In 2017, Sony introduced a next-generation motion picture camera system, focused on large format production: the VENICE.
Working with extensive and detailed input from the film industry, we designed VENICE to give cinematographers more creative freedom. A 6K image sensor offered incredible detail and colors.
Dual-base ISO drove remarkable low-light performance. An 8-step internal ND filter mechanism saved precious time on set.
Now, VENICE 2 builds on this success, with new capabilities in a familiar, compact body.
Remarkable Images
VENICE 2 offer a choice between 8K (MPC-3628) and 6K (MPC-3626) sensors, both of wich boast incredibly wide latitude and gamut. Use greater freedom of expression in grading than ever before, with either 16 or 15+ stops of latitude and exquisite color rendition.
Sensor interchangeable between other models
36x24mm Full-Frame Sensor for Cinema
VENICE 2 features one of two 36x24mm full-frame image sensors, designed specifically for the demands and performance of high-end cinematography. Each offers remarkable sensitivity, latitude and color rendition, and because the sensor blocks are interchangeable, users can easily switch between sensors—without any extra firmware—and can even use the sensor from their original VENICE. The new 8K sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 8640 x 5760, while the established 6K sensor offers up to 6048 x 4032. Both offer powerful oversampling for incredible 4K images
Super35 full height 2.0x squeeze Anamorphic
For anamorphic shooting and production, Super35 full height 2x squeeze anamorphic is supported.
Dual Base ISO
VENICE 2 features dual base ISO, meaning that the 8K sensor offers Base ISO3200 in addition to Base ISO800, while the 6K sensor has Base ISO500 and Base ISO2500.
8K sensor excels in low-light, High Dynamic Range capture, with an exposure latitude from 6 stops over to 10 stops under 18% Middle Gray, for a total of 16 stops.
6K sensor offers an exposure latitude from 6 stops over to 9 stops under 18% Middle Gray, for a total of 15+ stops.
High Frame Rate
VENICE 2 can shoot at speed of up to 120fps at 4K and 90fps at 6K, when using the 6K sensor. In combination with an anamorphic license, it also allows shooting at speed of up to 75fps at 4K 4:3 and 72fps at 4K 6:5.
With the 8K sensor, VENICE 2 can achieve up to 60fps at 8.2K and 90fps at 5.8K.
