You may recall that a few months ago, Sony released the highly anticipated Firmware 8.0 for their Sony PMW-F5 and Sony PMW-F55 cameras. However, it is worth nothing that unlike conventional previous firmware updates this firmware is serial numbers specific meaning that certain F5 and F55 cameras within a serial number range cannot perform the upgrade.
Sony's new AXS-R7 4K Raw Recorder for the PMW-F5/F55 CineAlta cameras is so much more than just a 4K recorder. The AXS-R7 expands the functionality of the cameras by adding a new X-OCN (Extended Original Camera Negative) 16-bit compressed raw format for more streamlined workflows but with all the benefits or Raw recording.
