Aaton Penelope is a 35mm motion picture camera introduced by Aaton in October 2008. It is the first camera in the world designed as a switchable Techniscope or 3-perf shooting solution (2 perf-native and 3 perf user-switchable), and it is also the first 35mm camera to offer a progressive scan video-tap.[1] It accepts a digital magazine and therefore provides 4K digital output for true HD filming.[2]
The Aaton Penelope was used by Scott Duncan to shoot the TV show Celebrity Apprentice,[3] and cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema has completed principal photography on The Fighter using Aaton Penelope cameras configured for 2-perf.[4]
