Sony FR7 Cinema Line PTZ Camera Summary
A full-frame image sensor, a broad line-up of interchangeable lenses, and the look and operability of Sony's renowned digital cinema cameras – the FR7 brings outstanding professional performance to the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) format. With its unique perspective and capabilities, it will change the way visual content is made.
- The world's first full-frame interchangeable-lens camera with remote pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ)
- Back-illuminated 35 mm full-frame CMOS image sensor and BIONZ XR™ processing
- Innovative full-remote control via Web App, or hardware control via RM-IP500
- Powerful expression from a 15+ stop latitude, plus colour matching with other Cinema Line cameras
- Up to 100 preset camera positions to be memorised with Web App and optional RM-IP500
Remote control for creative camera placement
With its integrated, remotely controllable pan and tilt mechanism, the FR7 can be mounted on the ceiling or in other out-of-the-way locations. Follow your subjects or instantly recall pre-composed shot framings, for unprecedented creative potential.
Innovative remote control
With a newly developed Web App that enables easy access via QR code or URL input, you can set up the FR7 from a tablet or a PC through a web browser1. You can also use the optional RM-IP5002 for precise joystick-controlled pan, tilt and zoom operation3.
Advanced technology for cinematic expression
Bearing the Cinema Line name, the FR7 incorporates key features that support cinematic expression. The FR7 features a back-illuminated 35 mm full-frame CMOS image sensor for the first time4 in a pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) camera. Also the BIONZ XR™ contributes to superb image quality with high sensitivity, smooth gradations, and true-to-life colour.
Limitless creativity with E-mount lenses
The FR7 features Sony's E-mount and can be used with all E-mount lenses5. These include the superlative G Master series, known for its stunning resolution and beautiful bokeh. A choice of focal lengths ranging from 12 mm to 1200 mm6 gives you comprehensive creative control.
Cinema Line image quality
The FR7's "Cinema Line" name identifies it as part of a renowned line-up of creative tools designed to unleash the true power of visual storytelling. It provides Custom and Cine EI modes that adjust camera operation to your workflow while maintaining consistency with other Cinema Line cameras.
Staggering latitude for powerful expression
The FR7 offers wide 15+ stop latitude7 to prevent blown highlights and crushed shadows. In Cine EI mode, base sensitivity can be set to either ISO 800 or 12800 for a consistent look regardless of lighting conditions.
Astounding image quality in low light
The FR7 offers cleaner images in low light by taking full advantage of the sensor’s size and high sensitivity. ISO can be expanded as far as ISO 4096008 when shooting in extremely low light conditions such as live concerts.
Slow motion for extensive creative possibilities
Smooth 5x slow motion provides extensive creative possibilities, making every moment clearer and more dramatic. The FR7 allows internal slow-motion capture at up to 120 fps9 in 4K10 resolution, and up to 240 fps in full HD.
4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit output
The FR7 supports clean, high-quality output via its HDMI and SDI OUT connectors. This makes it possible to record Apple ProRes 422 or Avid DNxHR®11 in 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit format with compatible external recorders via an HDMI or SDI cable.
Support for S-Log3/S-Gamut3
The optional S-Log3 gamma curve and S-Gamut3.Cine let you capture the full colour gamut and dynamic range available to the sensor. They enable the retention of information in both highlights and shadows for flexibility in post-production.
All-Intra recording for precise motion capture
The FR7 is capable of 4K internal recording with 10-bit depth and 4:2:2 colour sampling with All-Intra and Long-GOP compression. This makes it possible to push your colour grades further while still retaining natural gradation, for true editing freedom.
An instant cinematic look with S-Cinetone™
S-Cinetone produces the natural mid-tones essential to healthy-looking skin, plus soft colours and gorgeous highlights. Beautiful cinematic images can be created in-camera, without extra colour grading.
