About Cinema Line

Staggering latitude for powerful expression

The FR7 offers wide 15+ stop latitude⁰ 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 409600⁰ 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 fps⁰ in 4K¹ 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®⁰ 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.

Express your vision with E-mount lenses

A wide variety of lenses to deliver your vision

The FR7 features Sony's E-mount and can be used with high-quality E-mount lenses⁰, including the superlative G Master series, known for its stunning resolution and softly dissolving bokeh. A choice of focal lengths ranging from 12 mm to 1200 mm¹ gives you full creative control.

Exquisite, impressive bokeh

Taking advantage of the camera's full-frame sensor and Sony’s extraordinary line-up of lenses, you can create expressive bokeh effects with a shallow depth of field – an impossibility with other PTZ cameras. Using a prime lens such as an F1.2 lens will help achieve cinematic-style visual effects where the subject stands out from the background dramatically.

Zoom operation of a manual zoom lens is capable from the Web App, RM-IP500⁰ , or the infrared remote control by connecting a third-party lens controller that is compatible with the FR7. Even telephoto zoom lenses that do not support power zoom can be operated remotely. ¹
