Sony is expanding its FS Series Super 35mm professional family with the addition of the new Sony PXW-FS7M2 Without Lens and PXW-FS7M2K With Lens camcorder.
The new model builds on the original FS7's strengths by adding advanced features including Electronic Variable ND technology, a
lever lock type E-mount, and a new mechanical design for faster and easier set-up. The new FS7 II camcorder also supports Sony's α Mount System, which
includes more than 70 lenses.
Sony PXW-FS7 has become one of the most widely used cameras in a range of production
applications, and the original FS7 model remains in the Sony line-up. The new PXW-FS7 II now gives creative professionals a broader range of creative
tools, with new features all based on end user feedback.
The new Sony PXW-FS7M2 camcorder is designed for long-form shooting and production applications,
especially documentaries and independent filmmaking. Sony is also introducing an FS7 II kit model which includes a new E-mount, Super 35mm lens, model SELP18110G, covering Super35mm and APSC sensors.
"The
PXW-FS7 II features state of the art, Sony variable ND technology and a robust locking E‑Mount," said Juan Martinez, senior product manager, professional digital imaging, Sony Electronics. "Extensive enhancements to the VF support
system enables super-fast and secure viewfinder repositioning, while retaining the Zen-like simplicity, flexibility and comfort of the FS7's
'multi-award winning' industrial design."
Electronic Variable ND Technology
The camcorder's Electronic Variable ND Filter
system, combined with its large sensor, delivers greater exposure control, with the option of preset or variable operation modes. Variable ND mode
(seamless ND attenuation within the camera's 2~7 stop range) allows the user to vary the density of the ND filter during shooting and to transition
seamlessly between steps.
The camera's expanded ND operations also enables fine exposure adjustment by relegating iris to set depth of field, prevents soft
focus caused by diffraction, and prevents color shift caused by stacking multiple external ND filters.
Preset mode lets users assign three ND
settings to the filter turret, useful in selecting the most appropriate filtration range for changing light conditions. Auto ND mode is also
available allowing exposure to stay at a fixed level while adjusting the depth of field with iris control.
E-mount (Lever Lock type)
for professional shooting
The Sony PXW-FS7M2 new E-mount (lever lock type) gives users the ability to change lenses by rotating the locking
collar rather than the lens itself, which means that in most cases lens support rigs don't need to be removed, saves time during a production.
Mechanical Design Enhancements
Like its counterparts in the FS Series family – the FS7 and FS5 models – the new FS7 II features
several design and ergonomic updates for comfortable and functional use in the field.
The Sony PXW-FS7M2's "tool-less" mechanical design lets users make on-the-fly changes to the camera's set-up and operation. For example, no tools are
required to adjust the Smart Grip or viewfinder positions.
The viewfinder eyepiece provides a third stabilizing contact point when shooting
handheld. Durable square section rods and lever-clamps on the LCD and camera body provide simple and precise front-to-back VF adjustment while retaining
level positioning.
New Sony 18-110mm Sony G lens
Sony is also introducing an FS7 II kit model including a new E-mount, Super
35mm lens. The new lens, model SELP18110G, covers Super35mm and APSC sensors. Compact and lightweight – 2.4 lbs (1.1Kg) – with an 18 to 110 focal range (6x zoom)
it uses a new fully mechanical/servo zoom switchable system, capable of snap zooms and entirely devoid of lag. The focal range is optimized for Super 35
and APS-C sensors.
The lens is compatible with Sony α Mount System cameras, including the α7 series interchangeable-lens cameras and
professional Super 35mm 4K camcorders like Sony's FS7 or FS5. Although perfectly suited for still image taking, filmmakers will fully appreciate
the lens' extended creative capabilities for shooting motion images.
The lens benefits from Sony's Smooth Motion Optics (SMO) design, which is
developed to optimize performance during motion image capture. This lens design eliminates undesirable characteristics and artifacts that do not
affect still image capture, but can severely limit a lens' usefulness for motion shooting, such as:
• Ramping: F stop gradually diminishes when
zooming tight.
• Not holding focus while zooming.
• Breathing (angle of view variation while focusing).
• Optical axis shift (image moves in the
frame while zooming).
XQD Cards
The Sony PXW-FS7M2 supports the XQD memory card format, designed for capturing and transferring high-bandwidth, high resolution files. Sony is also introducing a new XQD card, QD-G256E – with an industry first 256 GB capacity – which enables a
recording time of approximately 45 minutes at 4K 60P and 3.5 hours at 2K 30P. Combined with a read speed of up to 440MB/s and write speed of up to 400MB/s, users can shoot for longer without needing to change media cards.
