Sony’s PMW-F3 camera is pushing the envelope of HD production with its newly designed Super-35mm size sensor and high quality output. This two-day workshop covers the many functions of the PMW-F3 including detailed instruction on camera operation, lens choice, production techniques, and aftermarket accessories. Emphasis is on developing an understanding of the camera sensor, recording format, lens choice, and menu systems.
In the first day of the course, Abel trainers will give a full introduction to the F3 including: sensor specifics, recording formats, output options, menu systems, assignable functions, and basic color control. Topics covered on the first day of training will prepare attendees for topics covered on day two.
In the second day of the course, Abel trainers will demonstrate practical shooting examples, give an in-depth look at the camera’s picture profiles, explain gamma modes including S-Log, and LUT options. This is a very hands-on day, where attendees will be able to develop and fully understand the complexities of creating a look with the F3.
F3 owners are encouraged to attend both days of this workshop, but AbelCine also offers the option to attend either day on its own. Anyone who purchases an F3 from AbelCine may attend one day of the workshop for free. Please click here for a coupon code worth one free day or half off the full workshop.
For attendees of the class only, AbelCine is also offering a free third day of hands-on activity with the camera. Attendees will be able to join Abel trainers to shoot with the camera, ask specific questions, and try out different techniques. This third day is very informal and is intended to give participants more hands-on time with the camera. Attendees will receive instructions on how to register for this hands-on workshop upon registration confirmation.
