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.

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.

Chapter
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.
3-1 SelectionoftheBasic
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.

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
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
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.

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
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.

About a “Memory Stick”
What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile
IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data
capacity that exceeds a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is
specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data
among “Memory Stick” compatible products. Because it is
removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for external
data storage.
“Memory Stick PRO”
“Memory Stick” with “MagicGate” copyright protection
technology, exclusive for “Memory Stick PRO”-compliant
products.
“Memory Stick” media are available in three sizes:
standard size, compact “Memory Stick Duo” size, and the
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.
This camera is not compliant with Parallel mode of
“Memory Stick.”
The camera operations have been checked using “Memory
Stick PRO” media up to 8GB.
