Advanced Media and Sony Professional Solutions MEA hosted a seminar focusing on the 4K super 35mm camcorder, NEX-FS700R with its high frame rate recording capability. The seminar was held over two days, where DoP Alister Chapman demonstrated a cost-effective 4K workflow using the FS700.
Beginning with the introduction to 4K, Chapman discussed benefits of shooting in 4K for HD production and the difference between conventional shooting and using RAW.
His previous workshop on 4K, which was held just before CABSAT this year, had introduced the 4K workflow using the F5 and F55 cameras. In this workshop, he introduced NEX-FS700R and FS700 4K RAW setup.
Other talking points of the seminar included the RAW workflow considerations and managing and monitoring high dynamic range images. The seminar also tackled issues such as Correct S-Log2 exposure and how far you can push your exposure.
Chapman demonstrated shooting in 4K, re-framing in post production and opened the floor to questions. The other key issues discussed were the future of TV, internet and web delivery and the importance of 4K acquisition. The workshop concluded with the introduction to PXW-Z100.
The attendees included camerapersons, DoPs and cinematographers from local production houses and state broadcasting companies such as Dubai TV and Oman TV. There was a good number of freelance camera professionals also present over both days of the seminar.
Commenting on the recent hardware upgrade of the FS700 camera to capture 4K RAW, Vahid Macvandi, Regional Distribution Manager at Advanced Media explained, NEX-FS700 has had a firmware upgrade which enables the camera to output 4K. The new FS700s, named NEX-FS700R/RH comes equipped with this feature. However, old versions of the camera can be upgraded at an additional cost of USD400. AMT is offering a free upgrade for those who own the old camcorder version and buy Sony AXS-R5 or Odyssey 7Q recorders.
The upgrades allow the NEX-FS700E to capture 4K RAW at HFR of 100 frames per second (fps) or 120 fps for approximately four seconds, and 2K RAW at 100 fps, 120 fps, 200 fps or 240 fps continuous recording. The camera records 2K and 4K RAW high frame rate images, producing stunning image quality and enabling maximum image manipulation flexibility in post production.
