Flexible Design
The design of the F35 and F23 is based on years of thorough
discussion with experts in cinematography. The camera
employs a totally new ergonomic design – compact,
lightweight, and cable-free – for a high level of mobility.
The camera body is compact and lightweight, weighing just
5 kg (11 lb) without a viewfinder, and the shape is similar to
that of a film camera. The SRW-1 recorder can dock directly
to the top or rear of the F35 or F23, in a similar way to how
magazines would be attached to a film camera,
eliminating the need for cumbersome cable-handling
between the camera and the recorder.
What’s more, the camera handle is flat on top, allowing for
the stable attachment to a Steadicam
®
for low-mode
operation.

Multi-format Image Capturing
The F35 and F23 offer a broad choice of capturing modes,
using 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) active pixels as specified by the
industry-standard ITU Common Image Format (CIF), ranging
from 59.94i/50i interlace to 59.94P/50P progressive mode.
This multi-format image-capturing capability allows the F35
and F23 cameras to be used for multiple purposes in HD
content-creation applications, including cinematic,
commercial, and television productions. The following range
of frame rates can be output:
-Progressive mode: 1080/23.98P, 24P, 25P, 29.97P, 50P, 59.94P
-Interlace mode: 1080/50i, 59.94i
Wider Color Space: S-Gamut
A newly developed optical head block, 3D LUT (lookup table),
and proprietary color management system allow the F35 and
F23 cameras to capture images with a wide color gamut
called S-Gamut that exceeds that of film. This mode provides
cinematographers with greater color-correction capabilities
during the post-production process.
