Introduction to the new Sony Venice Camera
Stefan Nell from Visual Impact introduces to the Sony #Venice Camera.
Sony focused on naturalistic and “film-like” color reproduction with their new sensor.
The full frame 36×24 mm sensor boasts 6K resolution. They call the camera “aspect ratio agnostic”, because the camera can use Super35mm (17:9 and 16:9), Full Frame 35mm and Super35 full height 2.0x squeeze anamorphic lenses.
Switching from PL Mount to Sony E-mount is can be done by simply removing six hex screws while E-mount lens iris operation is controllable via assignable button.
Only the Full Frame 35mm will use the full 6K, the Super35 resolutions use 4K.
Full-frame recording will not be immediately possible from the time of availability (February 2018), but rather be offered as a paid upgrade approximately in summer 2018.
Sony claims 15+ stops of latitude and therefore suitability for HDR production. According to Sony, it exceeds the BT.2020 color space.
Designed exclusively for high-end cinematography, this sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032
