Today Sony announced the new AXS-R7 Raw Recorder for the F5 & F55 cameras. The new AXS-R7 is a robust new dual-slot Raw recorder that enables recording up to 120 fps in 4K on the F55.

Sony's CBKZ-55FX upgrade license enables the PMW-F5 to record and playback 4K, effectively doubling the camera's resolution. It also adds 4K quad-SDI and HDMI output, as well as simultaneous recording of XAVC at 4K and MPEG 50Mbps 422 in HD.

Canon's Cine-Servo 17-120, with its versatile zoom range and 31.7mm image circle, has proven to be popular with our clients. However, depending on what camera you are shooting with, there are extra items to take into consideration, such as adapters, power options, support, and more.

To kick off the weekend, Sony has released their new firmware 5.0 for the PMW-F5 and PMW-F55.

When working in a multi-mic scenario, something with the flexibility of the Sound Devices 633 - an audio mixer and recorder that can handle up to six audio inputs - is key to your success. Traditional camcorders offer two isolated channels of audio input. While this may work fine for two mics, the task gets tougher when three or more mics are in the mix.

Our scene file blogs have always been some of our most popular posts, and our specialists get many questions regarding how to create matching scene files for different cameras. Last year I actually wrote an article for HDVideoPro called "Making the Match," where I discussed step-by-step how I go about doing this. In that article, I used a Sony F3 and an FS700 as examples, but recently we received an interesting inquiry on how to match a Sony F55 with a Canon C500.

Back in January, Juliet wrote a fairly extensive post explaining the process of getting HFR recording working on your Sony F55 or F5. It's a great feature that many people are excited about, but a common question that pops up is, "Why can't I use LUTs when shooting in the HFR mode?" LUTs can definitely make your life easier when shooting in S-Log, so Alister Chapman has found an interesting workaround over on XDCam-User.

We've recently received a number of calls asking about the functionality of the OptiTek Mark II on Sony cameras (F3/F5/F55). In today's Quick Tip, I will take you through the steps to get the adapter up and running.
