XDCAM HD Camcorders PDW-F355/PDW-F335 Camcorder The PDW-F355 and PDW-F335 are highly versatile and cost-effective HD camcorders that are equipped with three 1/2-inch-type HD CCDs, and offer HD recording in 1080/59.94i, 50i, 29.97P, 25P, and 23.98P modes - as well as DVCAM-format recording. A rich variety of features useful for creative shooting are incorporated into these camcorders such as Interval Recording, Slow-Shutter, and Selectable Gamma Curve. Additionally, the PDW-F355 provides a "Slow & Quick Motion" function, which is also commonly known as "over-cranking" and "under-cranking". Disc recording provides users with a number of benefits that are specifically useful during shooting. For example, because new footage is always recorded onto an empty area of the disc, there is no need to cue-up to the next recording position before shooting. This means that operators can start shooting without the worry of accidentally recording over existing footage. In short, the XDCAM HD camcorders are ideally suited to a broad array of shooting opportunities such as event shooting, news gathering, field productions, and indie productions. PDW-F355 8 PDW-F335
