Description
The Sony VENICE is a full-frame 6K digital cinema camera built around a 36 x 24mm sensor, with an interchangeable PL or E-mount and Sony’s established CineAlta colour science.
Sensor and Formats
The 6K sensor captures up to 6048 x 4032 resolution and switches between imager modes to cover Super 35 (4-perf and 3-perf equivalent), full-height Super 35 anamorphic and spherical, and full-frame anamorphic and spherical — all from one body. High-speed sensor readout keeps rolling shutter to a minimum.
Dual Base ISO
A base ISO of 500 gives the widest dynamic range for typical on-set lighting, while a second high-base ISO of 2500 suits low-light HDR work. Combined with the internal 8-step ND system, VENICE behaves as a native ISO 1250 camera while holding 15 stops of latitude (+6/-9 stops around 18% grey).
ND Filter and Colour
An 8-step servo-controlled mechanical ND filter runs from Clear to ND2.4 (eight stops), removing the need for external filter changes — useful on drones, cranes and underwater housings. Colour reproduction exceeds Rec.2020 and DCI-P3, built on Sony’s S-Log3 gamma and S-Gamut3 colour space. The chassis is sealed against dust, sand and splash, with an isolated ventilation system.
