any client needs to the scale as well.
About our
Sony PXW-FS7 camera
This camera has a super 35mm sensor and a native E-mount
lens system that can be adapted to Canon or Nikon Mount
EF or EFS lenses, or PL lenses or Sony A-mount lenses.
Adapter mounts enable PL, DSLR and A-mount lenses to be
used, as well, B4 2/3 lenses, just like the FS700 camera
or other E-Mount Sony cameras. Other lens manufacturers
like Rokinon, Tamron, Tokina, Sigma among others whom
make Canon EF mount or EFS mount lenses can also be adapted
to this camera. Sony is the maker of E-mount lens at this
time but non E-mount lenses are available to work with
this camera. The FS7 camera records a XAVC HD codec in
I mode, or a lesser data rate or L, for LONG GOP. The
camera can also record MPEG 720p or 1080i or p recording
capability. XAVC-I or L are higher bit rate recordings
and enable up to 4K standard or UHD/Ultra HD format recordings
making the camera a choice for any type of production
in internet, video, television, film or other specific
genre production. The camera can also record in Hyper
gamma modes with is a HDR/WDR mode or S-Log 2 or 3.
The XAVC Codec works with recent non-linear editing software
to open and edit as well natively, as it is a newer video
codec than AVCHD. Sony
among others make software to view the footage and edit
it as well.
You can also use the Sony
XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit for PXW-FS7 to output RAW
12bit 2K or 4K, as well record ProRes. We also own this
extension that enables time code via BNC connections as
well. The XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit, and can also output
RAW to record ProRes externally via our Atomos Inferno
recorder with resolutions up to 4K. With our Atomos recorded
we can record 4K ProRes as well, that is often a popular
post production codec used by many editors.
You can also over-crank with this camera like the Sony
FS700 or the FS7. Over cranking is recording at higher
frame rates that creates a slow motion effect, and is
more pronounced at more frames per second/fps. Frame rates
recorded at lower or standard playback speeds such as
24, 25, 30 frames per second. Over cranking is considered
60+ fps recording, and the higher the frame rate the smoother
or slower effect occurs on frame rate increase.
The SONY FS7's menu structure and camera command functions
are also similar to the FS700U/R camera as well. But the
key difference is the FS700R outputs 4K, and the FS7 records
it internally, and can also output 4K as well. There are
other differences as well from these cameras with the
FS7 having more control over gamma, as well HDR/high dynamic
range among color profiles and other control. These cameras
both share the same lens mount system being the E-Mount.
With the FS700 4k recording is done via the HD-SDI output.
High Speed Over
cranking up to 240 fps in 1080 HD
This camera has the higher frame rates over XDCAM when
over cranking. The high speed recording is better than
the F3, and many of the PDW or PMW series XDCAM cameras
as you can record full 1080p at 240 frames per second
using the XDCA-FS7 pack and appropriate recorder. It can
record 180 fps/frames per second without the unit to record
1080 HD compared to the XDCAM limited to 30 or 60p with
F3, EX3, or EX1 or PDW F330, 350, 700 or F800 among some
others. The FS7 can also record 60fps 4K as well or higher
rates in 2K or 1080 or 720 with overcrank specs similar
to the Red Epic or Scarlet. Read
more about it by Google here. Please remember
in 4K at 60 fps, the data rate almost doubles, (for your
disk storage planning).
Additional Gear and Other Cameras are Available

Why
hire our Sony FS7 video crew?
Hiring a crew like ours with the FS7 that
records 1080, 2K & 4K video formats, with
the lenses available, and high speed recording
are great. This camera has synced audio, depth
of field and higher ISO with less noise make
this camera very appealing. You can view 4K
live from the camera via the HDMI or the XDCA-FS7
Extension Unit's DSI port to a monitor or
recorder with the capability as well. If you
need a crew located in Denver as well with
this camera or others, Mister Photon Media
is a great fit due to our capabilities as
well experience in Denver, across Colorado,
among other states, as well in other countries.
Why choose the PXW-FS7 for features/cinema
production, other types of films, documentary
production, TV or video production ? If
you're looking for the film look, done much
cheaper & faster than filming with 16mm
or 35mm film, and have to adapt quickly to
shots, as opposed to modifying set elements
or lighting for shots restricted by film stock,
lighting conditions, magazine length, etc.,
then the PXW-FS7 is an ideal camera, especially
if you only have one camera. Recording separate
time code from audio or separate audio from
picture is common to DSLR or motion picture
film camera production, (using film stock)
is another additional step in post production.
DSLR cameras or older film cameras without
time code or synced audio can increase editing
time increasing your production costs, in
particular when poor sound recordings are
made requiring ADR or other post production
steps that may need to occur.
Any adaptable camera person or crew can this
camera and hand off great looking footage
to any type of client. The digital video files
can be opened with ease in Windows, Unix &
Mac operating systems with the right software
& hardware resources including Sony's
RAW Viewer. For XAVC-I or L used in the
Sony FS7 later versions of AVID
Media Composer, Adobe
Premiere Pro CC/Creative Cloud or Apple
Final Cut X are are recommended NLE/non
linear editors for efficiency, but are readily
available solutions. When outputting RAW video
from the camera sensor common formats such
as QuickTime ProRes or AVID DNxHD can also
be recorded with an external recorder, (like
our Atomos Inferno), making the footage more
accessible and simpler to work with.
