Sony has revealed details of the upcoming firmware version 7 for the F5 and F55 cameras. Its due out in January. Its great how Sony has really stuck to their commitment to continuously updating these cameras. It helps current owners feel like their investment is protected and hopefully it helps prospective owners feel that the these cameras are 'long haul' products, not something to cycled through every 24 months.
From Sony:
The F5 and F55 platform continues to be refined. We are excited to announce details of the upcoming Version 7 firmware for the F5, and F55 motion picture cameras.
Quick Menu: Version 7 firmware features a significant update in the operator's experience. Powerful features will now be easily accessible through an intuitive interface for fast and efficient navigation at the users fingertips, by utilizing the sub display and the silver buttons on the camera.
Implementing Rec. 2020: As you know Sony has the widest color gamut of any motion picture camera. In addition to the existing color spaces, Sony is implementing the ITU-R BT. 2020 (Rec. 2020) standard, the native color space of new generation 3840 x 2160 4K Ultra HD.
Expanded options for simultaneous recording: Due to popular demand from documentary production needing to shoot 59.94i HD with 59.94p 4K Sony is implementing simultaneous recording to the same SxS Pro+ card of MPEG2 50Mbps 4:2:2 and 10 bit 4:2:2 4K XAVC in either 3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160. This is a powerful workflow that will allow productions with high shooting ratios to significantly reduce the time and money to produce 4K content.
These are very powerful features, and are a strong testimonial to the continued development of the F5 and F55 platform – and there is more to come!
