Sony PMW-F3 User Manual

A breakthrough in cost performance, the Sony PMW-F3 starts at $16,000 MSRP. Here’s a true
Super 35mm image sensor designed from the ground up for moving pictures. So you’ll get
gorgeous images without gotchas like aliasing and moiré. The PL mount works directly with
the 35mm cinema lenses you love. The on-board XDCAM EX™ recording takes advantage of
Sony’s well-established post workfl ow. Even RGB output is an option (expected availability Fall
2011). With all the facilities of a true camcorder, the F3 is everything you expect. And beyond.
