About the Sony Cinema Line FX30 Super 35 Camera.

Our camera has been modified with a camera cage to better meet the needs of our filmmaking students, but we’ll get to that later. The camera is housed in a black Pelican case.

Inside the case, you’ll find the Sony Cinema Line FX30 Super 35 Camera, three batteries and a battery charger. These are the things that come standard with the case.

You may add a field monitor, HDMI jumper cable and a tripod.

The camera kit must always be returned to us in this manner. Items should be in their respective place at the time of your return.

Let’s first focus on the camera body.

You can see, the rig is laying screen side down in this compartment.

Next is the lens.

Notice how it is housed in its own case. 

Next, is the Atomos Shinobi monitor.

Notice how the monitor is top down, with the cold shoe mount facing up.

Refer to the laminated card inside the case to know where each item goes.

Now that you know what comes with the camera kit, we must remind you – to avoid suspension, all items must be returned to us in the same condition and location that you received it.

We recommend that you take a photo of how each item is packed before you use them.

Now, let’s talk more about the physical nature of the camera.

The camera has been modified with a camera cage so students may attach a field monitor to the camera, to better protect it, and to offer a top handle for easier handling. The cage may never be removed from the camera.

The camera has a flip-out LCD screen. It should be noted that the LCD screen should be rotated back to its normal state with the screen side facing the camera.

To insert an SD card:

To access the media slots, push the latch down then slide the door toward the back of the camera.The spring loaded door opens so you can the media slots.

With the label on the SD facing the touch screen, insert the SD card into Slot 1 until you feel it lock into place. With the label on the SD card facing the lens, insert the SD card into Slot 2 until you feel it lock into place.

To charge the battery pack:

  1. Insert the battery pack into the camera.
  2. Open the battery cover, and then insert the battery pack while pressing the lock lever.
  3. The storage information at the bottom of the LCD touchscreen will show the name and record time remaining of the detected SD card.

Be sure to never expose the sensor to direct sunlight, your breath, dust, cleaning cloths or extreme temperatures. Minimize open air exposure to 10 seconds or less.
