1. Overview
Features
New 8.6K 36 mm × 24 mm full frame
CMOS image sensor (MPC-3628)
The MPC-3628 is equipped with a newly
developed 36mm × 24mm full frame, 8.6K
CMOS image sensor and can record images
up to 8640×5760 pixels.* By switching the
imager mode, the unit supports standard
Super 35mm 24.1mm × 12.7mm, 5792×3056
pixel resolution and 6:5 anamorphic, Super
35mm 24.1mm × 20.2mm, 5792×4854 pixel
resolution.* This makes the unit effective not
only for 8K content production but also for
VFX compositing. It is also possible to produce
high-quality 4K content by oversampling from
8.6K resolution content.
* Full-Frame and Anamorphic modes require licenses
sold separately.
6K 36mm × 24mm full frame CMOS
image sensor (MPC-3626)
The MPC-3626 features the same image
sensor as VENICE (MPC-3610) and supports
image capture at resolutions up to 6048×4032
pixels.* By switching the imager mode, the
unit supports standard Super 35mm 24.3mm
× 12.8mm, 4096×2160 pixel resolution
(equivalent to 3-perforation motion picture
film) and 4:3 anamorphic, Super 35mm
24.3mm × 18.3mm, 4096 × 3024 pixel
resolution (equivalent to 4-perforation motion
picture film).*
* Full-Frame and Anamorphic modes require licenses
sold separately.
Two interchangeable image sensors
The 8.6K image sensor and 6K image sensor
both feature system compatibility, allowing
the user to interchange the image sensor used
for operation. The VENICE (MPC-3610) imager
block is also compatible and can be attached
to the MPC-3628/3626.
Wide latitude
The MPC-3628 supports 16 stops of latitude,
while the MPC-3626 supports 15+ stops
of latitude. It features very low noise for
delivering phenomenal images in conditions
from searing sunlight to almost no light,
allowing for unprecedented creative freedom
in grading.
Wide color space capture
Images can be captured in a color space that
exceeds DCI-P3. The degree of freedom in the
grading is dramatically improved when using
Sony’s S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.Cine color
space together with S-Log3.
Dual Base ISO
Two types of base sensitivity are supported.
Using the low Base ISO setting (MPC-3628:
ISO 800, MPC-3626: ISO 500) under normal
lighting conditions or the high Base ISO
setting (MPC-3628: ISO 3200, MPC-3626: ISO
2500) under low light conditions allows you
to maintain the latitude balance between
highlights and lowlights when shooting,
without graining (noise).
PL lens mount
Equipped with the industry-standard PL lens
mount. The lens mount supports Cooke /i
technology, and lens information is recorded
as metadata frame by frame. Lens distortion
and shading metadata are recorded,
compatible with Cooke’s /i third generation
metadata technology (/i
3
) and ZEISS eXtended
Data Technology.
E-mount lens support
E-mount lenses are supported by removing
the PL lens adaptor. E-mount lenses are
smaller and lighter than PL lenses, and are
available in a diverse lineup for expanded
possibilities in image reproduction.
Imager block extension
On the MPC-3626 equipped with a 6K image
sensor, the imager block can be extended
from the camera body by 2.7 m (8.9 ft) or
5.5 m (18 ft) by connecting the CBK-3610XS
Camera Extension System, which also enables
shooting with a more compact camera head.
8-position optical ND filter
Employs an 8-position optical ND filter. It
offers a wide ND range of 0.3ND (1/2 = 1 stop)
to 2.4ND (1/256 = 8 stops) that reduces time
lost on set changing external ND filters. The
ND filter mechanism is servo-controllable, and
can be controlled from a computer, tablet, or
RM/RCP controller.
High Frame Rate (HFR) shooting
The 8.6K image sensor can record X-OCN at
frame rates up to 90 FPS, while the 6K image
sensor can record X-OCN at up to 120 FPS.
X-OCN and 4K ProRes recording formats
Video can be recorded in 16-bit X-OCN or 4K
ProRes, as standard recording formats, to AXS
memory cards. X-OCN is a format that can be
handled natively by many NLEs and grading
tools, and is recorded at the full resolution of
each sensor in each mode. 4K ProRes is widely
used as a 4K video format, and the image
captured by each image sensor in each mode
is oversampled* and recorded in 4K ProRes.
* When using the 6K image sensor (MPC-3626) in 4K
17:9, 4K 16:9, or 4K 2.39:1 imager mode, the captured
4K image is recorded as-is.
Compact body and intuitive operation
A relatively compact design for a device
equipped with a large full-frame image
sensor, achieved using Sony’s miniaturization
technology, which allows easier shooting in
confined spaces or on drones. The position,
shape, and size of the control buttons reflect
the requirements of camera operators
for intuitive operation. They also feature
backlighting for ease of use in dark locations.
Engineered to survive
The chassis is made from magnesium alloy for
high robustness and durability. The ventilation
system is completely isolated from all
electronic components to prevent ingress of
dust, sand, and liquids.* The silent-running fan
can be removed and cleaned on-set quickly
and easily to maintain high readiness.
* Design protects against dust and rain, but cannot
completely prevent the ingress of dust and liquid.
Modular design
The design allows you to flexibly support
various rigs and peripheral equipment
according to the shooting application. The top
handle and viewfinder are easily adjustable to
maintain ergonomic balance and ease of use
with lenses.
Intuitive and familiar on-set menu
operation
The menu screen is available from both sides
of the camera, with the main control display
on the Assistant side of the camera for fast
access to the camera settings by the camera
assistant while shooting. An OLED mini display
on the Operator side allows the operator to
access commonly accessed features such
as ND filter position, shutter, white balance,
exposure index (EI), and frame rate (FPS),

making it convenient for the operator to check
the status of the unit.
Paint control from RM/RCP and this unit
The unit supports control from an RM/
RCP remote control panel that can be used
with broadcast camcorders and system
cameras. Adjustment of various paint items is
supported. Paint control operations are also
supported using the full menu of the unit.

2. Preparation
Preparing a Power Supply
You can use a battery pack or AC power via an
AC adaptor.
For safety, use only the Sony battery packs
listed below.
Lithium-ion battery pack
BP-GL95B
AC adaptor
Adaptor that has a rating of 120 W or higher.
Using a Battery Pack
Insert the battery pack into the battery pack
mount (page 12) of the battery adaptor,
then slide the battery pack down to lock it in
place.
To remove it, unlock the battery pack by
sliding it up while pressing the battery release
lever (page 12), then remove it.
[Notes]
Before use, charge the battery pack with the battery
charger.
A warm battery pack immediately after use may not
be able to be fully recharged.
Remove the battery adaptor while supporting the unit
by hand.
Checking the remaining battery charge
When recording or playback is in progress
using the battery pack, the current battery
remaining time and battery voltage are
displayed on the sub display screen
(page 36) and viewfinder/monitor screen
(page 14).
The unit indicates the remaining usage time in
minutes by calculating the available time with
the battery pack if operation is continued at
the current rate of power consumption.
If the remaining battery charge becomes
low
If the remaining battery charge decreases to a
certain level during operation, the remaining
battery capacity indicator flashes and the REC
lamp flashes to warn you.
If the remaining charge further decreases to a
level at which operation cannot be continued,
a battery-empty message appears.
Replace the battery pack with one that is fully
charged.
To change the message levels
Change levels using Technical > Batt./Voltage
Alarm (page 89) in the full menu.
Using AC Power (DC IN Power)
The unit works with AC power using a 120W
AC adaptor.
11V to 17V and 22V to 32V input voltage
ranges are supported.
[Notes]
When switching to the DC IN power supply during
battery operation, use a power supply with a voltage
in the range 12V to 17V for safer power supply
switching.
When using a 22V to 32V power supply, it is
recommended that you first set the power switch to
the OFF position before connecting the power supply.
Do not switch the DC IN power supply voltage
directly from a 11V to 17V power supply to a 22V to
32V power supply, or vice versa. This may cause a
malfunction.
Using a Battery Pack and DC IN
Power Supply Together
Whenever an active power supply is applied
using a battery pack and a DC IN power
supply, the DC IN power supply takes
precedence.
[Note]
When the power supply switches from battery operation
to the DC IN power supply, operation of the unit may
stop if the following occurs.
Chattering of the connector contacts when inserting
the DC connector
Voltage drop when switching between power
supplies (more prevalent when the external load is
greater)

Setting the Clock
When you use the unit for the first time, the
initial setup screen appears on the sub display
when the power is turned on.
Set the date and time of the built-in clock
using this display.
Time Zone
The value shows the time difference from UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time). Change the
setting if needed.
[Note]
When Time Zone is changed, the clock setting changes
according to the time difference.
Setting the Date and Time
Turn the MENU dial (page 10) to move the
cursor, then press the MENU dial to set each
menu item. When you press the MENU dial
when the cursor is on “Set, the setting display
disappears and the clock setting is completed.
After the initial setup screen disappears, you
can change Time Zone and date/time settings
using Maintenance > Clock Set (page 92) in
the full menu.
[Notes]
If the clock setting is cleared because the backup
battery fully discharged when no power was supplied
(no battery pack and no DC IN connection), the initial
setup display will be displayed when you next turn
the unit on.
While the initial setup display is shown, no other
operation, except turning the power off, is permitted
until you finish the setting for this display.

Interchanging the Imager Block
You can interchange the imager block.
This section describes the procedure for
interchanging the 8K imager block with the 6K
imager block as an example.
When attaching the 6K imager block, attach
the cover (MPC-3628: accessory, MPC-3626:
attached) for the 6K imager block.
[Note]
Before interchanging the imager block, turn off the
power for at least 10 minutes to allow the unit to cool.
Also, be careful of sharp edges when interchanging the
imager block.
1 Remove the two hex screws on the
bottom and four hex screws on the front,
and remove the 8K imager block.
Imager block
2 Attach the cover for the 6K imager block
with the side with engraved text facing
forward, and tighten with two screws
(tightening torque: 0.19N·m).
Cover for 6K
imager block
[Notes]
If the cover for the 6K imager block is not
attached, the heat dissipation of the 6K imager
block will become poor.
Remove the cover for the 6K imager block when
attaching the 8K imager block.
3 Attach the 6K imager block.
Make sure the imager block is straight,
and tighten the six hex screws removed in
step 1 (tightening torque: 1.4N·m).
Rebooting After Interchanging the
Imager Block
When the unit is turned on for the first time
after interchanging the imager block, startup
will take a bit longer because the unit needs
to reload sensor-specific data.
The unit will reboot automatically a few
minutes after being turned on when the
sensor-specific data has finished loading.

Basic Operation
Basic recording can be performed with the
following procedures.
1 Make sure that the necessary devices are
attached to the unit and power is supplied
to them.
2 Set the power switch (page 9) to the
ON position.
The recording screen is displayed on the
viewfinder screen.
3 Load the memory card(s).
If you load two AXS memory cards,
recording is continued by automatically
switching to the second card when the
first card becomes full.
4 Press the REC button (pages
9
,

).
The REC lamp lights and recording begins.
[Note]
If the unit cannot start recording immediately after
the pressing the REC button, the REC lamp flashes.
The REC lamp lights when recording starts.
5 To stop recording, press the REC button
again.
Recording stops and the unit enters STBY
(recording standby) mode.
When you stop recording, the video,
audio, and subsidiary data from the start
to the end of the recording are recorded
as a single clip.
Clip names
Clip names are recorded using the “Cam ID
+ Reel#” format. The clip name is created
according to the following rules.
When there is already a clip that is stored
using the “Cam ID + Reel#” name format on
the inserted AXS memory card, the new file
inherits from the last file.
Example: If “B002C003_XXXXXXXX” exists on
the AXS memory card, the next created clip
will be named “B002C004_XXXXXXXX.
If the inserted AXS memory card has no
files, “1” is added to the Reel Number of the
clip that was recorded last.
Example: If you record on empty card 2 after
recording up to “D001CXXX_XXXXXXXX” on
card 1, the next created clip will be named
“D002C001_XXXXXXXX. The clip name is
displayed underlined until recording starts.
If you set Camera ID and Reel Number using
the TC/Media category in the menu, that
information is applied.
Example: If you change Camera ID to “F”
and Reel Number to “001” in the menu for
the AXS memory card that has recorded up
to “E003CXXX_XXXXXXXX, the next clip will
be named “F001CXXX_XXXXXXXX. When
you change Camera ID only, Reel Number is
changed to “001.

You can check the aspect ratio, number of
pixels, and anamorphic ratio of configured
user frame lines for both user-configured
lines or a fixed aspect ratio using Aspect
Ratio(Pixels) (page 82).
[Notes]
The User Frame Line 2 > Preset Aspect Ratio Type
setting is set to Line (fixed).
The anamorphic ratio is not displayed for effective
picture size (Imager Mode) settings for which the
anamorphic ratio cannot be configured.
Assignable button operations
You can show/hide User Frame Line 1 and
User Frame Line 2 configured for Line A by
assigning Line A: User Frame Disp. to any
of assignable buttons 1 to 4, viewfinder
assignable buttons A to C, and ITEM keys 1 to 5
(page 48).
Each time the assignable button is pressed,
the display switches between User Frame Line
1 and 2 display User Frame Line 1 display
User Frame Line 2 display User Frame Line 1
and 2 hidden.
Similarly, you can show/hide User Frame Line

Ratio Disp. to any of assignable buttons 1 to
4, viewfinder assignable buttons A to C, and
ITEM keys 1 to 5. Each time the assignable
button is pressed, the display switches
between Aspect Ratio display and Aspect
Ratio hidden.
Picture Cache Recording
The unit always maintains a cache of video
and audio data in memory when shooting,
allowing you to record several seconds of
footage before the start of recording.
When you start recording with Project
> Special Recording > Cache Rec Select
(page 73) set to On in the full menu, video
of duration set by Project > Special Recording
> Max Cache Rec Duration (page 73) is
recorded retroactively.
You can also turn picture cache recording on/
off using an assignable button assigned with
the Picture Cache Rec function.
[Notes]
Restrictions to the Max Cache Rec Duration setting
may apply, depending on the project frame rate,
recording format, and recording media. For details,
see page 73.
Changing system settings, such as the recording
format, clears all images stored in memory.
Consequently, images shot just before changing
settings cannot be recorded, if recording is started
immediately after changing settings. Picture cache
mode is automatically released.
The picture cache settings cannot be changed during
recording.
Recording Review (Rec Review)
You can review the last recorded clip on
the screen by assigning the Rec Review
function to one of assignable buttons 1 to 4
(page 48).
When you stop recording and press the button
assigned with Rec Review, the clip is played at
normal speed starting from the first frame.
The clip is played to the end, then Rec Review
ends and the unit returns to STBY (recording
standby) mode.

High-Definition Focus Magnifier
Function
You can magnify the display for the viewfinder
screen or Monitor output.
By pressing the FOCUS MAG button of the
viewfinder (DVF-EL200, DVF-L700) attached
to the unit, or pressing an assignable button
assigned with the VF Focus Magnifier function,
you can expand the center part of the
viewfinder screen, making it is easier to adjust
the focus. By pressing an assignable button
assigned with the Monitor Focus Magnifier
function, you can expand the center part of
the Monitor output image, making it is easier
to adjust the focus.
The magnified display does not affect the
recorded image or other output signals, other
than the Monitor output.
Normal focus magnification reduces the
resolution because it simply magnifies a
part of the displayed image. However, the
two-times (×2) focusing by the unit provides
focus magnification while maintaining the
display resolution by cutting out the portion
to magnify from the 4K image instead of the
recorded image or other output signals, other
than the Monitor output.
Four-times (×4) focus magnification selection
is also supported using the 4K image cutout
function.
The following focus magnification functions
can be assigned to an assignable button
(page 48).
Viewfinder focus magnifier function: VF Focus
Magnifier
Monitor output focus magnifier function:
Monitor Focus Magnifier
The magnification sequence of the FOCUS
MAG button and assignable buttons assigned
with a focus magnification function is set
using the following items.
Viewfinder screen: Monitoring > VF Display >
VF Magnifier Ratio (page 78) in the full
menu
Monitor output: Monitoring > Output Display >
Monitor Magnifier Ratio (page 77) in the
full menu
When VF Magnifier Ratio is set to ×2.0/×4.0,
the magnification sequence each time you
press an assignable button assigned with VF
Focus Magnifier is ×2.0 ×4.0 ×1.0
×2.0.
Similarly, when Monitor Magnifier Ratio is set
to ×2.0/×4.0, the magnification changes each
time you press an assignable button assigned
with Monitor Focus Magnifier.
[Notes]
In High Frame Rate mode (shooting frame rate of
61 fps or higher), the ×2/×4 focus display image
resolution decreases because cutout display from a
4K image is not supported.
When Project Frame Rate is set to 59.94 or 50 and
the Monitor output setting is 1920×1080P, Monitor
Magnifier Ratio cannot be set to ×4.0 or ×2.0/×4.0.
When the Monitor output setting is 1920×1080i,
Monitor Focus Magnifier does not function.
Monitor Focus Magnifier is also applied to the HDMI
output if the HDMI output has the same output
format as the Monitor output. You can check the
setting using Monitoring > Overlays/Frame Line >
HDMI (page 79) in the full menu. The HDMI output
is the same as the Monitor output if HDMI is set to
“Same as Monitor”.
Operation of assignable buttons
assigned with focus magnifier functions
You can set whether an assignable button
assigned with a focus magnifier function
will toggle the function on/off each time the
button is pressed or turn the function on only

7. Connecting External Devices
When shooting with multiple units,
synchronized recording can be performed
using a specific reference signal to
synchronize the timecode among all the units.
Synchronizing the Phase of the
Video Signal (Genlock)
Genlock operation is enabled by supplying
one of the following reference signals to the
GENLOCK IN connector (page 12) of the
unit.
HDSDI 1.5G digital (Interlaced/PsF/
Progressive)
HD Y analog (Interlaced/Progressive)
SD VBS analog
Set the genlock input signal using TC/Media >
Genlock > Input Source (page 76) in the full
menu.
You can also check the genlock status using
TC/Media > Genlock > Reference Lock Type
(page 76) in the full menu, the Home
screen of the sub display (page 36), and the
genlock status indicator (page 14).

You can check the genlock status using TC/
Media > Genlock > Reference Lock Type
(page 76) in the menu.
[Notes]
If the reference signal is unstable, genlock is not
possible.
The subcarrier is not synchronized.
Synchronizing the Timecode with
Another Device
Set the unit that supplies the timecode to a
mode in which the timecode output keeps
advancing (Free Run mode).
1 Set TC/Media > Timecode > Mode
(page 76) in the menu to Preset F-Run
(Ext-Lk).
2 Supply an HD or SD reference video signal
to the GENLOCK IN connector (page 12)
and a reference timecode synchronized
with that signal to the TC IN (page 12)
connector.
The built-in timecode generator of your unit
locks to the reference timecode, and the
message “Ext-Lk” is displayed on the Home
screen of the sub display.
Once about ten seconds have elapsed after
the timecode locks, the external lock state
is maintained even if the external timecode
source is disconnected.
[Notes]
Check that the reference timecode and the reference
video signal are in a phase relationship that complies
with the SMPTE timecode standards.
When you finish the above procedure, the timecode
is immediately synchronized with the external
timecode, and the time data indication will show the
value of the external timecode. However, wait for a
few seconds until the timecode generator stabilizes
before recording.
If the frequency of the reference video signal and the
frame frequency are not the same, lock cannot be
acquired, and the unit will not operate properly. If this
occurs, the timecode will not acquire successful lock
with the external timecode.
When the connection is removed, the timecode
advance may shift one frame per hour with respect to
the reference timecode.
To release external lock
Change the TC/Media > Timecode > Mode
(page 76) setting in the menu.

LCD Panels
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is
manufactured with high precision technology,
giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least
99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels
may be “stuck”, either always off (black),
always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In
addition, over a long period of use, because
of the physical characteristics of the liquid
crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear
spontaneously.
These problems are not a malfunction.
Note that any such problems have no effect
on recorded data.
OLED Panels
The OLED panel fitted to this unit is
manufactured with high precision technology,
giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least
99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels
may be “stuck”, either always off (black),
always on, or flashing. In addition, over a
long period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the organic light-emitting
diode, such “stuck” pixels may appear
spontaneously. These problems are not a
malfunction. Note that any such problems
have no effect on recorded data.
Due to the characteristics of the material used
in the OLED panel, permanent burn-in or
reduction in brightness may occur.
These problems are not a malfunction.
On Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to
a warm location, or if ambient temperature
suddenly rises, moisture may form on the
outer surface of the unit and/or inside of
the unit. This is known as condensation. If
condensation occurs, turn off the unit and
wait until the condensation clears before
operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
Phenomena Specific to CMOS
Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in
images are specific to CMOS (Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors.
They do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CMOS image sensors are
produced with high-precision technologies,
fine white flecks may be generated on the
screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays,
etc. This is related to the principle of image
sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in
the following cases.
When operating at high environmental
temperatures
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot,
they may appear jagged or flicker.
Focal plane
Owing to the characteristics of the pickup
elements (CMOS sensors) for reading video
signals, subjects that quickly move across the
screen may appear slightly skewed.
Flashbanding
The luminance at the top and bottom of the
screen may change when shooting a flashlight
beam or a light source that quickly flashes.
Flicker
If recording is made under lighting produced
by discharge tubes, such as fluorescent,
sodium, or mercury-vapor lamps, the screen
may flicker, colors may vary, or horizontal
stripes may appear distorted.
The flicker can be reduced using the flicker
reduction function of the unit (page 65).
Notes on the Display
Pictures on the viewfinder screen and
outputs may be distorted by the following
operations.
Changing the video format
Changing the FPS frame rate
When genlock is applied
When you change the line of sight in the
viewfinder, you may see primary colors red,
green, and blue, but this is not a defect
of the unit. These primary colors are not
recorded on any recording media.
Fragmentation
If pictures cannot be recorded/reproduced
properly, try formatting the recording
medium. While repeating picture recording/
playback with a certain recording media for
an extended period, files in the media may
be fragmented, disabling proper recording/
storage. In such a case, make a backup of
clips in the media then perform formatting
of the media using TC/Media > Format Media
(page 76) in the menu.
