Superior picture quality and high
performance
Super 35-mm type CMOS and PL mount
With the F65’s Super 35-mm-type CMOS imagers and PL
mount, most movie lenses designed for conventional 35-
mm film cameras can be mounted without a converter.
Wide latitude and high-quality pictures
With its newly developed imagers, and unique 16-bit
digital LSI, the camera achieves wide latitude and high-
grade picture quality with minimal noise.
RAW image output
Outputs RAW image data, without camera signal
processing or non-linear gamma processing, for increased
convenience during post-production.
Multiple frame formats
The camera supports 3840/4096-pixel wide images for
high-end content creation, including commercial and
broadcasting program production as well as movie
making.
The camera supports the following formats.
F65RAW mode: 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p,
S47.95 (Select FPS), S48 (Select FPS), S59.94p (Select
FPS), S60p (Select FPS)
F65RAW-HFR mode: S119.88p (Select FPS), S120p
(Select FPS), 100P (when connected to a CA4000/
BPU4000 system), 119.88P (when connected to a
CA4000/BPU4000 system)
HD mode: 23.98p, 24p, 25p, 29.97p, 50p, 59.94p,
S59.94p (Select FPS), S60p (Select FPS)
Imaging characteristics with wide color space
Sony’s unique technology color filters allow the camera to
capture images with natural-looking color reproduction
close to those of the actual scene.
S-LOG gamma and 709(800%) gamma for
monitors
The camera is equipped with S-LOG gamma for checking
the entire dynamic range of the image, and 709(800%)
gamma for general monitoring.
Mechanical rotary shutter
The camera is equipped with a mechanical rotary shutter
that eliminates the rolling shutter effect common to
conventional CMOS image sensors.
HD shooting
When used with the SR-R4 recorder, the camera can also
shoot images in HD mode, in addition to RAW mode.
SR-R4 version 1.4 or later is required to record in HD.
HFR (high frame rate) mode
Supports recording at 120 frames per second. Frame rates
from 1 to 120 fps can be selected using Select FPS.
Notes

Features
Chapter 1 Overview
In HFR mode, the ND filter is set to Clear, and the
mechanical rotary shutter cannot be used.
In addition, only when the frame rate is set to 120 fps, two
cameras can be genlocked so that the phase of the images
obtained are synchronized.
When a CA4000/BPU4000 system is connected, operation
in 100P and 119.88P, twice the speed of 50P and 59.94P
respectively, is possible.
2-system independent SDI outputs
Selectable, independent signal output on SDI1 and SDI2.
• A signal with a varied “look” (tone and color space)
based on CDL or 3D LUT can be selected for output on
SDI1.
• A video assist monitor image using Hi/Lo Key, MAG, or
other effects can be selected for output on SDI2, in
addition to the standard LUT.
The SDI1 system supports “Graded ACES” and “Look
Profile” settings that perform color conversion using a
built-in 3D LUT. The F65 employs a 3D LUT with
17×17×17 lattice to obtain a contour line signal for areas
of smoothly varying luminous intensity.
The recording signal is not affected, allowing the
processing to be improved using a color grading tool that
performs color conversion employing a higher-degree 3D
lattice grid.
DVF-EL100 viewfinder connection
Connects to the DVF-EL100 OLED color viewfinder
(option) that displays a high-resolution, accurate color
reproduction image. 1)
1) The DVF-L350/L700 viewfinder is not supported.
Connections for live operating systems
Connecting the unit to a CA4000 via an SKC-4065 and
connecting an optical SMPTE cable between the BPU4000
and HDCU2000/2500 allows the unit to transmit signals
and provide a power supply.
This allows the unit to operate as a system camera.
Design and shape
New compact design
For a high level of mobility in consideration of various
shooting situations, such as inside a car, the camera is
housed in as compact a body as possible. In addition,
buttons and indicators are laid out to provide a familiar and
intuitive user interface to users of conventional cinema
film cameras.
Dockable system for the SR-R4 Portable Memory
Recorder
A dockable interface system for docking with the SR-R4 is
employed for versatility under shooting conditions and on-
site demands.
Compatible with film-camera accessories
The F65 is designed to be compatible with a variety of
film-camera accessories, giving users a broad array of
choices. These include ARRIFLEX-made bridge plates,
matte boxes, follow focus units, lens focus/zoom/iris servo
control units, and more. These film-camera accessories
can be attached to the F65 without modification, enabling
users who principally work with film to fully utilize their
existing assets.
The F65 is equipped with one 12 V DC and connector one
24 V DC1) output connector to supply power to accessories
connected to the camera.
1) To supply accessories with 24 V DC power, the camera must have both
12 V DC and 24 V DC supplies, and the CAM POWER switch must be
turned ON.
Assignable buttons
The F65 is equipped with assignable buttons on the side of
the camera head.
The operator can assign frequently used functions, such as
magnifying the image in the viewfinder, to assignable
buttons to call these functions rapidly when working in the
field.
Operational versatility
Cine mode
This mode records video without processing, on the
presumption color grading is performed in post-
production, while applying basic color grading to the VF/
SDI outputs.
In Cine mode, the camera can be operated just like a
conventional film camera.
Custom mode
This mode allows you to adjust the black/white level and
the gain of the main signal when creating images on
location.
The SY_PLD of the F65 must be V2.200-01 or later to use
this function.

production.
ASC CDL
American Society of Cinematographers Color Decision
List (ASC CDL) is a format for the exchange of basic color
grading information, recommended by ASC. The CDL
parameters can be specified by importing a CDL file or by
adjusting using the F65Remote Look Plus remote control
application or a web browser. The adjustments made are
not reflected in the master video signal, but are saved as
metadata in the SR-R4 recorder. When recording, the
video can be monitored on the VF/SDI outputs by applying
the values in metadata to the recorded material.
Only CDL files that contain parameter values within the
setting ranges defined in the <SDI1 ASC CDL> page of
the VF/SDI menu can be imported.
Other features
