Sensor Framing Options

KineRAW-S35’s native frame is 4K S35mm which can be cropped into 2K S16mm in one second, and you get many options on framing: choose 2K S35mm (in-camera binned) image output and also 2K S16mm image output (crop mode). For 2K S35mm frame, DSLR lens and PL cine lens are used; for 2K S16mm frame, B4 mount lens and even S16mm cine PL mount lens are reborn to work for you. KineMOUNT to B4 and PL mounting adapters built in steel handle heavy PL lens and B4 mounting lens easily. At same time, it powers the zoom servo motor.

Recording Codec

KineRAW-S35 features two great RAW options: Cineform RAW and CinemaDNG, choose one or both based on your post-workflow. From the frontend, there is no difference, but the speed of consuming SSD in CinemaDNG is much faster than Cineform.

Accurate Automatic WB

KineRAW provides accurate Automatic WB, so that you can deal with complicated lighting environment easily. Just use grey card or white card before lens, to set the WB accurately instantly. KineRAW would save the parameter into camera for later usage. Besides, KineRAW has two options for white-balance list: simple list and complete list. The complete list contains a long list for different lighting and different WB value (step is 50K) . For most cases, an appropriate WB setting you could find to match your condition.

Sport Mode

KineRAW-S35 features sport mode which reduces rolling effect greatly, seems like global shutter. Sport Mode is designed to make KineRAW-S35 handle quick movement shootings, like handheld, shots on shoulder, documentary style.

Slow and Quick Motion

KineRAW-S35 is capable of slow and quick motion capture (overcrank and undercrank). As of overcrank/slow-mo, it supports high fps up to 100fps @ 720p when in S35 framing mode; and fps up to 60fps @2K and 1080p when in S16 crop framing mode. As of undercrank/quick-mo, the lowest fps is down to 6fps under current firmware. You can set any custom sensor fps between lowest and highest fps, the accuracy is 0.001fps, while recording fps is set by project fps in the camera. It provides much more possibilities over fixed fps like 24, 25, 30fps.

EI and ISO

EI/ISO is a setting on capture abilit of Image Sensor. KineRAW™ can config in three ways: EI to match film camera setting; ISO to match general camera setting, even Advanced mode to set highlight level and ISO at the same time.

Double Record Mode

KineRAW-S35 provides much safer recording mode as Double Record Mode in new firmware, since KineRAW-S35 has two 2.5′ SSD slots. KineRAW-S35 can record same footage into two separate SSDs, then you can get two copies of footage naturally when shooting. Obviously, it is very important and convenient for shooting on critical scenes like film, TV and talk.

Smart Playback

KineRAW-S35 can playback/delete clips recorded in SSD quickly in smart way. You can check the waveform, histogram and Zoom focusing when playback, like you do in live view.

Advanced Waveform

KineRAW-S35 has waveform in-camera: you don’t need to buy monitor with waveform. Using waveform, cameraman can judge exposure quickly and accurately. The difference between KineRAW and other camera is that KineRAW has two ways to examine the exposure: just RAW data or RAW+LUT data. RAW data is what sensor sees directly; and RAW+LUT data is more like human eyes, in waveform and histogram.

Real 3D Shots

KineRAW-S35 can take real 3D shots. Just one SYNC cable to connect two KineRAW-S35 SYNC port, set up Master and Slave instantly. 3D SYNC means: Scan sync, frame sync and time code sync, less than 5uS of mismatch!

Histogram with Tick Mark

KineRAW-S35 integrate not only histogrm, but also special tick mark. The tick mark has two ticks: one is grey, the other is white. That means 18% grey and 90% white respectively. The exposure level would lie on the grey or white tick if you use 18% grey card or 90% white card before camera, and set ISO, Iris and shutter time accurately, based on lightmeter. Like waveform, histogram also shows RAW or RAW+LUT data automatically.

ZOOM

KineRAW-S35 provides Zoom to help focusing: full, 100%, 200%, 800%. Just press the Zoom button to toggle zoom ratio quickly. Zoom to 800% provides an interesting focusing signal: aliasing clear means focusing right.

Smart FAN Control

KineRAW-S35 has in-camera fan to cool the camera itself and make camera work well in stable condition. Fan generates noise. You can choose Record Stop in Fan setting to make FAN stop works temporarily: Fan works when live view; Stops when recording begins so that it is totally quiet when recording. It is very important in quiet environment, and sensitive to any audible noise.

Framing Ratio: 2.39:1

KineRAW supports 2.39:1 liveview and recording natively, besides 2K and 1080p resolution. 2.39:1 is DCI flat standard, which is often used in short film and cinema projection.

Anamorphic Lens

If you have anamorphic lens and want to give super wide effect, KineRAW camera can fullfil the dream. KineRAW-S35 supports anamorphic lens in live view and playback, just setting the display ratio according to your anamorphic ratio. For example, you will get 3K: 1K image effect if you use 1.5:1 anamorphic lens in 2K shots. All you have to do is set the anamorphic ratio in configure menu.

Upgrade Firmware in One Minutes

KineRAW functions more than just a data table, by updating firmware. Updating firmware is easy and quick: less one minute, the update job is done.

Iris-Control on EF Lens

KineRAW-S35 supports majority of lens with iris-control as soon as you buy active EF mounting adapter. KineRAW displays Iris number and tune it directly. Also you can just disable electronic active EF mounting adapter so that protects it from all-metal lens backend. Check the compatible lens white list.
