Sony has announced that its high-end flagship full-frame cinema camera Venice 2 will be available in India starting July 18. The Venice 2 will come with either a new full-frame 8.6k sensor or the original 6k Venice sensor.
The Venice 2 offers 16 stops of total latitude that should allow users to capture better video even when slightly under or over-exposed with good colour separation and shadow detail. The camera was designed with a smaller and more lightweight body than its predecessor without losing out on operational features. Filmmakers can record in the X-OCN and Apple 4k ProRes 4444 and 422 HQ codecs without the need for an external recorder.
The new 8k full-frame CMOS image sensor should translate to better image quality and improved low light. The Venice 2 8k CineAlta comes with a dual native ISO sensor which will allow filmmakers to capture clean images under a wide range of conditions and exposure settings. It will support a wide variety of lenses including PL mount lenses and Sony’s native E-mount lenses and others that can be adapted to it.
Some of the other updates to the Venice 2 over its predecessor include- 4K output with LUT applied, Improved 3D LUT processing to improve picture quality, EI changes directly applied to S-Log3 outputs, LUT/ASC-CDL control via Ethernet/Wi-Fi, Zoom to Fit (Full-Frame recording with 17:9/16:9 monitoring) operation, Ethernet connector position changed to Camera Assistant side, Lemo 2pin 12V output connector, Internal microphone installed.
