23.98p Native Recording
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 offer a native 23.98p* recording
capability. This feature, accompanied by other creative features,
makes the camcorder ideal for cinema production.
* In 1440x1080/23.98p (SP) mode, images are handled as 23.98p and recorded
as 59.94i signals via 2-3 pull-down.
Slow & Quick Motion Function
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 offer a Slow & Quick Motion function
that enables users to create unique ‘looks’ by slow- and fast-
motion effects. The camcorders can capture images at frame rates
selectable from 1 frame per second (fps) to 60 fps in 720p mode
and from 1 fps to 30 fps in 1080p mode, in increments of 1 fps.
For example, when viewed at 23.98p, images captured at 60 fps
appear two-and-a-half times slower than normal. Conversely,
images captured at 4 fps appear six times faster than normal.
With this function, images are recorded natively with no padded
frames and at full resolution.
Slow Shutter Function
The maximum accumulation period is at a 64-frame shutter speed.
Selectable Gamma Curves
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 offer a wide variety of gamma curves
to flexibly handle contrast, and give a specific ‘look’ to an image.
In addition to six types of standard gamma curves, there are four
types of Hyper Gamma which are identical to those on high-end
CineAlta™ camcorders.
Interval Recording Function
The Interval Recording function intermittently records one frame
at pre-determined intervals. This is convenient for shooting over
long periods of time, and also when creating special effects with
extremely rapid motion.
Frame Recording Function
The Frame Recording function is particularly useful for clay
animation shooting.
ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) and Hold
The Auto Tracing White Balance function automatically adjusts
the camera’s color temperature according to changes in lighting
conditions. If required, the user can hold auto tracing at a desired
color balance via an assignable switch.
Image Inverter
With a DOF (Depth of Field) adaptor to attach a cinema or still-
camera lens to the camera, the image is rotated 180 degrees. This
Image Inverter function normalizes the image by reverse scanning.
Turbo Gain
The gain can be chosen from a wide range of preset values
between -3 dB and +42 dB*.
* The range for the PMW-320 is between -3 dB and +24 dB.
DVCAM Recording and Playback
To realize smooth migration from current SD operation to near-future
HD operation, the PMW-320 supports DVCAM format recording and
playback as the standard function. For the PMW-350, an optional
hardware key, the CBK-DV01, is required.
Picture Cache Recording
With the Picture Cache Recording function, up to 15 seconds of
audio and video signals are buffered into the camcorder’s internal
memory even before the record start button is pressed. This helps to
prevent loss of any unexpected yet important events.
Freeze Mix Function
The Freeze Mix function superimposes a previously recorded image
on the viewfinder. This allows the operator to quickly and easily
frame or reposition a subject when a shot must be taken from the
same position, or in the same framework, as a previous take.
Four-channel Audio*
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 come equipped with four channels
of 16-bit, 48-kHz, linear PCM uncompressed audio recording. Each
channel level can be controlled individually.
* When an SxS memory card with four-channel audio is replayed by the PMW-EX1,
PMW-EX1R, PMW-EX3, or PMW-EX30, only CH-1/2 or CH-3/4 can be replayed.
Scene File System
The Scene File feature allows camera operators to easily call up
customized picture-tonal settings - such as the parameters of matrix,
detail, gamma, and knee - to suit particular shooting conditions. This
gives users greater operational efficiency. SxS memory cards can
be used for storing and loading scene files.
Viewfinder with 3.5-inch* Color LCD
The PMW-350 and PMW-320 have a large, easy-to-view, color
LCD with a high resolution of 1920 x 480 pixels, which simplifies
focusing. The viewfinder can also be used to instantly review
recorded footage, as well as access and view the camera’s set-up
menus, thumbnails, and status indications.
Both camcorders also have an interface
for the DXF-20W, DXF-51, and
DXF-C50W**.
* Viewable area measured diagonally.
** The supplied viewfinder and
DXF viewfinder cannot be used
concurrently.
