The HDW-F900R model can also take advantage of the optional video cache feature of Sony's HDW-730/750 camcorder series, giving this new camcorder even more production flexibility. The F900R features three 2.2 megapixel CCDs, 12-bit DSP, and has the same optical axis as its predecessor with virtually identical image-making capabilities.
The HDW-F900R camcorder records images in accordance with the CIF (Common Image Format) standard, which specifies a sampling structure of 1920 x 1080 active pixels (horizontal x vertical). As well as recording at 24p, the HDW-F900R camcorder is switchable to record at 25p, 29.97p progressive scan, and also at 50 or 59.94 Hz interlaced scan.
The camcorder also provides a comprehensive range of features for creative shooting such as enhanced gamma features and colorimetry controls. The design of the HDW-F900R is highly compact and lightweight, giving users higher levels of mobility and comfort when shooting.
To further enhance the creative and operational versatility of the camcorder, a wide range of optional accessories are available, including two new option boards. The HKDW-902R is a down-converter that enables 3:2 pull-down for on-set standard-definition monitoring and allows the unit to be used in 4:3 squeezed, letterbox or crop modes for SD viewing. The HKDW-905R is a slow-shutter/image inversion board that allows the use of image-inverting lenses such as ultra-telescopic lenses from Panavision, the Canon Anamorphic Lens Adaptor or Cinema lenses with 2/3-inch adapters.
