Sony Venice2 8K

Equipment description

Full-frame digital film camera with X-OCN internal recording function in 8K sensor versions.

VENICE 2 is a cinema camera created by cinematographers for cinematographers. It is available in two versions that differ in image sensor. Both deliver outstanding image quality. New internal recording features allow users to capture even more color and detail with the compact body they already know.

The VENICE 2 camera has two base ISO sensitivities: 800 and 3200 for the 8K sensor model. The high ISO sensitivity of 3200 is ideal for capturing HDR images in low light. Exposure tolerance then ranges from 6 degrees above to 10 degrees below 18% gray - a total of 16 degrees.
