Sony FX30 Digital Cinema Camera

16:9] resolution, exceeding DCI-4K resolution. A selection of Creative Looks to create interesting moods right in the camera A selection of Creative Looks makes it easy to create interesting moods right in the camera. The Creative Look presets can be used as is, or further customized using individual parameter settings such as hue, color depth, brightness, contrast, and sharpness. Fine adjustment of preset looks can be made according to the user's preference, and favorite settings can be registered as custom looks. Sophisticated focus functions to handle any situation The FX30 makes fast, accurate focusing as easy as possible. AF Assist smoothly switches between auto and manual focus, it enables easy rack focusing, and it can save time even when you are primarily using manual focus. Focus Map makes it easy to visualize depth of field while shooting and Breathing Compensation provides a stable angle of view when rack focusing by minimizing the field-of-view shift that can occur with some lenses. Additional breathing compensation is also available in post-production software supported by camera metadata. Uninterrupted 4K 60p recording with cooling fan ventilation For uninterrupted 4K 60p recording, the FX30 features an innovative heat dissipation structure, including a unique Sony (sigma) shaped graphite-alloy heatsink. A complete internal redesign optimized the camera's airflow and heatsink placement. When required, a silent cooling fan provides ventilation for continuous recording at full resolution, with intake and exhaust air structurally isolated to maintain strong dust and moisture resistance. Metadata to facilitate editing with Catalyst Browse and Prepare software Sony's Catalyst Browse and Prepare software are ideal production partners for the FX30. The camera records five types of metadata: LUTs, image stabilization, focus breathing, camera rotation and shot marks. These can be useful when previewing and preparing to edit in Sony's free Catalyst Browse or purchased Catalyst Prepare software Proxy recording for efficient editing workflow Low-bitrate HD proxy files can be recorded simultaneously in nearly all recording formats. The smaller proxy video files can be used for editing previews prior to final 4K online editing, reducing computer load and enabling a faster workflow Time code input synchronization capability The FX30 can be synchronized (TC-IN) to a second camera that has a time code output terminal by connecting the FX30's Multi/Micro USB terminal to the time code source via an optional VMC-BNCM1 adapter and standard BNC cable. Still image shooting function Because the FX30 can shoot stills as well as movies, it can be handy to use when you are location hunting. For example, you can use it to shoot stills that will be used in storyboards or pre-production presentations. New list-style main menu for quick access to frequently used items The camera's new list-style main menu gives you access to frame rate, shutter speed, and other essential shooting parameters. Main menu display can be assigned to a custom button so that parameters can be quickly checked and edited as needed prior to shooting.
