Overview  
Chapter  
Multiple frame formats  
The camera covers the1080 formats of different types to  
allow it to be used for high-end content creation, including  
commercial and broadcasting program production as well  
as movie making.  
• Progressive mode: 1080/23.98P, 1080/24P, 1080/25P,  
1080/29.97P, 1080/50P, 1080/59.94P  
1-1 Features  
The F23 is a digital cinematography camera equipped with  
2/3-inch type CCDs, each with an effective pixel count of  
1920 (H) × 1080 (V).  
The camera is incorporated with newly developed imagers  
and a digital signal-processing LSI that yield images of a  
high quality for cinematic, commercial, and dramatic  
production applications. The camera also supports the  
features of a “production camera” up to details in its shape,  
button and indicator layout, and materials of the parts.  
• Interlace mode: 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i  
Imaging characteristics with wide color space  
A newly developed optical prism system having wide  
spectral characteristics allows the camera to capture  
images in natural-looking colors closer to those of the  
actual scene than with conventional cameras.  
Superior Picture Quality and High  
Performance  
User Gamma  
As with Sony’s HDC-F950 video camera and HDW-  
F900R digital recorder, the F23 allows you to customize  
gamma curves according to your creative needs, using the  
Wide dynamic range and high-quality digital  
pictures  
1)  
CvpFileEditor application software.  
With its newly developed 2/3-type Progressive IT CCDs  
for 2,200,000 pixels, 14-bit A/D converter, and unique  
digital LSI, the camera achieves significant extension of  
the dynamic range and picture quality of optimal grade.  
1) You can download the software from the “eCSite,” the site for  
downloading business and professional software from Sony Corporation.  
Design and Shape  
RGB 4:4:4 image capturing  
New compact design  
The RGB 4:4:4 image-capturing capability, having high  
affinity with computer graphics, yields significant results,  
especially in chroma-keying and color-correction  
processes where highly exacting special-effects sequences  
and elaborate finishes are required in demanding movie-  
making, commercial, and television applications.  
For a high level of mobility in consideration of various  
shooting situations, such as inside a car, the camera is  
housed in as compact a body as possible. In addition,  
buttons and indicators are laid out to provide a familiar and  
intuitive user interface to users of conventional cinema  
film cameras.  
Variable-speed recording  
Dockable system of the SRW-1 HD Portable  
Digital Recorder  
When used with a Sony SRW-1 HD Portable Digital  
Recorder, the number of frames per second (fps) for  
shooting/recording is selectable in single-frame  
increments. This allows users to create slow- or fast-  
motion effects equivalent to those obtained by  
“overcranking” or “undercranking” a cinematic film  
camera.  
Frame-rate settings for this function are variable from 1 to  
60 fps in YCbCr signal mode and from 1 to 30 fps in RGB  
4:4:4 signal mode.  
A dockable interface system is employed to conform to  
versatile shooting conditions and on-site demands.  
1)  
The SRW-1 can be docked directly on the top or rear of  
the camera, as required for shooting conditions.  
The camera and SRW-1 recorder can also be tethered via  
cables to take advantage of the compactness of the camera  
for higher mobility.  
1) The firmware of the SRW-1 may be required to be updated for use with the  
camera. For details, consult your local Sony representative.  
Features  
7
   
Rugged and reliable lens mount  
Image inversion function  
The newly designed lens mount utilizes a rigid, highly  
temperature-stable material, to better withstand frequent  
lens changes, dramatically reducing any galling of the lens  
mount and drift of back focus.  
The image inversion function allows you to cancel out the  
image-inversion phenomena that occurs when a cine-lens  
converter is used.  
Other Features  
Compatible with film-camera accessories  
The F23 is designed to be compatible with a variety of  
film-camera accessories, giving users a broad array of  
choices. These include ARRIFLEX-made bridge plates,  
matte boxes, follow focus units, lens focus/zoom/iris servo  
control units, and more. These film-camera accessories  
can be attached to the F23 without modification, enabling  
users who principally work with film to fully utilize their  
assets.  
Assistant panel  
The supplied assistant panel has an identical button and  
indicator layout to that of the on-camera control panel and  
provides intuitive remote control of the basic camera and  
VTR operations at hand.  
Down-conversion output  
The down-converter built into the camera as standard  
equipment enables camera pictures as well as VTR  
playback pictures to be monitored using a conventional SD  
monitor.  
Having one 12 V DC output connector and another 24 V  
1)  
DC output connector, the F23 can supply power to such  
compatible accessories attached to it through these  
connectors.  
1) To feed 24 V DC power in synchronization with the power switch of the  
camera, an independent power supply of 24V DC is required in addition to  
the 12 V power.  
Twin-viewfinder operation  
Two viewfinders can be attached to the F23 for  
simultaneous monitoring with different settings of  
character information and marker indications.  
Assignable switches  
Functions frequently used in the field, such as optical filter  
switching, can be assigned to three push buttons and one  
switch located on the side panel of the camera, allowing  
the operator to make rapid changes when working in the  
field.  
Saving/retrieving settings with a “Memory  
Stick”1)  
Using a “Memory Stick,” you can save menu settings for  
particular shooting conditions for retrieval when required.  
1) Memory Stick and

Operational Versatility  
Two operation modes: Cine and Custom  
The F23 offers two operation modes; “Cine Mode” for  
movie-making applications, where image tone is normally  
adjusted in post production, and “Custom Mode,” which is  
suitable for users who wish to fine-tune camera parameters  
to produce their desired look in on-set grading.  
Shutter control  
When using the electronic shutter, the setting indication  
can be switched between the shutter angle and shutter  
frequency.  
Monitor output selection  
For monitor outputs, the user can select flexibly whether to  
mix character information and markers, whether to apply  
alternative monitor gamma other than that applied to the  
camera signal, or how to mix the playback picture.

Custom mode  
• This mode is designed for shooting with detailed settings  
on the menus or with operations from the remote control  
unit.  
• The reference file, which stores the values to be used as  
reference for adjustments, and the scene files, which  
store the adjustment values specific to a particular scene,  
are available in this mode.

Operation Modes  
3-1-1 Overview of the Basic  
Operation Modes  
• User Gamma can be installed.  
• Modification and storage of the lens files are possible.  
With this camera, Cine mode and Custom mode can be  
switched. Cine mode is designed for shooting the materials  
that will undergo post-production editing and that do not  
need on-set grading, as with shooting with a film camera.  
Custom mode is designed for shooting with all the setting  
items of the camera set as you wish.  
The items that can be set and the selectable values on the  
menus and from the remote control unit are different in  
Cine mode and Custom mode.  
Note  
The settings for the file items adjusted in Custom mode are  
maintained when the camera is switched back to Cine  
mode. However, the video adjustment values that are  
temporarily changed and not stored in any file will be  
cleared upon mode switching.  
For details on different items and values that can be set in  
Cine mode (default mode)  
• The subdisplay and the USER menu are mainly used.  
• Most of the items on the PAINT and MAINTENANCE  
menus are fixed at the default values.  
3-1-2 Switching of the Basic  
Operation Modes  
• Only auto black balance (ABB) can be activated as auto  
setup.  
At shipment, Cine mode is selected.  
The white balance level is fixed at the preset value  
(3200K), and auto white balance (AWB) and WHITE R/  
G/B settings are not operative.  
• On a remote control unit connected to the REMOTE  
connector of the camera, the values for the adjustment  
items whose settings fixed in Cine mode are not  
displayed. However, data for the ON/OFF setting items  
and selectable items are displayed although they are  
fixed in Cine mode.  
To switch to Custom mode  
Referring to the procedures described in “2-8 Setting the  
Built-in Clock” (page 25), call up the <BASE SETTING>  
page of the MAINTENANCE menu on the viewfinder  
screen or the monitor screen and switch the modes.  
On the same page, making settings for dynamic range and  
color space is also possible.  
• Reading/writing of files from/to a “Memory Stick” and  
data presetting are enabled only for the operator file that  
is included in the USER menu.  
• Only retrieval by specifying a file number is allowed  
among the lens file operations.  
• The reference file items are fixed to the default values set  
at the factory even if you have changed the values in  
Custom mode.

For details on the operator file, see “Chapter 5 Storage  
In addition, as the video level is maintained at a certain

As ITU-R709 provides 4.5-times gain around the black,  
select the No. 6 (×5) curve when better tonal reproduction  
is required.  
User gamma curves are initialized with S-LOG at the  
factory.  
S-LOG is a set of data optimized to record image  
information as digital data materials by using the entire

Chapter  
Adjust necessary items, using the PAINT and  
MAINTENANCE menus or using the MSU-900/950  
Master Setup Unit, then store the adjustment data, using  
the <LENS FILE> page of the FILE menu or using the  
MSU-900/950.  
5-1 File Configuration  
This system permits various settings and adjustment data  
to be stored as data files in built-in memory or a “Memory  
Stick” in order to facilitate later operations or adjustments.  
A stored data file can be retrieved, as required, to  
reproduce the stored setting statuses.  
You can back up the lens files in a “Memory Stick.”  
Note  
In Cine mode, only retrieval of lens files is possible.  
Modification of file data or file creation is not possible.  
Note  
Items stored  
In Cine mode, some file operations will be limited.  
The items that are stored in lens files are marked with “a”  
in the “L” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items Stored  
The following six kinds of files are designed for the  
system:  
Scene files  
A scene file stores data adjusted on the PAINT menu for a  
specific scene. Up to five sets can be stored as the scene  
files.  
For example, if you store data prepared in rehearsal for a  
particular scene in a scene file, the data can be retrieved to  
reproduce the same camera settings for the actual take.  
For file operation, use the <SCENE FILE> page of the  
PAINT or FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950  
Master Setup Unit for the file operation.  
Operator file  
This file stores operational settings not related to picture  
quality. At shipment, the operator file with the default  
settings has been stored in built-in memory.  
After the default settings are changed, those changed  
setting data can be stored as the operator file in a “Memory  
Stick” for later use.  
For file operation, use the <OPERATOR FILE> page of  
the USER (OPERATION) menu or that of the FILE menu.  
Scene files are stored in built-in memory. You can also  
back up the scene files in a “Memory Stick.”  
Items stored  
The setting items in the OPERATION menu (page 55) and  
the customized USER menu (page 75) can be stored.  
Note  
In Cine mode, scene file operation is disabled.  
Lens files  
Items stored  
Names of 32 different lenses, their minimum f-stops, and  
standard values for these lenses can be registered as lens  
files in built-in memory of the camera. Files for lenses  
equipped with the lens extender can contain two sets of  
data for extender ON or OFF.  
The items that are stored in scene files are marked with  
a” in the “S” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items  
Reference file  
This file stores the standard settings of the camera that can  
be used as a reference when adjusting the camera.  
If STANDARD is executed on the <SCENE FILE> page of  
the PAINT menu or the <REFERENCE> page of the FILE  
menu, or with the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit,  
When you remount the lens after using another lens, the  
appropriate compensation for the lens can be achieved  
easily by reading the file corresponding to the lens.  
For file retrieval, use the subdisplay or the <LENS FILE>  
page of the USER (OPERATION) menu.  
Creation and modification of lens files are made in Custom  
mode.  
File Configuration  
78  
               
manually adjusted values of the camera will be reset to the  
reference values that have been stored in the reference file.  
At shipment, the reference file with the initial settings is  
stored in built-in memory.  
The initial settings can be modified, as required, then  
stored as the new reference file.  
5-2 List of Items Stored  
in Files  
For file operation, use the <REFERENCE> page of the  
FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950 Master  
Setup Unit for file operation.  
The items that are stored in scene files, the reference file,  
the lens files, and the OHB file are listed in the table below.  
You can back up the reference file in a “Memory Stick.”  
For details on setting values, see the corresponding items  
in the table in “4-3 Menu List” (page 55).  
Notes  
• In Cine mode, the reference file data are fixed as those at  
shipment and cannot be modified.  
• As relative adjustment values with regard to the  
reference file data are stored in a scene file, if data of the  
reference file are modified, the scene files also need  
modification.

White flecks  
Although the CCD image sensors are produced with high-  
precision technologies, fine white flecks may be generated  
on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays.  
This is related to the principle of CCD image sensors and  
is not a malfunction.  
Precautions  
Use and Storage  
Do not subject the unit to severe shocks  
The internal mechanism may be damaged or the body  
warped.  
The white flecks especially tend to be seen  
• when operating at a high environmental temperature  
• when you have raised the master gain (sensitivity)  
After use  
Always turn off the power.  
This product has a compensation function and the problem  
may be alleviated by automatic black balance adjustment  
Before storing the unit for a long period  
Remove the battery pack.  
Smear  
When an extremely bright object, such as a strong spotlight  
or flashlight, is being shot, vertical tails may be produced

smallest “Memory Stick Micro” (“M2” ) size. Once  
attached to a Memory Stick Duo adapter, a “Memory Stick  
Duo” is the same size as a standard “Memory Stick,” and  
as a result can be used with products requiring a standard  
“Memory Stick.” Also, once attached to a standard-size  
M2 adaptor, a “Memory Stick Micro” is the same size as a  
standard “Memory Stick,” and as a result can be used with  
products requiring a standard “Memory Stick.”  
Usable type of “Memory Stick”  
You can use a “Memory Stick PRO” with this camera. The  
“Memory Stick PRO Duo” can also be used without using  
the Memory Stick Duo adaptor.
