Sony PXW-FS7 4K XDCAM Professional Camcorder
- Body Only The PXW-FS7 reflects years of intense conversations we’ve had with documentary shooters. In response, we completely redesigned the grip, enhanced the viewfinder, optimized the balance & refined the ergonomics. Of course, the FS7 also reflects Sony’s expertise in 4K & HD codecs, Super 35 sensors & memory recording. The result is the ideal camera for documentaries—and the optimum tool for magazine shows, reality TV, unscripted TV & more.
Features: From freestyle skiing to water sprays to pyrotechnics, High Frame Rates underscore the beauty & drama of everyday motion. That’s why the FS7 provides continuous recording at Full HD at frame rates of up to 180 fps. When you play back at 23.98p, you’ll enjoy extraordinary Super Slow Motion of up to 7.5x. Compared to burst mode, the continuous recording of the FS7 reduces mistimed shots & extra takes. The camera also provides Slow & Quick motion from 1 fps to 180 fps, in 1 fps increments. This enables time lapse effects to make the clouds race by or flowers bloom before your eyes. & for even higher frame rates, you can attach the XDCA-FS7 extension unit & connect an outboard recorder, both sold separately, for 2K RAW recording at up to 240 fps. This creates 10x Super Slow Motion when played at 23.98p. A handheld camera should be able to get you into tight places. To work in your lap. To move with the talent. To shoot high & low angles with equal facility. & a handheld camera should function beautifully against your chest or shoulder, comfortably steadied by your right h&. The Sony FS7 does all of this, & more. The built-in shoulder pad makes for stable shoulder-style shooting, while the curved back sits comfortably against your chest. Sony designed the PXW-FS7 to stand up to the rigors of real-world shooting. The frame is magnesium, for high rigidity & light weight. Buttons, dials & other parts are sealed to prevent dust & water spray from entering. Cooling is an urgent requirement in a high-speed 4K camera. That’s why Sony engineers developed special heat pipes that whisk heat away from the electronics & into a remote heat sink. An air duct cools the heat sink while isolating the electrical components from exposure to dust & water spray. A pair of heat pipes draws heat away from the electrical components & into the cooling duct. The duct dissipates accumulated heat, while its sealed design prevents the entry of dust, dirt & water spray. The FS7 supports 4-channel audio input. In application such as interview, this function enables the simultaneous use of an external microphone for recording ambient sounds, the built-in microphone for voice memos by the operator, & two optional UWP Series wireless microphones for voice of interviewer & interviewee. In addition, by the use of an optional XLR adapter “XLR-K2M” or ”XLR-K1M” which provides additional 2 XLR inputs, possible applications are further expanded. You don't need a matte box to get the advantages of shallow depth of field even in exterior day shoots. A built-in Neutral Density (ND) filter wheel
