Sony Venice 2 Cinema Camera: Features
The camera, as already mentioned, has a new 8.6k (8640 x 5760) full-frame CMOS image sensor. The new sensor also supports 16 stops of total latitude which claims to offer good color separation and shadow detail.
The camera also inherits its color science from the original Venice camera, designed to deliver natural skin tones. The Venice 2 8K CineAlta camera has a unique dual base ISO of 800/3200 that allows filmmakers to capture crisp, film-worthy images in a wide range of lighting conditions.
Venice 2 is based on the idea of the original Venice camera and also borrows some of its key features such as Dual Base ISO, built-in 8-stop ND filters, compatibility with a wide range of lenses including all PL mounts and Sony’s native E-mount which allows adapters for a multitude of lenses.
In terms of design, the new camera features a relatively compact and lightweight design. It is also capable of handling internal X-OCN and Apple 4K ProRes 4444 and 422 HQ recording without the AXS-R7 recorder.
The new 8.6k sensor also allows users to shoot in different modes. See the table below:
