This CineAlta camera shoots spectacular images with its 8.9 megapixels (effective) Sony 4K image sensor, yielding superb dynamic range, the widest colour gamut, and pristine image quality in HD, 2K or 4K.

Multiple recording formats include MPEG-2 HD422, MPEG4 SStP*, XAVC 2K*/HD, XAVC QFHD*/4K and 16-bit RAW 2K/4K**. Simultaneous recording is possible on internal high-speed SxS PRO memory cards and RAW 2K/4K recording on sleek AXSM™ memory cards using the optional bolt-on AXS-R5 recorder, designed specifically to attach seamlessly to the F55 and F5 cameras. High-speed shooting up to 240 fps RAW 2K and 60 fps in RAW 4K recording is also an option. 

The PMW-F55 is exceptionally small, light and modular, allowing the exactly right configuration for each job, or even each shot. The chassis is only slightly wider than a typical PL-mount prime lens, making it perfect for 3D rigs. An optional shoulder rig provides for hand-held and shoulder-mounted shooting.

The camera accepts PL-mount, FZ-mount and still lenses – including second-generation Sony PL-mount lenses – and a variety of viewfinders, including the revolutionary optional DVF-EL100 OLED viewfinder. Extra-long-life Olivine (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries are also an option.

* Expected as future upgrades.
