With the release of Sony’s PXW-FS7 digital cinema camera, the possibility of recording stunning, cinematic-quality 4K, 2K, and HD images with an affordable camera has become a reality. However, like any professional camera of this caliber, the FS7 is extremely complex and has a steep learning curve. And that’s why this Master Class has been created by Vortex Media to help FS7 owner/operators get started off on the right foot. This 6-hour training video series is the most thorough and efficient way to learn both the fundamentals and advanced features of Sony’s revolutionary PXW-FS7 camcorder.
Note to PXW-FS7M2 owners: There are no plans to produce a new Master Class that covers the FS7M2 because the differences between the two cameras are mostly physical and should not require further explanation. An exception is the revolutionary Variable ND control of the FS7M2, therefore a new section has been added to Chapter 10 that explains this function.
Doug Jensen, a director of photography with over two dozen Sony camcorder training videos and books to his credit, leads you through all the major features and functions of this amazing 4K camcorder. Not only does Doug tell you "what" a feature does, he also explains "why", "when", and "how" to use it. This is as close to a one-on-one training session with Doug Jensen as you can get without actually hiring him yourself for personal instruction. In no time at all he’ll have you up to speed on all of the camera’s features and functions -- plus Doug shares his favorite custom settings, scene files, best practices, and dozens of tips and tricks.
In the no-nonsense style for which Doug Jensen is known, he cuts through the clutter of confusing, misunderstood, and undocumented features. He demystifies the camera and explains each of its functions while providing practical, step-by-step instructions for how to use them. His suggestions and advanced techniques will improve the quality of your footage, streamline your workflow, and make you more productive.
Topics include: Getting Started, Creating a User Menu, Recording Formats, the Custom Shooting Mode, Paint Menus, Scene Files, the Cine EI Shooting Mode, LUTs & Look Profiles, Setting Exposure, White Balance, Markers, All Files, Memory Cards, Video Monitoring, S&Q Motion, custom Clip Naming, Assign Buttons, Audio Recording, Timecode, Picture Cache, Interval Recording, Wi-Fi Control, System Menus, Playback Operation, Ingesting & Archiving, and much more.
This master class is a completely independent production with no sponsorship, input, or approval from Sony. It delivers unbiased information and professional advice that can’t be found from any other source.
