current rate of power consumption.
If the remaining battery charge becomes low
If the remaining battery charge decreases to a
certain level during operation, the remaining
battery capacity indicator flashes and the REC
lamp flashes to warn you.
If the remaining charge further decreases to a
level at which operation cannot be continued, a
battery-empty message appears.
Replace the battery pack with one that is fully
charged.
To change the message levels
Change levels using Technical > Battery
(page 64) in the full menu.
Using AC Power (DC IN Power)
The unit works with AC power using the AC-DN10
(optional) or AC-DN2B AC adaptor (optional) and
CCDD-X2 DC cable (optional).
11 V to 17 V and 22 V to 32 V input voltage ranges
are supported.
[Notes]
When switching to the DC IN power supply during battery
operation, use a power supply with a voltage in the range
12V to 17 V.
When using a 22 V to 32 V power supply, first set the
power switch to the OFF position before connecting the
power supply.
Do not switch directly from a 11 V to 17 V power supply to
a 22 V to 32 V power supply, or vice versa. This may cause
a malfunction.
Using a Battery Pack and DC IN
Power Supply Together

format.
[Notes]
If the setting is changed, playback is not possible on
Sony camcorders and VTRs other than the MPC-3610
and PMW-PZ1 (setting must be changed on PMWPZ1).
Changes to volume label name and root folder name
are applied when recording starts.
On media in which the root folder name has been set
to Camera ID naming format, the root folder name
cannot be reset to “XDROOT” using this setting.
The root folder is set to “XDROOT” when media is
formatted.
If media recorded with a root folder name in Camera
ID naming format is inserted into a device that does
not support Camera ID naming format (including
Venice V2.0 or earlier), an XDROOT folder is created
and recognized as the root folder (because a root
folder in Camera ID naming format cannot be
recognized).

attached to the unit and power is supplied to
them.
2 Set the power switch (page 7) to the ON
position.
The recording screen is displayed on the
viewfinder screen.
3 Load the memory card(s).
If you load two AXS memory card or SxS
memory cards, recording is continued by
automatically switching to the second card
when the first card becomes full.
[Note]
The cards do not switch automatically during
simultaneous recording.

).
5 To stop recording, press the REC button again.
Recording stops and the unit enters STBY
(recording standby) mode.
When you stop recording, the video, audio,
and subsidiary data from the start to the end
of the recording are recorded as a single clip.
Clip names
Clip names are recorded using the “Cam ID +
Reel#” format. The clip name is created according
to the following rules.
When there is already a clip that is stored using
the “Cam ID + Reel#” name format on the
inserted SxS memory card or AXS memory card,
the new file inherits from the last file.
Example: If “B002C003_XXXXXXXX” exists on the
AXS memory card, the next created clip will be
named “B002C004_XXXXXXXX.”
If the inserted AXS memory card has no files, “1”
is added to the Reel Number of the clip that was
recorded last.
Example: If you record on empty card 2 after
recording up to “D001CXXX_XXXXXXXX” on
card 1, the next created clip will be named
“D002C001_XXXXXXXX.” The clip name is
displayed underlined until recording starts.
If you set Camera ID and Reel Number using TC/
Media category > Clip Naming in the menu, that
information is applied.
Example: If you change Camera ID to “F” and
Reel Number to “001” in the menu for the
AXS memory card that has recorded up to
“E003CXXX_XXXXXXXX,” the next clip will
be named “F001CXXX_XXXXXXXX.” When
you change Camera ID only, Reel Number is
changed to “001.”
Maximum duration of a clip
The maximum single clip length that you can
record to an SxS memory card is 6 hours. The
maximum recording time is 24 hours.
Recording will span clips if the recording time
exceeds the maximum clip duration.
Recording stops when the recording time reaches
24 hours.

Useful Functions
Simultaneous Recording
You can simultaneously record two sizes of
pictures on an SxS memory card in one slot. You
can also simultaneously record an HD signal on an
SxS memory card in the unit while recording video
and audio in RAW format on the AXS-R7.
You can perform simultaneous recording using
Project category > AXS Rec Format and SxS Rec
Format or SxS Rec Format and Sub Rec Format
in the menu as described in “Recording Format
Settings” (page 44).
In 1-slot simultaneous recording, the XAVC 4K
Class480/XAVC 4K Class300/XAVC QFHD Class480/
XAVC QFHD Class300 clip is recorded in the
XDROOT/Clip directory on the SxS memory card,
but the MPEG2 1920×1080 clip is recorded in the
XDROOT/Sub directory on the SxS memory card.
The suffix “S02” is appended to the end of the clip
name.
Picture Cache Recording
The unit always maintains a cache of video and
audio data for a set interval (maximum of 30
seconds) in memory when shooting, allowing you
to record several seconds of footage before the
start of recording.
When you start recording with Project > Special
Recording > Cache Rec Select (page 54) set
to On in the full menu, video of duration set by
Project > Special Recording > Cache Rec Duration
(page 55) is recorded retroactively.
You can also turn picture cache recording on/
off using an assignable button assigned with the
Picture Cache Rec function.
[Notes]
Restrictions to the Cache Rec Duration setting may apply,
depending on the system frequency, recording format,
and recording media. For details, see page 55.
Changing system settings, such as the recording format,
clears all images stored in memory. Consequently, images
shot just before changing settings cannot be recorded, if
recording is started immediately after changing settings.
Picture cache mode is automatically released.
Picture cache mode recording is not available during
1-slot simultaneous recording or AXS/SxS simultaneous
recording.
The picture cache settings cannot be changed during
recording.
When recording in MPEG 422 at low shooting frame rates,
it may take some time to stop recording or to switch
between memory cards.
Recording Review (Rec Review)
You can review the last recorded clip on the
screen by assigning the Rec Review function to
one of assignable buttons 1 to 4 (page 37).
When you stop recording and press the button
assigned with Rec Review, the clip is played at
normal speed starting from the first frame.
The clip is played to the end, then Rec Review
ends and the unit returns to STBY (recording
standby) mode.
If the HOME button is pressed on the Operator
side or Assistant side during playback, playback
stops and the unit switches to shooting mode.
High-Definition Focus Magnifier
Function
By pressing the FOCUS MAG button of the
viewfinder (DVF-EL200, DVF-L700) attached to
the unit, you can expand the center part of the
viewfinder, making it is easier to adjust the focus.
The magnified display does not affect the recorded
image or output signal.
Normal focus magnification reduces the resolution
because it simply magnifies a part of the displayed
image. However, the two-times (×2) focusing
by the unit provides focus magnification while
maintaining the display resolution by cutting out
the portion to magnify from the 4K signal instead
of the recorded image or other output signal.
Four-times (×4) focus magnification selection
is also supported using the 4K image cutout
function.
The FOCUS MAG button magnification sequence
can be changed using Monitoring > VF Display >
VF Magnifier Ratio (page 61) in the full menu.
When VF Magnifier Ratio is set to ×2.0/×4.0, the
magnification sequence each time you press
assignable buttons 1 to 4 assigned with VF Focus
Magnifier is ×2.0 ×4.0 ×1.0 ×2.0.

External Synchronization
When shooting with multiple units, synchronized
recording can be performed using a specific
reference signal to synchronize the timecode
among all the units.
Synchronizing the Phase of the Video
Signal (Genlock)
Genlock operation is enabled by supplying one of
the following reference signals to the GENLOCK IN
connector (page 10) of the unit.
HDSDI 1.5G digital (Interlaced or PsF)
HD Y analog
SD VBS analog
Set the genlock input signal using Technical >
Genlock > Input Source (page 65) in the full
menu.
Valid input reference signals vary depending on
the project frame rate setting.

You can check the genlock status using Technical
> Genlock > Reference Lock Type (page 65) in
the menu.
[Notes]
If the reference signal is unstable, genlock is not possible.
The subcarrier is not synchronized.
Synchronizing the Timecode with
Another Device
Set the unit that supplies the timecode to a mode
in which the timecode output keeps advancing
(Free Run mode).
1 Set TC/Media > Timecode > Mode (page 56)
in the menu to Preset F-Run (Ext-Lk).
2 Supply an HD or SD reference video signal to
the GENLOCK IN connector (page 10) and a
reference timecode synchronized with that
signal to the TC IN (page 10) connector.
The built-in timecode generator of your unit locks
to the reference timecode, and the message “ExtLk” is displayed on the screen.
Once about ten seconds have elapsed after
the timecode locks, the external lock state is
maintained even if the external timecode source is
disconnected.
[Notes]
Check that the reference timecode and the reference
video signal are in a phase relationship that complies with
the SMPTE timecode standards.
When you finish the above procedure, the timecode is
immediately synchronized with the external timecode,
and the time data indication will show the value of the
external timecode. However, wait for a few seconds until
the timecode generator stabilizes before recording.
If the frequency of the reference video signal and the
frame frequency are not the same, lock cannot be
acquired, and the unit will not operate properly. If this
occurs, the timecode will not acquire successful lock with
the external timecode.
When the connection is removed, the timecode advance
may shift one frame per hour with respect to the
reference timecode.
To release external lock
Change the TC/Media > Timecode > Mode
(page 56) setting in the menu.

malfunction, such as picture irregularity, etc.
The screens may become warm in use. This is
not a malfunction.
LCD Panels
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured
with high precision technology, giving a
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a
very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”,
either always off (black), always on (red, green, or
blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period
7. Appendix: Usage Precautions
000
84
of use, because of the physical characteristics of
the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may
appear spontaneously.
These problems are not a malfunction.
Note that any such problems have no effect on
recorded data.
OLED Panels
The OLED panel fitted to this unit is manufactured
with high precision technology, giving a
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a
very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”,
either always off (black), always on, or flashing.
In addition, over a long period of use, because
of the physical characteristics of the organic
light-emitting diode, such “stuck” pixels may
appear spontaneously. These problems are not a
malfunction. Note that any such problems have no
effect on recorded data.
Due to the characteristics of the material used in
the OLED panel, permanent burn-in or reduction
in brightness may occur.
These problems are not a malfunction.
On Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm
location, or if ambient temperature suddenly
rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of
the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known
as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off
the unit and wait until the condensation clears
before operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image
Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in
images are specific to CMOS (Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors. They
do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CMOS image sensors are produced
with high-precision technologies, fine white
flecks may be generated on the screen in rare
cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is related
to the principle of image sensors and is not a
malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the
following cases.
When operating at high environmental
temperatures
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they
may appear jagged or flicker.
Focal plane
Owing to the characteristics of the pickup
elements (CMOS sensors) for reading video signals,
subjects that quickly move across the screen may
appear slightly skewed.
Flashbanding
The luminance at the top and bottom of the
screen may change when shooting a flashlight
beam or a light source that quickly flashes.
Flicker
If recording is made under lighting produced
by discharge tubes, such as fluorescent, sodium,
or mercury-vapor lamps, the screen may flicker,
colors may vary, or horizontal stripes may appear
distorted.
Notes on the Display
Pictures on the viewfinder screen may be
distorted by the following operations.
– Changing the video format
When you change the line of sight in the
viewfinder, you may see primary colors red,
green, and blue, but this is not a defect of the
unit. These primary colors are not recorded on
any recording media.
Fragmentation
If pictures cannot be recorded/reproduced
properly, try formatting the recording medium.
While repeating picture recording/playback with
a certain recording media for an extended period,
files in the media may be fragmented, disabling
proper recording/storage. In such a case, make
a backup of clips in the media then perform
formatting of the media using TC/Media > Format
Media (page 57) in the menu.
Output Voltages of the Unit
The total output power that can be supplied to
