SONY BURANO
Full Frame Camera System

The Sony BURANO is a compact, lightweight, and versatile full-frame 8K cinema camera. Featuring 16 stops of dynamic range, internal image stabilization, and variable electronic ND, this camera is effortlessly adaptable for any production.

BURANO takes VENICE’s superior image quality and re-works it for solo and small team productions. It’s 33% lighter than VENICE 2, has better power efficiency, and internal XOCN-LT recording. All of this means you can expect uncompromising images no matter the scenario.

For the first time in a full-frame CineAlta camera, fast hybrid and subject recognition AF makes it easier to get the shots you want under the most demanding conditions.

A lightweight, compact chassis and ergonomic balance make it easy to switch between shoulder-mount, handheld, gimbal or drone operation. BURANO can be configured for large and small projects, solo or with an entire crew. It’s all your choice.

+ What lens mount options are available?

The Burano includes an LDS PL mount. The PL mount can be removed to reveal a Sony E-mount underneath. You can then adapt the E-mount to Canon EF, Nikon F, Leica M, and more. A hard mounted Wooden Camera LPL mount is also available.

+ What is a stabilized sensor?

BURANO is the world’s first cinema camera that supports in-body optical image stabilization (IBIS) for almost any attached lens, including for the first time PL.

The new, compact image stabilization system was originally developed for the Alpha series of mirrorless cameras. Featuring a gyroscopic sensor and control algorithm, it compensates for camera shake even for handheld shooting while walking.

Stabilization is even greater with E-mount lenses, allowing more difficult shots to be captured while minimizing handheld shakes. Camera gyro data can be passed to post production for precise alignment with CGI and in volume stages.

+ What is an Electronic Variable ND?

Sony’s unique electronic Variable ND Filter has been redesigned to be both smaller and compatible with the built-in image stabilization mechanism.

It can smoothly and continuously change its density from 0.6 to 2.1. With needing to swap physical ND filters, operators can adjust the electronic filter density by simply rotating the ND dial.

Continuous or stepped changes can be selected with the ND STEP/VARIABLE switch, depending on the application. The [Auto ND] function automatically adjusts the filter density to give correct exposure, effectively allowing the use of the ND filter as an alternative Auto IRIS.

+ What is the native ISO?

By utilizing dual circuitry in the sensor the Burano can accomodate an improved dual base ISO of 800 and 3200. This is the same as the Venice 2.

+ Can you shoot anamorphic?

Yes, BURANO comes with an anamorphic de-squeeze function. The monitoring menu gives a choice from 1.3x/2.0x, based on the anamorphic lens’ magnification. The result can be seen on the LCD monitor display, and on external monitors at FHD resolution. The camera monitor output supports SDI or HDMI for X-OCN shooting, and HDMI for non-X-OCN content.
