The PDW-F800 supports all the features of the PDW-700 and all the XDCAM formats as standard. In addition to the PDW-700 feature set, the following new features are added.
- 24P format for HD422/420(1080i) and SD formats (DVCAM, MPEG IMX) are supported as standard.
- Slow & Quick function Over crankling speed is up to x2.0 and shooting speed can be set at every single frame between 1p to 48P/50P/60P.
- Optical CC filter (Note: Electrical CC filter is not available in PDW-F800)
- Image inverter

With the attachment of a 2/3" cinema lens adaptor for ultra prime lens and anamorphic lens, the shot image can be inversed.
- User Gamma: The gamma curve can be changed by using CVP Editor Ver.4.0 in addition to the current 4 types of Hyper Gamma settings. (CVP Editor Ver.4.0 is available via eCsite WEB for F23 and HDC-1500.)
- Focus assist
- Marker information can be superimposed on HD-SDI(2).

- 2.2M pixels (1920 x 1080) RGB 3 CCD Sensors
- Supports both 1080 and 720
- 14bit A/D converter
- MPEG-2 422p@HL format
- Bit rate is 50Mbps for both 1080 and 720
- Audio Format 24bit x 8ch (PDW-F800 can record up to 4ch Audio at the same time)
- Multi-Format & Legacy Format Support as standard

All the legacy formats (DVCAM, MPEG IMX 30/40/50Mbps, MPEG HD 420 18*/25/35Mbps) are supported for both recording and playback. (* 18Mbps is playback only)

- “Shockless gain control” provides a smooth transition in gain control.
- Built-in 3.5inch* LCD Monitor + Independent timecode LCD (*Viewable area measured diagonally).
- Slow shutter (up to 16 frame accumulation) / Freez Mix / Interval recording
- Picture Cache Recording & Disc Exchange Cache

Maximum duration is 30sec. This picture cache mode can be ON even in EJECT operation and consequently sequential recording is possible while replacing a disc.
- Store files onto Memory Stick® media

“All file”, “Scene file”, “Lens file” and “User file” setting parameters can be stored to the internal memory and Memory Stick media.
- Digital extender (x2)
- Focus magnification (x2)

X2 magnified camera picture is available in the viewfinder which can help with precise focus adjustment.
- Assignable switch

PDW-F800 provides a total of 6 assignable switches (ASSIGN 1 to 4, COLOR TEMP, LENS RET)
- Clip Continuous REC

This mode allows users to create a single, large clip with multiple rec. start & stop. The Rec. start Essence Mark (EM) is recorded to every rec. start frame. The benefits of using this mode are:
- Possible to have more than 300 “takes” on a disc.
- Faster transfer speed by sending a single clip. (No over-head for file open/close process)
- Remote Recording over HD-SDI connection (with PDW-HD1500, F70, F75)
- Built-in Multi Format Converter
- Downconversion from HD to SD, Upconversion from SD to HD and cross conversion between 1080 and 720 are possible in Playback mode
- Upconversion from SD to HD is possible in Record mode
- Mix format recording within the same system frequency group
- Aspect Ratio Control In the downconversion process from HD to SD, Squeeze / Edge Crop / Letter Box are available. In the upconversion process from SD to HD, Squeeze / Edge Crop / Letter Box are available.
- Extensive Range of A/V Interface (See the specification sheet)

Pool Feed recording capability (Composite, SD-SDI, HD-SDI) is supported by option boards.
- Ether-net interface

File transfer through Ether-net connection
