Sony Venice2 digital cinema camera with 8.6K

Full-Frame full-width 36‑mm 8K and​6K

In full-frame, you can use the full width of the sensors (6048 or 8640 pixels) for widescreen spherical 2.39:1 or Large Format Scope. Full-Frame can be used creatively in a number of ways—for example, to allow for extra shallow depth of field or super-wide shooting.

Super35 full height 2.0x squeeze Anamorphic

For anamorphic shooting and production, Super35 full height 2x squeeze anamorphic is supported.

Super35 17:9 and 16:9

These popular imager sizes have native support in VENICE 2, and the 8K sensor makes it possible to capture 5.8K footage in these modes. Current Super35 mm PL mount lenses can be used as well.​
