FS700U/R Services.
Colorado video camera
crews with DOP/DP or videographer
Prefer shooting with AVCHD or XAVC or 4K? Mister Photon
is there for you with the Sony
FS700R or the FS7 cameras, among other cameras from
Sony. We also can record up to 4k externally as well to
other formats such as ProRes or DNxHD. We also have the
ability to capture raw video straight from the cameras
sensor to our Atomos Samurai Flame recorder to either
DNxHD or QuickTime ProRes enabling our clients the best
possible, and easiest to work with video footage, allowing
them immediate editing.
Aside from our FS700R or FS7 video services, Our camera
formats are diverse from AVC HD (AVCHD or AVCAM), XDCAM
HD or SD, DSLR, DVCPRO HD, P2, HDV, RED, HDCAM, GoPro,
QuickTime 422 in variable bit rates including ProRes,
Avid DNxHD and standard definition video camera packages
are also available. If you would like to learn about al
of our camera formats, please visit
our gear page. If you need a well equipped DP/DOP
(director of photography) or an entire video crew with
these cameras, we provide these services as well. These
popular camera formats have a similar list of model nicknames;
one for the Sony NEX FS700 (sometimes called the FS700,
FS 700UK, FS 700U or FS700R) among other terms, with the
model officially named the NEX FS700U or NEX FS700R).
The other the PXW-FS7 is a XAVC HD format camera similar
in design but larger. Both are 4k capable cameras, with
FS7 recording internally 4K the other FS700 recording
externally. The FS700R can output 4k with internal HD
recording as AVCHD 1080 or 720 simultaneously. The FS700R
Model that we own has the 4K expansion, that the FS700U
does not. We own the FS700R model.
About the
Sony NEX-FS700 camera
The camera has a 35mm sensor and an E mount lens system,
and can also be adapted to other lens systems. Adapter
mounts enable PL, DSLR and A Mount lenses that can be
used, as well, B4 2/3 lenses. E Mount or PL lenses work
best or A DSLR lens with a fixed F-Stop on the camera
in either EF or EFS lenses. The camera has depth of field
similar to DSLR cameras, the Sony F3, the Panasonic AG
AF100, RED, ARRI Alexa among other 35mm sensor cameras.
EF mount Canon lens & MetaBones type adapters are
ideal with this camera, especially with a fixed f-stop
or manual iris control being better, which also includes
the FS7 as well.
The advantages of this camera include synced sound, external
recording and internal recording to a Sony Flash recording
or SDHC cards. You can also use the HDMI or HD-SDI to
record with an external recorder like a Nanoflash, Sound
Devices pix recorder or other recorders as well like Black
Magic, Atomos, Convergent Design recorder, among others.
The camera also has a 4K upgrade and also can output 4k
video to external recorder by the HD SDI connection with
embedded audio; this model being the FS700R having the
4k upgrade unlocked. The camera is larger than a DSLR
and has more expansion, along with synced audio, that
is highly desirable for editors. The camera's synced audio
definitely beats the Drawbacks of DSLR and external audio
recording, and has the audio synced to the video when
using the cameras XLR inputs. The XLR inputs are the best
method for inputting balanced, clean sounding audio into
any camera or recording.
The camera has balanced XLR inputs, the best input method
and most common for professional audio, and outputs video
and audio via the HDMI or SDI ports as well. The camera
is similar to the Panasonic AG AF100, and the F3, but
when upgraded to 4k, (featured in the R model), the increased
resolution makes the camera more desirable for motion
picture production (2x the resolution over the AF100 or
the F3). The camera has many built in anchor points for
accessories and mounting to tripods, jibs, sliders, or
camera rigs as well.
The camera shoots to AVCHD and also can output RAW and
outputs up to 4K to an external recorder that can record
additional formats simultaneously. This internal AVCHD
format uses a type of H264 recording for the FS700 U or
R. The camera can also record to Sony's dock able flash
recorders in additional to other manufacturers recorders.
The camera also has an advantage of built in high speed
recording / over cranking function as well that creates
slow motion effects.
High Speed Overcranking
up to 240 fps in 1080, burst up to 960
These cameras have the higher frame rates over XDCAM
when over cranking. The high speed recording is better
than the F3, and PDW or PMW series XDCAM cameras as you
can record full 1080p at 240 frames per second, compared
to the XDCAM limited to 30 or 60p with F3, EX3, or EX1
or PDW F330, 350, 700 or F800. You can also record up
to 960 frames per second (FPS) in burst mode.

About the Sony PXW-FS7
camera
The camera also has a 35mm sensor and an E mount lens system
that can be adapted to Canon or Nikon Mount EF or EFS lenses,
or PL lenses. Adapter mounts enable PL, DSLR and A Mount lenses
to be used, as well, B4 2/3 lenses, just like the FS700 camera.
Most all the other specifications are similar on the AVCHD format,
but the camera also shoots a XAVC HD codec as well as a MPEG 720
or 1080 recording capability.
The XAVC Codec requires newer non linear editing software to
open and edit as well natively, as it is a newer video codec than
AVCHD. The FS7 camera has a similar body style to the FS700U but
the viewfinder is in a different location to the side of the camera
among some other differences.
You can also over-crank with this camera like the Sony FS700.
Overcranking is recording at a higher frame rate that creates
a slow motion effect, and is more pronounced at more frames recorded
per second.
The menu structure and camera command functions are also similar
to the FS700U camera as well. But the key difference is the FS700R
outputs 4K, and the FS7 records it internally, and can output
4K as well.
Additional Gear and Other Cameras are Available

Aside these cameras our camera inventory is amply equipped with
other cameras, lighting in HMI, fluorescent, tungsten, chimeras,

FS700U vs, the Sony FS700R
The FS700U is a 1080 format camera, whereas the FS700R is a 1080,
as well 4K format camera. The R is designating the upgrade to
4K, with the camera able to record 720 or 1080, as well outputting
a 4K or UHD signal out of the HD-SDI ports enabling more recording
possibilities. |
Why
shoot with the Sony FS700 camera or FS7?
The future 4k upgrade of these cameras, the
lenses available, and high speed recording
are great, along with synced audio, depth
of field and higher ISO with less noise make
these cameras very appealing. You can also
view the AVC HD files with many computers
and play back from the camera for clients
on the spot, as well 4K files can be played
with the right resources.
Why for Cinema Production, Films or Documentary ? If
your looking for the film look, done faster
than shooting 16mm or 35mm film, and have
to adapt quickly to shots, as opposed to modifying
for shots restricted by film stock, lighting
conditions, magazine length, etc - then the
FS700 or FS7 is an ideal camera. Separate
time code from audio or separate audio from
picture is common to DSLR or motion picture
film with many DSLR cameras is another issue.
DSLR cameras without time code or synced audio
can increase editing time increasing your
production costs.
Who Else For? Any adaptable camera person
or crew can use these cameras and hand of
footage to any client with acquired or we
can do this. The digital video files can be
opened with ease in Windows, Unix & Mac
operating systems, and can also be sent over
networks without file data corruption or loss
of functionality over multiple operating systems.
For AVCHD common editing applications include
Sony Vegas, Corel Studio, Windows Movie Maker,
Final Cut X & Pro, Avid, and Adobe Premiere
or After Effects or Creative Cloud; all able
to edit and manage the footage. For XAVC I
or L used in the Sony FS7 later versions of
AVID, Adobe CC or Final Cut X are needed and
recommended for efficiency.
