The camera features 2/3” CCDs and can accept the full range of B-4 mount lenses.

The HDW-F-900 is a “true” 1080 line camera capable of shooting in many different modes including 23.98psf, 24psf, 25psf, 29.97psf, 30psf 50i, 59.94i, and 60i.

The HDW F-900 is a bit of a chameleon. That is to say that you can produce lots of different looks with the camera depending upon your application. News and sports producers tend to shoot in the interlace modes. They like the clean, crisp, look that the camera delivers.

Contrast that with the look desired by the director of photography on a feature. Most DPs prefer having a soft, almost ethereal look to their footage. Putting the camera into one of its progressive modes is your gateway to the “filmic” experience. Once you plunge into the various menu settings of the camera, you will feel as if you have a virtual electronic palette at your fingertips.
