SONY VENICE
Full Frame Camera System

The VENICE camera features an all-new full-frame sensor with the classic 36 x 24-mm dimensions that have been a staple of photography for over 100 years. Designed exclusively for high-end cinematography, this sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032. Switchable imager modes mean VENICE can support an unprecedented number of cinematic aspect ratios for complete creative freedom.

In full-frame, you can use the full 6048 pixel width of the sensor for 6K capture. Equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film, this mode allows for extra-shallow depth of field, super-wide angle shooting, and other creative effects.

For super-wide screen productions, VENICE offers two full-height 2x squeeze anamorphic imager modes that include 6:5 and 4:3 recording modes for 12:5 (known as 2.39:1) and 8:3 (2.66:1) scenes, respectively.

Note: The R7 Recorder is required for recording 6k images and the full sensor area (3:2 aspect ratio). The max resolution that can be recorded to SxS media is 4k 17:9 down-sampled from 6k 17:9.

+ What the heck does full frame mean?

Full Frame is referring to a century-old film/sensor size that is roughly 36x24mm. It is said to have a more natural field of view and bokeh(out of focus background characteristics) compared to the tighter Super 35mm size.

+ What is Dual ISO?

By utilizing dual circuitry in the sensor the Venice can accomodate two base ASA's; 500 and 2500.

+ How do I figure out field of view?

To figure out a full frame equivelent field of view in 6k full frame mode, take a Super 35mm lens and divide by 1.5.
