During this concentrated operational class, students will learn how to get the most out of the F5 and F55 by reviewing concepts like utilizing the cameras’ 14 stop dynamic range, deciding when to chose 4K XAVC over 4K RAW and taking advantage of the F55’s ultra-wide color gamut. Held in the renowned Digital Motion Picture Center on the lot at Sony Pictures, the F5/F55 Master Class will give students a unique opportunity to shoot and grade 4K images as viewed on a 25 foot screen with a 4K projector.
