The camera monitor output supports SDI or HDMI for X-OCN shooting, and HDMI for non-X-OCN content.In-Body Stabilization with PL mount lenses BURANO is the world’s first cinema camera that supports in-body optical image stabilization (IBIS) for almost any attached lens, including for the first time PL. The new, compact image stabilization 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 stabilization is so effective that it removes the need for any extra equipment for many applications.Stabilization 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 stabilization 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 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 recognizes 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 recognizes 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 recognizes 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 is covering a face, the camera accurately captures the eyes, so that operators can focus accurately even in the most difficult circumstances.* Over 70 E-mount lenses can use BURANO’s advanced Hybrid AF and AI Subject Recognition AF featuresDual 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.
