Sony VENICE 2

VENICE 2 is a cinema camera created by and for the cinematographer. The camera’s 8K full-frame image sensor offers exceptional picture quality that can camture images up to a maximum resolution of 8640 x 5760. Thanks to new internal recording capabilities, users can capture even more colors and detail within the compact body they already know.

VENICE 2’s 8K sensor has an exceptional 16 stops of latitude and can deliver phenomenal images with very little noise, in conditions that range from searing sunlight to almost no light. VENICE 2 also excels at High Dynamic Range imaging, allowing for unprecedented creative freedom in grading.

Operators need to know their camera is reliable and usable, especially during demanding shoots. VENICE 2 features simple menu navigation and connectors arranged to make life easier on set. With a durable, compact build, the camera is fast to set up for handheld or mounted shooting, so you can focus on filming, not the camera.

VENICE 2 can exceed the BT.2020 color space, with a color range wider than DCI-P3. This means it can beautifully reproduce the true color of the scene in front of your lens. The camera also provides a broad palette in the grading suite, using the established workflow of Sony’s S-Log3 and Ultra-wide Color space, S-Gamut3. Plus, VENICE 2’s 6K and 8K sensors match colors almost perfectly, making your grading experience even better.

VENICE 2 can shoot at speeds of up to 120fps at 4K and up to 72fps at 8.2K and 120fps at 5.5K.

Jello effect is something we don’t need when filming. VENICE 2 has high-speed readout sensors, which minimizes the Jello effect that is typical with CMOS sensors.

VENICE 2’s support for anamorphic lenses allows for the capture of breathtakingly beautiful images. When combined with the ability to shoot 4:3 and 6:5 aspect ratio at high horizontal resolutions, this can give users stunning lens flare, bokeh, and emotional impact. The 8K sensor can shoot 5.8K with an aspect ratio of 6:5.

VENICE 2 follows the world-first of VENICE, with a servo-controlled 8-step Mechanical ND filter mechanism built into the camera chassis. It offers a massive ND of 0.3 (1/2 = 1 stop) to 2.4 (1/256 = 8 stops) range that reduces time lost on set changing external filters. The ND filters also greatly increase VENICE’s flexibility when being controlled remotely on drones and cranes, or in an underwater housing.​
