About Sony BURANO
Sony BURANO 8K Digital Motion Picture Camera
The world's first digital cinema camera with an interchangeable E-mount and PL-mount lens, making it compatible with all Super35 and Full-Frame PL lenses. Its compact and lightweight design makes it an exceptional tool of filmmakers who need to remain nimble during long days on set. The camera's 8.6K full-frame sensor mirrors the remarkable capabilities of the Sony VENICE, along with a generous 16-stop dynamic range and a dual base ISO range of 800/3200 to ensure minimal noise even in dimly lit environments. Offering exceptional flexibility, the BURANO succeeds at shooting up to 30fps in FF 8.6K, 60fps in FF crop 6K, S35 5.8K, and an impressive 120fps in S35 crop 4K. Its in-body image stabilization and phase detection autofocus system with 627 points will also keep your subject in pin-sharp focus for consistently smooth and pristine footage.
Full-Frame 8.6K Sensor
BURANO has a large 36x24mm full-frame image sensor that delivers high-quality images and superb rendition with wide latitude and a rich colour gamut. It achieves the beautiful bokeh and dynamic wide-angle shooting that only a full-frame sensor can provide. 8K image quality with a maximum resolution of 8632 x 4856 and, through oversampling, it can output phenomenal looking 4K content.
Wide Colour Gamut
BURANO features Sony’s signature S-Gamut/S-Gamut.Cine wide colour space that, as with the VENICE 2, covers a gamut exceeding BT.2020 and DCI-P3. S-Log3 and X-OCN also dramatically enhances creative flexibility in post-production. As BURANO offers the same colour accuracy as VENICE 2 it’s easy to use both cameras together for a seamless and efficient post-production workflow.
Internal 16-bit X-OCN LT and XAVC H recording
Despite its compact dimensions, BURANO offers internal recording of X-OCN LT* as well as our new XAVC H and proven industry standard XAVC-I format. X-OCN is Sony’s compressed RAW format that records everything that the 8.6K sensor can capture in a broad latitude 16-bit scene linear file full of rich tonal gradation. X-OCN LT’s high efficiency reduces storage requirements and accelerates file transfer times for 8K content for a post-production workflow that’s comparable to a 4K project.
BURANO also features 10-bit S-Log3 with XAVC H-I HQ recording at 1200 Mbps and XAVC H-I SQ recording at 800 Mbps for 8K30p image quality. This enables even great data savings and faster post-production workflow.
* Not compatible with X-OCN XT and X-OCN ST recording formats
New in-camera Looks for Ready-to-Use Footage
BURANO has four new looks – Warm, Cool, Vintage and Teal and Orange – to choose between alongside the established s709 and 709 (800) looks in Cine EI mode. Creatively tuned to suit typical shooting scenarios, they give the operator a choice of distinctive, engaging looks at the touch of a button. Moreover, LUT data from a shoot can be embedded in those clips’ metadata for an efficient colour workflow.
s709: Kodak 2383-like natural tones and colours
s709(800): Standard 709 tone curve for accurate colour reproduction
Teal and Orange
A modern, colourful, contrasty reformulation of the classic film look. With a strong separation between cool backgrounds and warm skin tones, it’s an ideal look for productions with a focus on human subjects.
Warm
A soft, gentle look with amber highlights, and flattering for skin.
Cool
Evokes the chill of a shadow, and the blue of twilight – ideal for midnight blue or the coolness of a city at dawn.
Vintage
Transports the camera’s high resolution cinema quality into a previous era. The look applies a film-like bleach bypass and faded, pale sepia effect.
Lens Mount Flexibility
PL Lens Mount
BURANO comes with the industry-standard PL lens mount and is compatible with Super 35mm 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 stabilisation and AF capabilities – ideal for mobile and single-operator projects.
Anamorphic Lens De-Squeeze function
BURANO comes with an anamorphic de-squeeze function as standard. The monitoring menu gives a choice from 1.3x/2.0x, based on the anamorphic lens’ magnification. The result can be seen on the LCD monitor display, and on external monitors at FHD resolution. The camera monitor output supports SDI or HDMI for X-OCN shooting, and HDMI for non-X-OCN content.
In-Body Stabilisation with PL mount lenses
BURANO is the world’s first cinema camera that supports in-body optical image stabilisation (IBIS) for almost any attached lens, including for the first time PL. The new, compact image stabilisation system was originally developed for the Alpha series of mirrorless cameras. Featuring a gyroscopic sensor and control algorithm, it compensates for camera shake even for handheld shooting while walking. The stabilisation is so effective that it removes the need for any extra equipment for many applications.
Stabilisation is even greater with E-mount lenses, allowing more difficult shots to be captured without blurring. Camera shake data can be passed to post production for precise alignment with CGI and in volume stages.
Electronic Variable ND Filter
Sony’s unique electronic Variable ND Filter has been redesigned to be both smaller and compatible with the built-in image stabilisation mechanism. It can smoothly and continuously change its density from 0.6 (1/4) to 2.1 (1/128). With physical ND filters no longer needed, operators can adjust the electronic filter density by simply rotating the ND dial. Operators can maintain a constant depth of field by adjusting the electronic ND filter and the iris control together. Continuous or stepped changes can be selected with the ND STEP/VARIABLE switch, depending on the application. The [Auto ND] function automatically adjusts the filter density to give a correct exposure, effectively allowing the use of the ND filter as an alternative Auto IRIS.
Catch the action with Fast Hybrid AF
Effortlessly track fast moving subjects with pin-sharp focus, even when using wide lens aperture settings to maintain a shallow depth of field with BURANO’s full-frame sensor. Originally developed by Sony’s Alpha camera engineers, enhanced Fast Hybrid AF combines phase detection AF for fast, accurate subject tracking with contrast AF for exceptional focus accuracy. In addition, Face Detection intelligently recognises and locks on to human faces.
The dedicated 627-point phase detection AF sensor covers approximately 88.7% of the whole image area, allowing consistently accurate, responsive AF tracking, even with shallow depth-of-field.
AI Subject Recognition AF with touch
Our onboard AI processing unit recognises not only eye position but also accurately senses human torso and head positions. Subject Recognition AF automatically draws a frame around people’s faces when they are detected. Human pose estimation technology recognises body and head position, so you can even track a subject facing away from the camera or wearing a mask.
Touch a person to focus on, and the camera will track that person precisely. Even in challenging situations like a bowed head or when hair covering a face, the camera accurately captures the eyes, so that operators can focus accurately even in the most difficult circumstances.
Dual CFexpress Type B Slots
Sony’s new CFexpress card VPG400 allows for reliable capture at exceptional high data rates, including X-OCN LT recording in full 8K.
BURANO’s dual media slots allow relay and simultaneous recording*, while versatile CFexpress Type B media are convenient for backing up and transferring data in the field. An additional SD card slot is for storing Proxy and camera setting information.
