The Sony VENICE 1 (CineAlta) is a revolutionary full-frame digital cinema camera that marked a significant shift in Sony’s color science, delivering a “painterly” look with natural skin tones and elegant highlight roll-off. It features a 36x24mm 6K sensor that offers incredible versatility, supporting full-frame, Super 35, and anamorphic formats via a modular, user-interchangeable sensor block. With its unique dual-base ISO (500/2500) and an industry-first internal 8-stage mechanical ND filter system, the VENICE 1 provides cinematographers with unparalleled creative control in any lighting environment. Designed for high-end feature film and episodic production, it integrates seamlessly into professional workflows, especially when paired with the AXS-R7 recorder for 16-bit X-OCN or RAW capture.
