remixr Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I attended the Sony launch of the F55 and F5 cameras last night at Abelcine in NY and the cameras have some nice audio features. Aside from allowing up to 4 AES digital inputs or two analog inputs via real XLR connectors the level meters are visible at all times on the large OLED display on the left side of the camera, still a bit small but not hard to spot from a reasonable distance. Access to the audio input type, gain and levels is accessed thru a dedicated Audio/TC button and a jog wheel so there is less menu "Hunting"/ Levels/steps and this also prevents exposed level pot "Accidental" changes by camera operators. Both Cameras are remarkably light and actually very usable for over the shoulder high end ENG and Doc work. Other items of note are the add on external recorder unit is internally passed TC and audio and the built in SxS card recorder can actually record two different proxy resolution versions in addition to the recorder, three copies total, very impresive. Hope to meet all that will be at Jan's event tommorow. Andrew Synergistic Media Services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
