Sony VENICE 2 Digital Motion Picture Camera (6K)

The Sony Venice 2 6K is a powerhouse cinema camera designed to meet the demands of high-end filmmaking. Equipped with a 36x24mm full-frame CMOS sensor, it delivers exceptional image quality, breathtaking low-light performance, and creative flexibility. But the Venice 2 goes beyond just technical prowess. Its intuitive design and user-friendly interface allow filmmakers to focus on their vision, not wrestling with complex controls.

With its modular construction and interchangeable sensor options, the Venice 2 adapts to your needs, whether you’re capturing sweeping landscapes or intimate character close-ups. This adaptability, coupled with the camera’s raw power, makes the Venice 2 6K a true partner in creating cinematic masterpieces.

High Resolution: The 6K sensor captures stunning detail with a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032 pixels. This allows for capturing expansive landscapes, tight close-ups, and everything in between with incredible clarity.

Wide Dynamic Range:
With over 15+ stops of dynamic range, the Venice 2 6K excels in capturing scenes with extreme contrast. You can record highlights and shadows in detail, offering more flexibility in post-production color grading.

Dual Base ISO:
The camera boasts dual base ISOs of 500 and 2500. This translates to exceptional low-light performance with minimal noise, allowing you to shoot in dimly lit environments without compromising image quality.

S-Log3 and S-Gamut3:
Sony’s established color science ensures rich, natural colors with a wide color gamut. This provides a broad palette for color grading while maintaining accurate skin tones.

High Frame Rates:
The Venice 2 6K allows you to capture slow-motion footage with stunning clarity. Capture action sequences at up to 90fps in 6K or 120fps in 4K, perfect for creating a more dynamic and immersive viewing experience.

Internal Recording:
The camera offers a variety of recording options to suit your workflow. Internally record 16-bit RAW in Sony’s proprietary X-OCN format for maximum image quality and flexibility in post-production. Additionally, you can record directly to 4K Apple ProRes 4444 or 422HQ for a more streamlined workflow.

Interchangeable Image Sensors:
The Venice 2 takes modularity a step further by allowing you to swap between the 6K and an optional 8K sensor. This flexibility caters to filmmakers who might need the higher resolution of the 8K sensor for specific projects while retaining the low-light prowess of the 6K option.

Integrated ND Filters: Eight built-in neutral density (ND) filters eliminate the need for external filters, allowing for quick adjustments to light exposure without affecting image quality. This is a valuable feature for maintaining consistent shutter speeds or creating specific depth-of-field effects.

Enhanced Ergonomics:
The Venice 2 features a refined design with improved ergonomics for comfortable operation. The camera body is lightweight and compact, making it suitable for handheld shooting or use with gimbals.

Advanced Monitoring:
With a high-resolution OLED viewfinder and various SDI and HDMI outputs, the Venice 2 provides accurate color reproduction and sharp image monitoring for precise focus and framing.

Dual Codec Recording:
Simultaneously record in different formats with the Venice 2. Capture high-quality RAW footage for maximum detail in post-production, while also recording a compressed version like ProRes for immediate playback or editing needs.

Overall, the Sony Venice 2 6K is a powerful and versatile camera that caters to the demands of professional filmmakers. Its exceptional image quality, high frame rates, and flexible recording options make it a compelling choice for a wide range of productions.
