A dockable interface system is employed to conform to
versatile shooting conditions and on-site demands.

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.
Compatible with film-camera accessories
The F35 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 F35 without modification, enabling
users who principally work with film to fully utilize their
assets.
Having one 12 V DC output connector and another 24 V

DC output connector, the F35 can supply power to such
compatible accessories attached to it through these
connectors.

camera, an independent power supply of 24V DC is required in addition to
the 12 V power.
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

Operational Versatility
Two operation modes: Cine and Custom
The F35 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 (degree) and
shutter speed (second).

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.
Image inversion function
The image inversion function, field-proven in Sony's F23
digital cinematography camera and HDW-F900R HD
digital camcorder, is included among the standard
functions with the F35.
The delay of video relative to audio may vary according to
the ON/OFF setting of this function (see page 124).

indicator layout to that of the on-camera control panel and
provides intuitive remote control of basic camera
operations, such as control of frame rate (fps), shutter
(indication in angles enabled), gain, color temperature
(switching between Tungsten and Daylight enabled),
timecode/tape remaining check, character indications, and
function assignment to the assignable buttons.
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.
Twin-viewfinder operation
Two viewfinders can be attached to the F35 for
simultaneous monitoring with different settings of
