Sony BURANO 8K Digital Motion Picture Camera
Description
Versatile, lightweight, and compact full-frame 8K cinema camera with 16 stops of latitude, image stabilization for PL and E-mount lenses. Easily configurable for solo and team production.
BURANO is a new concept in cinema cameras. It takes VENICE’s superior image quality and usability but re-imagines it for solo and small team productions. 33% lighter than VENICE 2, more power efficient and supporting CFexpress media – it’s not just our smallest full-frame CineAlta camera, in many ways it’s our most technically advanced. Expect uncompromising image quality wherever you are, whatever the size of your crew.
Smarter Shooting:
BURANO makes shooting the highest quality 8K simpler than you can imagine. The world’s first PL mount compatible camera with a built-in stabilization system*. A ground-breaking combination of our unique electronic variable ND filter system with in-body image stabilization (IBIS) in a full-frame PL and E-mount cinema camera. For the first time in a full-frame CineAlta camera, Fast Hybrid and Subject Recognition AF with AI makes it easier to get the shots you want under the most demanding scenarios. With BURANO, you don’t need a studio or big crew to excel.
* As of September 2023, based on Sony research for cinema cameras with standard equipped PL mount
Shoot The Way You Want:
BURANO adapts to be the camera you want to be whatever the shoot. A multi-purpose touchscreen LCD monitor, with a flexible mounting system and versatile, robust handle, allow you to easily configure BURANO for different shooting styles. 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.
Lens Mount Flexibility:
PL Lens Mount
BURANO comes with the industry-standard PL lens mount and is compatible with Super 3.5 cm and full-frame PL lenses (spherical and anamorphic). The lens mount includes contacts that support Cooke /i Technology, and lens information is recorded as metadata, frame by frame.
Lever Lock Type E-mount
E-mount lenses can be fitted when the PL mount adapter is removed. E-mount (lever lock type) gives users the ability to change lenses by rotating the locking collar rather than the lens itself, which means that in most cases lens support rigs don’t need to be removed, saving time during a production. Sony’s ever-increasing range of E-mount lenses, from ultra-wide to ultra-telephoto, are supported by the BURANO’s advanced image stabilization and AF capabilities – ideal for mobile and single-operator projects.
Virtual Production made simple:
Up to 8K recording, 16-bit colors and a very fast sensor readout speed allow cinematographers to focus on the art of shooting virtual sets rather than technical compromises. The flawless sync with advanced Crystal LED controllers is unique in the industry.
