The Venice 6K LF is a cinema camera created by and for the cinematographer. It’s equipped with a newly developed full-frame image sensor meeting the needs of the film industry in pushing the boundaries of large format image capture with exceptional picture quality. The Venice 6K LF 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.
The Venice 6K LF has a base ISO of 500 to provide the optimal dynamic range for typical cinematography applications with on-set lighting. A secondary High Base ISO of 2500 excels in low-light High Dynamic Range capture, with an exposure latitude from 6 stops over to 9 stops under 18% Middle Gray, for a total of 15 stops. High Base ISO 2500 is ideal whenever you’re using slow lenses or shooting dimly-lit environments. Combining ISO2500 with VENICE’s internal eight-step Optical ND filter system offers the ability to emulate different ISOs while maintaining maximum latitude of +6 and -9 stops, enabling you to use VENICE as an ISO1250 camera.
Designed exclusively for high-end cinematography, this sensor can capture images up to a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032
Full width 36 mm 6K
In full-frame, you can use the full 6048 pixel width of the sensor for 6K imager modes such as 3:2, 2.39:1, 1.85:1, 17:9, and 16.9. Equivalent to 4-perforation motion picture film, these 6K modes allow for extra-shallow depth of field, super-wide shooting, and other creative effects.
Super35 anamorphic 4K
For super-wide screen productions, the Venice 6K LF 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.
