Description
The Sony BURANO is a full-frame 8.6K digital cinema camera built for solo operators and small crews who still need cinema-grade image quality. It shares its sensor with VENICE 2 in a lighter, more mobile body.
Sensor and Mounts
The 8.6K CMOS sensor works in both full-frame and Super 35 modes, giving a choice of lenses per project. E and PL mounts are both native — the PL mount supports Cooke /i and ZEISS eXtended Data metadata, and the E-mount reads metadata directly from Sony E-mount lenses.
Autofocus and Stabilisation
Fast Hybrid AF combines phase and contrast detection with Human Eye AF, built for operators working without a focus puller. BURANO is the first digital cine camera with in-body stabilisation on both mount types: 3-axis on PL lenses, full 5-axis on E-mount lenses.
Exposure and Latitude
A built-in variable ND filter adjusts from 0.6 to 2.1 ND — seven stops — without needing external filters. The sensor delivers 16 stops of dynamic range with dual-base ISO of 800/3200 for strong low-light HDR performance. Frame rate options span full-frame 8.6K at 30fps down to Super 35 4K at 120fps.
