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.
• In order to use the various functions described in this
manual, the software version of each connected device
must be as follows.
F65: V4.00 or later
SR-R4: V4.00 or later
SR-CP1: V4.00 or later
CA4000: V2.0 or later
BPU4000: V2.0 or later
In addition, when operating the system with a CA4000
and BPU4000 connected, the SY_PLD of the F65 must
be V4.000-01 or later. For details, contact your local
Sony representative.
• The description in this manual assumes an F65 camera
fitted with the CBK-65EL upgrade kit.
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 35-
mm 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 high-
grade 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.
Multiple frame formats
The camera supports 3840/4096-pixel wide images for
high-end content creation, including commercial and
broadcasting program production as well as movie
making.
The camera supports the following formats.
F65RAW mode: 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p,
S47.95 (Select FPS), S48 (Select FPS), S59.94p (Select
FPS), S60p (Select FPS)
F65RAW-HFR mode: S119.88p (Select FPS), S120p
(Select FPS), 100P (when connected to a CA4000/
BPU4000 system), 119.88P (when connected to a
CA4000/BPU4000 system)
HD mode: 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p,
S59.94p (Select FPS), S60p (Select FPS)
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.
HD shooting
When used with the SR-R4 recorder, the camera can also
shoot images in HD mode, in addition to RAW mode.
SR-R4 version 1.4 or later is required to record in HD.
HFR (high frame rate) mode
Supports recording at 120 frames per second. Frame rates
from 1 to 120 fps can be selected using Select FPS.
