12. Super 35
When delivered, the camera is set to Super 35.
The Super 35 format offers a range of technical
advantages compared to filming with anamorphic lenses:
a larger selection of available focal lengths,
smaller and lighter-weight lenses,
faster lenses,
shorter lens focus for close-up shots,
clearly reduced image distortion and geometric aberrations.
In addition, a greater variety of post-production
possibilities is available.
For shooting in Normal 35, the lens mount receptacle and
the upper plate of the bridge plate must be altered for the
format. This ensures that the lenses and accessories are
exactly aligned to the optical center of Normal 35.
