Leveraging In-Body Stabilisation (IBIS)
Exploit the Burano’s groundbreaking 5-axis IBIS with both PL and E-mount lenses. This significantly reduces the need for external stabilisation, providing exceptionally smooth handheld footage and expanding creative possibilities for dynamic camera movements.
Optimising Low Light & Dynamic Range
Utilise the dual base ISOs (800 and 3200 in Cine EI) and 16 stops of dynamic range of its 8.6K full-frame sensor. This ensures superb image quality even in extremely dim conditions, with rich detail in both shadows and highlights, offering immense flexibility for colour grading.
Seamless Exposure with Variable ND
Make full use of the unique electronic variable ND filter (0.6 to 2.1) for smooth, continuous exposure control. This eliminates the need to change physical ND filters, allowing you to maintain a consistent depth of field during dynamic lighting changes. Consider using the “Auto ND” function for simplified exposure management.
Versatile Recording for Post
Choose your recording format based on pipeline needs: Sony’s 16-bit X-OCN LT RAW for maximum 8.6K sensor latitude and post-production control, or the efficient XAVC H (HEVC/H.265) for manageable 8K file sizes. Utilise the wide array of resolutions and frame rates from 8.6K 30fps to 4K 120fps.
Agile Professional Rigging
Benefit from the Burano’s compact and lightweight magnesium alloy chassis. Its modular design, detachable LCD monitor, robust professional I/O (12G-SDI, HDMI, dual XLR), and V-mount compatibility make it highly agile for single-operator use, gimbal mounting, or tight spaces.
