3. Depth of FieldBasically, DoF is the optical distance range in which objects are focused:SensorCameralensFurthest distance ofacceptable sharpnessClosest distance of acceptable sharpnessFocal planeDoFDefocusedDefocusedSharpness

4. Depth of FieldOne of the factors of DoF is sensor: the bigger the sensor, the shallower the DoFVideo1/4”, 1/3”, 1/2”, 2/3”Cinema and PhotoS35, FF, APS-C, 4/3

7. Rolling shutter – “Jelly” effect / SkewCMOS sensor is “sequential” (line by line):CameraImageSensor beginsto capture (to be filled)Previous pixelskeep capturedSensor is full:outputSensor is empty:Ready tocaptureSensor beginsto capture againPrevious pixelskeep capturedt=0t=Tt=1/50 s…For a realistic panoramic shooting, “T” should be as short as possible=> Faster processor and/or less information to output

8. Rolling shutter – Banding / Partial exposureCMOS sensor is “sequential” (line by line):CameraImageSensor beginsto capture (to be filled)Flash is triggeredPrevious pixels keep capturedSensor is full:OutputSensor is empty:Ready tocaptureSensor beginsto capture againFlash endsPrevious pixels keep capturedt=0t=Tt=1/50 s…The more resolution the sensor has, the more likely banding to appear=> Faster processor and/or less information to output

9. Resolution of the sensorSensor size provides us the “optical/geometrical” character of the sensorSensor resolution is more related to picture qualityLight: 0% (black)Case: Same sensor size, different resolution:

10. Resolution of the sensorSensor size provides us the “optical/geometrical” character of the sensorSensor resolution is more related to picture qualityLight: 0% (black)Light: 100% (white)Bigger pixel size means:Larger dynamic rangeMore immune vs noiseLess aliasing when interpolatingLess rolling shutter effectSo…Better behaviour in high/low lightsLess noisy in low lightsLess moiré effectLess “jelly” and banding effectsCase: Same sensor size, different resolution:This sensor outputs Xpieces of info between2 framesThis sensor outputs 4*Xpieces of info between2 framesIt takes 4x time to outputthe info on the second sensor

13. Why NEX-FS700?Most of our customers were happy with FS100, but wanted EVEN MORE:“Having 422 output for recording is fine, but could I have also SDI?”“I understand why not ND filters, but is there any way to have them?”“I have several E-mount adapters for different lenses, will you go on with E-mount?”“Is there any way to improve S&Q motion, in order to reach a slow motion recording?”“I use to work with many cameras and hire when travelling; could I copy settings from one to another?”“I also work with F3; could you add cine gammas?”“Super35 mm sensor is nice, but could we reach 4k with that quality?”“Sometimes I need to shoot photos, but FullHD is poor resolution; could I get more on the same camera?”

14. NEX-FS700EOur answer to these requests…
