SONY PXW-FS7 CAMERAMAN

I own a Sony PXW-FS7, which has caused quite a buzz in the industry since its launch. As well as producing fantastic quality images, it gives 4k recording ability and 180fps slow motion. All using 35mm lenses to create that shallow depth of field film look.

The FS7 is capable of recording 14 stops of latitude in SLog3. This means that you can keep more detail in the shadow and highlight areas such as the sky which other cameras can struggle with. This means that if you have time for a grade, you will have a lot of information for a colorist to play with to create a fantastic looking result. But if you don’t want your footage to look flat straight out of the FS7, don’t worry.

It is possible to ‘bake’ in a look such as Rec 709 standard Gamma. This will give you a straight to air look if you have no time to grade. Making the Sony FS7 a versatile tool for both corporate and broadcast filming.
