Sony FR7

Description

Cinematography meets robotics

---

The Sony FR7 provides smooth pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) control coupled with a full-frame image sensor and a high-quality E-mount lens line-up.

Focal length and shallow depth of field provide creative freedom and combine with remote PTZ control capability to open a new world of creative potential.

---

With its integrated, remotely controllable pan and tilt mechanism, the Sony FR7 can be mounted on the ceiling or in other out-of-the-way locations. Follow your subjects or instantly recall pre-composed shot framings, for unprecedented creative potential.

---

With a newly developed Web App that enables easy access via QR code or URL input, you can set up the Sony FR7 from a tablet or a PC through a web browser. You can also use the optional RM-IP500 for precise joystick-controlled pan, tilt and zoom operation.

---

Bearing the Cinema Line name, the Sony FR7 incorporates key features that support cinematic expression. The FR7 features a back-illuminated 35 mm full-frame CMOS image sensor for the first time in a pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) camera. Also the BIONZ XR™ contributes to superb image quality with high sensitivity, smooth gradations, and true-to-life colour.

---

The FR7 features Sony’s E-mount and can be used with all E-mount lenses. These include the superlative G Master series, known for its stunning resolution and beautiful bokeh. A choice of focal lengths ranging from 12 mm to 1200 mm gives you comprehensive creative control.
