Achieving Cinematic Aesthetic
Utilise the large 36x24mm full-frame CMOS sensor for its characteristic wide field of view and shallow depth of field, ideal for cinematic productions. Explore its diverse shooting modes, including full-frame 6K, various anamorphic modes, and Super35 4K, to match your creative vision and lens choices.
Optimising Dynamic Range & Low Light
Leverage the 15+ stops of dynamic range for exceptional detail retention from deep shadows to bright highlights. Master the dual base ISO system (500 and 2500) to achieve optimal image quality in both bright and low-light conditions without introducing noise, essential for HDR productions.
Revolutionary Integrated NDs
Take full advantage of the built-in 8-step mechanical ND filter system (0.3 to 2.4 ND). This allows for precise, seamless exposure control without swapping external filters, saving valuable time and maintaining lens stability, particularly useful when shooting outdoors or in changing light.
Capturing Acclaimed Colour
Rely on Sony’s highly praised colour science for natural, pleasing skin tones, accurate colour reproduction, and extensive latitude for colour grading. This contributes significantly to the camera’s cinematic appeal for high-end features and commercials.
Robust Recording & Modular Versatility
For highest quality, record 16-bit RAW or X-OCN (Extended Tonal Range Original Camera Negative) with the optional AXS-R7 recorder for manageable 16-bit data. For efficient workflows, use internal XAVC and ProRes codecs. Explore the modular design, including the Rialto Extension System, for extreme portability or confined spaces, and note its robust PL mount (with E-mount adaptability).
