PMW-F3L
PMW-F3K
Solid-state Memory Camcorder

2
In the year 2000, Sony introduced the HDW-F900 CineAlta™ 24p HDCAM® camcorder, the
first-ever 1080/24p recording camcorder for feature films, TV dramas and cinematography
production. It became the foundation for a decade of development of Super 35mm digital
motion picture cameras such as the F35 and SRW-9000PL.
Now Sony introduces a new member of its CineAlta camcorder line-up: the affordable
PMW-F3 Super 35mm camcorder. It inherits DNA from the F35, which has been used for
years in high-end digital cinematography, as well as most of the features and file-based
workflow capabilities of PMW-EX1R and EX3 XDCAM EX™ solid-state memory camcorders.
The PMW-F3 is equipped with the newly developed Exmor™ Super 35 CMOS image sensor,
PL lens mount adapter, and dual SxS® card slots for 1920 x 1080 full-HD recording. Sony
offers two affordable models of the PMW-F3: one is without a lens, the PMW-F3L; the other
includes three PL lenses (35/50/85mm, T2.0), the PMW-F3K.
The PMW-F3 features future expandability, including software option (CBK-RGB01)* that
enables RGB 4:4:4 baseband signal output with S-LOG gamma for external recording which
means it can be used in an HDCAM SR® workflow. Another future offering is a 3D-LINK
option (CBK-3DL01)*, which allows two camcorders to be controlled simultaneously for 3D
stereoscopic shooting.
Sony believes that - for many content creators - the PMW-F3 breaks entry barriers to digital
cinematography and opens up a new era of Super 35mm digital production. With an
optional zoom lens scheduled to be introduced from Sony in the winter of 2011*, this makes
the F3 camera ideal for a variety of creative productions such as independent film-making,
cinematography, music videos, documentaries; delivering mobility, flexibility, and cost
efficiency.

KEY FEATURES
1. Exmor™ Super 35 CMOS Sensor
The PMW-F3 is equipped with a newly developed Exmor
Super 35 CMOS image sensor which offers creative shallow
depth of field, similar to that of a film camera. This sensor has
an extremely high sensitivity of F11 (ISO800) with a very low
noise level (an S/N ratio of 63 dB). This is a significant
advantage especially when shooting
in low-light conditions or at night
using only ambient light.
2. PL Lens Mount
The PMW-F3 employs a PL lens mount that is standard for film
cameras, allowing use of a virtually unlimited number of
prime and zoom lenses for 35mm film cameras. This greatly
broadens the choice of lenses for a wider spectrum of
creative expression.
A PL lens mount adapter comes with the camera as a supplied
accessory. The PMW-F3 supports the Cooke/i Technology
protocol and the ARRI LDS interface, which enables the
camcorder to communicate with the lens to obtain lens
metadata such as focus and iris position. This improves
post-production workflow as lens metadata can be recorded
onto an SxS® card and brought into the post-production
process.
3. Affordable PL Lens Kit Model
There are two models of the PMW-F3. One is the lens-less
PMWF3L offering freedom of lens choices and the other is the
PMWF3K package that comes with three fixed focal length PL
lenses (35/50/85-mm, T2.0).
4. XDCAM EX™ Workflow
The recording format and recording media are identical to
the existing PMW-EX1R and PMW-EX3, and proven, high-speed,
intuitive XDCAM EX workflow can be used with high reliability.
This workflow offers seamless integration with leading
nonlinear editing software.
5. Small and Lightweight,
With Low Power Consumption
The PMW-F3 has a small, compact body with a very modest
footprint, and weighs just 5 lb 4 oz (2.4 kg). It offers mobility,
flexibility, and cost efficiency. In addition, the camcorder’s
power consumption is only 24 W, and up to three hours
recording can be achieved with only one BP-U60 battery
(sold separately).
6. HD-SDI Dual-link Output
The PMW-F3 has an HD-SDI Dual-link output connector which
offers 10 bit 4:2:2 1080 50/59.94p uncompressed signal
output as standard. By using external recording devices
such as HDCAM SR™ recorders, users can achieve x 2.5
natural slow-motion playback in 1080/24p mode.
7. RGB & S-LOG Output Option (CBK-RGB01)*
The PMW-F3 delivers a scalable external recording solution.
When the RGB and S-LOG output option is added, RGB 4:4:4
baseband signal output is available for external recording
devices such as HDCAM SR recorders. A LUT (Look Up Table)
function is also provided for monitoring purposes when S-LOG
output is activated. The same option includes 3G-SDI output
functionality. It enables users to
select Dual-link HD-SDI or 3G-SDI
depending on the connecting
devices.
8. 3D-LINK Option (CBK-3DL01)*
Another new feature of the PMW-F3 is the 3D-LINK option
which is especially convenient for 3D stereoscopic shooting.
Two PMW-F3 cameras can be controlled by one camera
remote controller at the same time. The two cameras are
connected with a special 10-pin cable that includes genlock,
timecode in/out, and control line. Simultaneous control of
the Iris and Focus functions of two cameras is extremely
useful.
*Availability: CBK-RGB01 RGB & S-Log Output Software Option expected Summer 2011, CBK-3DL01
3D Link Software Option expected Fall 2011. Dates of availability are subject to change without notice.

1. Picture Profile
The Picture Profile feature of the PMW-F3 allows camera
operators to easily call up customized picture-tonal settings
to suit particular shooting conditions, rather than having to
readjust the camera each time. This gives greater
operational efficiency. Up to ten different pictures - including
tonal settings such as matrix parameters, color correction,
detail, one of eight gamma curves, and knee - can be saved
on an SxS® memory card. These settings are displayed on
the LCD panel at the touch of a button.
2. Selectable Gamma Curves
The PMW-F3 offers a wide variety of gamma curves to flexibly
handle contrast and give a specific ‘look’ to an image. In
addition to six types of standard gamma curve, there are four
types of Hyper Gamma which are identical to those on
CineAlta™ cameras. Operators can select the best-suited
preset gamma curve, depending on scene requirements.
3. Built-in ND Filters
The PMW-F3 camcorder is equipped with built-in optical ND
(Neutral Density) filters. These filters are selected via a built-in
ND filter slide - Clear (Off), 1/8 ND (0.9), and 1/64 ND (1.8) -
and conveniently enable operators to control light intensity
without a matte box in small camera configuration.
4. Slow Shutter Function
The PMW-F3 offers a Slow Shutter function for capturing
clearer images in low-light environments. This allows the
shutter speed to be extended to a maximum of eight frames.
The function not only increases camera sensitivity but also
produces a special blurring effect when shooting a moving
object, for enhanced shooting creativity. The shutter speed is
selectable between 2- and 8-frame periods.
5. Interval Recording Function
The Interval Recording function intermittently records one
frame at pre-determined intervals. This is convenient for
shooting over long periods of time, and also when creating
special effects with extremely rapid motion.
6. HD-SDI and Other Versatile Interfaces
The PMW-F3 comes
equipped with a wide range
of interfaces optimized for a
variety of operational needs,
broad interoperability, and
flexible workflow. These
include an HD-SDI output
and, in E-to-E mode, an
uncompressed 4:2:2 10-bit
signal can be output from
the connector. For versatile
usage, there is also a down-converted SD-SDI output, i.LINK®
(HDV/DVCAM), and analog composite/component output.
In addition, the PMW-F3 has a timecode input/output and
genlock input, allowing the camcorder to be used in a multi-
camera system. Also, the PMW-F3 has an HD-SDI Dual-link
output for 10bit 4:2:2 1080 50/59.94p as standard, and 10 bit
RGB 4:4:4 1080 24/25/30p output as an option.
7. Supplied Software for Powerful Content
Management
The newly developed XDCAM Browser version 1.1 not only
enables users to browse video clips shot by the PMW-F3 on their
Microsoft Windows® and Macintosh®
computers, but also to register and
edit metadata, and convert file
wrappers if needed. In addition, with
an optional charged base plug in
from MainConcept AG*, you can
also convert file format for example
from 4:2:0 35Mbps to 4:2:2 50Mbps.

The PMW-F3 is equipped with a Super 35mm CMOS
image sensor which is equivalent to that of Super
35mm film and has been specifically developed for
digital cinematography. Its positioning within the
chassis is exactly the same as it would be within a
35mm film camera - ensuring optical performance
with the widest variety of 35mm cine lenses.
As shown below, Super 35mm Exmor CMOS sensor
size itself is approximately 40% larger than that of a
micro 4/3” image sensor. Moreover, the actual size of
each pixel on this Super 35mm image sensor is
approximately 4 times larger than those typically
found in Digital SLRs. These are the foundations that
support the needs of professional shooters — greater
sensitivity, exposure latitude, low noise, and motion
smoothness along with shallower depth of field over
Digital SLRs and other camcorders using smaller
imager sensors.
The output signal from this new CMOS image sensor
is processed in the newly developed high-quality
camera signal processor inside the unit. By utilizing
cutting-edge technology, this camcorder achieves
very high sensitivity and an extremely low noise level.
When video mode sensitivity is F11 (ISO800), the S/N
ratio is 63 dB. When S-LOG mode sensitivity is F16
(ISO1600), with an 800% dynamic range, the S/N ratio
is 57 dB.
As the Exmor Super 35 CMOS image sensor offers
extremely high sensitivity, the ND filter is built-in for
easier control of incoming light intensity. In addition,
to minimize design size, ND filter glasses have an up/
down slide mechanism.
Exmor™ Super 35 CMOS Image Sensor
The PMW-F3 is supplied with a PL mount adapter to
provide immediate compatibility with the widest
range of 35mm cine lenses. There are hot-shoe
electric interfaces for Cooke/i Technology and ARRI
LDS on the PL mount adapter. This makes it possible
to improve the workflow by bringing iris, focus, and
other lens metadata into the post-production process.
In the future, Sony plans to introduce zoom lenses*
which are directly mounted to the PMW-F3 original
lens mount. This newly developed type of power
zoom lens will expand the operational flexibility of the
PMW-F3 so it can be used for broader applications.
Three PL Lens Kits (35/50/85mm, T2.0)
To make a camera operator’s entry into the 35mm
world as easy and economical as possible, the
affordable PMW-F3K model comes as standard with
three PL lenses. These have fixed focal lengths of
35mm, 50mm, and 85mm with T2.0, and - as this type
of lens doesn’t support flange back adjustment - an
adjustment mechanism is installed in the main body
of the PMW-F3. These PL lenses meet the specifications
both of traditional cinema lenses and of digital lenses.
• High resolution
• Well-controlled vignetting
• Low geometric distortion
• Minimized breathing
• Exit pupil position accommodates the characteristics
of the image sensor
• Eight-blade iris diaphragm specification
This Super 35mm image sensor camcorder has a
shallow depth of field. Its T2.0 lens achieves the same
blur quality (bokeh) as T0.8 lens with camcorders
which have a 2/3” image sensor typically used for
broadcasting.

RGB & S-LOG Workflow*
The RGB and S-LOG output option (CBK-RGB01)* makes it
possible to output a 10bit RGB 4:4:4 uncompressed 1080p
signal over an HD-SDI Dual-link. Moreover by using same
option, the Dual-link A output can be switched to 3G-SDI.
3G-SDI output reduces wiring between the camera and
external recording and monitoring devices. This RGB
output can be recorded with an external recording device
such as the SRW-1 HDCAM-SR™ portable recorder. This
feature allows users to capture higher picture quality
especially for VFX including color grading, compositing
and chroma key operation.
This option also offers S-LOG gamma output which
enables users to capture in an extremely wide dynamic
range of 800% with an S/N ratio of 57 dB. The advantage of
S-LOG is the reproduction of both shadow details and
highlight, contributing to “film-look” images.
The PMW-F3 has four viewing LUTs for monitoring purposes
when S-LOG output is activated. For example, if the user
selects S-LOG to R709 conversion LUT as the viewing LUT, R709-
converted images are available in HD-SDI output, and the
result is checked without color grading in the field. At the
same time, LUT-applied images can be recorded on SxS card
and can be used as off-line material for making EDL/ALE files.
RGB output can be recorded on HDCAM-SR tapes and used
as on-line material. By using both HDCAM-SR tapes and SxS
cards, the PMW-F3 enables efficient post-production workflow.

The 3D-LINK option* enables users to operate two PMW-F3
cameras at the same time via one camera remote
controller. Two PMW-F3 cameras can be connected with a
dedicated 10-pin cable which carries a reference signal,
timecode and control. Since two cameras are locked with
a genlock signal, it’s easy to achieve 3D shooting without
time-consuming adjustment, and the images captured by the
two cameras are completely synchronized. In addition, by
using the HD-SDI output signal for an HDCAM-SR recorder,
both off-line material on SxS® card and on-line material on
HDCAM-SR tapes can be used for efficient post-production.
