Doug Jensen’s Guide to the Sony PMW-F55
If you love the shallow depth-of-field and image control that you can get with 35mm film cameras and SLRs — but want the ergonomics, professional features, lens options, and the reliability of a traditional Sony camcorder, then the F55 was made for you.
Like many professional cameras of this caliber, the F55 is extremely complex and requires leaning a whole new set of tools and workflows. This book has been written to help F55 owner/operators get started off on the right foot and flatten the learning curve as much as possible. With over 300 pages of detailed information, there isn’t a single important subject not included.
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 Card choices, Video Monitoring, 2K Center Scan, Shooting RAW, S&Q Motion, custom Clip Naming, Assign Buttons, Audio Recording, Timecode & Genlock, Picture Cache, Interval Recording, Wi-Fi Control, System Menus, Playback Operation, Updating Firmware, Ingesting & Archiving, and much more.

In 2013 I spent 26 days working with Doug as we documented my 3,314 mile bike ride around France. This was the most ambitious cinéma vérité project ever shot with Sony's F55. Having Doug's extensive experience and knowledge in the field gave all of us tremendous peace of mind. His meticulous attention to detail is extraordinary. I can assure you that everything you need to know about the F55 is covered in Doug's latest Guide which utilizes great illustrations and logical step by step instructions to help you master this wonderful camera.
