| Product Information |
The PDW-F350 is a true-shoulder mount camcorder, perfectly balanced to fit on your shoulder and featuring the evolution of familiar Sony ergonomics.While most entry-level high definition cameras only have 1/3" CCDs, the PDW-F350 features 3 x 1/2" HD CCDs delivering class-leading dynamic range and high sensitivity. The advantage of using the world's only 1/2" CCD doesn't just mean superior performance, it also provides compatibility with all existing 1/2 inch lenses.The PDW-F350 is also exceptionally versatile; at the flick of a switch you have the choice of 50i/60i/25P/30P/24p in DV and HD. So you could shoot a local news assignment today, a wedding video tomorrow and your independent short film the day after - all with the same camera, all with the exact settings required to excel in each application.At the heart of the PDW-F350 is XDCAM professional disc - the world's bestselling, most affordable and most widely supported non-linear acquisition system. The benefits of XDCAM begin from the moment you begin shooting. You can mark key scenes manually or rely on automatic marking, then review scenes by simply selecting their thumbnail images on the color fold-out screen. Non-linear media means instant scene access and there's no need to worry about overwriting content either.For post-production, the PDW-F350 outputs a standard DV-based stream so your existing NLE set-up will work with it just the same as a DV/DVCAM camcorder. You can choose the pace at which you move to the full potential of an advanced AV/IT, file-based workflow.The PDW-F350 is engineered to provide you with the most cost-effective and versatile camcorder you can imagine for the way you work today and tomorrow.

| Expanded Product Features |
- HD-native 16:9/4:3 switchable CCDs
XDCAM HD camcorders incorporate three HD-native, 16:9/4:3 switchable 1/2-inch CCDs, offering outstanding-quality images with a low smear level and a high signal-to-noise ratio. - Real-time SD output
Even when recording in MPEG HD, XDCAM HD camcorders output a real-time SD signal via i.LINK DV out and composite out, further enhancing versatility and operational compatibility. - Quick and slow motion 4-60p
The PDW-F350 can record any frame rate between 4p to 50p for 25p playback mode, or, 4p to 60p for 24p/30p playback mode and content can be reviewed instantly. - Advanced optical features
The XDCAM HD camcorder has a built-in optical Neutral Density (ND) filter wheel with four positions and a slow shutter - supporting up to 64-frame accumulations. An auto-focus function is built-in. - HD 1080 recording at selectable frame and bit rates
XDCAM HD products can record video signals in 1080/59.94i, 50i, 29.97p, 25p and native 23.98p. Choosing the highest bit rate of 35Mb/s results in a recording time of approximately 60 minutes, while choosing 18Mb/s provides a recording time of approximately 120 minutes - the longest recording time offered by any current HD camcorder. MPEG HD images are recorded at 1440 x 1080 pixels with 4:2:0 sampling. - DVCAM recording and up/down conversion
To maximize HD/SD workflow flexibility, all XDCAM HD camcorders can record in the ubiquitous DVCAM format with a choice of NTSC/PAL and 16:9/4:3 modes. In addition, both camcorder and decks incorporate a down-conversion capability that allows material recorded in the MPEG HD format to be converted to DV signals and output via the i.LINK port - enabling users to edit the material using compatible DV-based non-linear editors. - High-quality audio recording
XDCAM HD products can record two or four-channel, 16-bit, 48-kHz uncompressed (Linear PCM) audio - delivering high sound quality. - Advanced scene selection functionality
The PDW-F350's 16:9 3.5-inch color LCD displays a highly advanced interface giving access to features most camcorders leave to post production. For example, a thumbnail display provides immediate access to detailed metadata or key scenes for quickly reviewing content on site. You can even perform simple cuts-only editing on the camera itself. - Advanced proxy recording
XDCAM HD products automatically record low-resolution AV data simultaneously with the HD or SD resolution data on the same disc. This low resolution content - called "Proxy Data" - uses MPEG-4 to be high compact while still offering reasonable quality. - High level of reliability
XDCAM HD camcorders share the same platform as the XDCAM SD products which have proven themselves in demanding applications all around the world. As there is no mechanical contact between media and recording heads, a high level of durability and long media life have been achieved. XDCAM products have also demonstrated exceptional resistance to shock, vibrations and extremes of climate.
