Now that the Sony F65 cameras have begun to hit the streets, there are a lot of questions about working with this totally new and very powerful system. On these pages we'll be providing technical setup and workflow information to our customers. Why? Because, we're Band Pro. That's what we do.
This page will feature information about how to setup and configure the Sony F65 camera, recording, off-loading, data management, and workflow. We have an ongoing testing protocol which means that new information will become available all the time. We will send out emails to our customers when we add a significant new item, but be sure to check back regularly as well.
