The Sony PMW-F5 CineAlta Digital Cinema Camera features an 8.9 MP Super35 image sensor capable of capturing 2K and HD internally in Sony's XAVC codec onto SxS PRO+ memory cards, and 4K and 2K raw to an optional Sony AXS-R5 external recorder. It features 14 stops of dynamic range, applicable to both raw and XAVC recording as long as S-Log is turned on, for truly filmlike rendering of highlights and shadows. The camera natively features an FZ mount and includes a PL-mount adapter.
Out of the box, the F5 records 2K and HD up to 59.94p in XAVC. With the latest firmware updates installed, it will be able to record 4K raw from 1p to 60p and 2K raw from 1p to 240p to an AXS-R5 recorder, as well as 1080p 4:2:2 from 1 to 180 fps internally in XAVC. It will also be able to record SStP SR at 4:4:4 internally when you select RGB mode at 440 Mb/s instead of YUV 4:2:2. All raw recording is in 16-bit.
