If you are a proud owner of a Sony VENICE or you’re considering renting out the camera for your next shoot, this upcoming firmware update will give you even more HFR capabilities along with a plethora of different improvements and fixes.
The CineAlta camera model will be able to shoot 5.7K 16:9 and 4K 6:5 video up to 72fps as well as 3.8K 16:9 up to 110fps.
