HANDY KIT It requires some know-how, but the Sony BURANO is a supremely technical camera with remarkable handling
action as it gives your lenses so much more reach. It gets even more complicated when you want to output the different signals via SDI or HDMI, include baked- in LUTs or set a de-squeeze option. For example, record in 8.6K in X-OCN and the SDI outputs HD, but can’t output an HDMI signal at the same time. Shoot 6K in XAVC-I, meanwhile, and the SDI and HDMI can output 4K or HD at the same time with or without LUTs – but not output any anamorphic de-squeeze unless it’s HD through the HDMI. It’s a complete minefield of different permutations, and Sony has set up a website so users can
see what settings work. It makes sense to download this to a phone so you’ll always have it with you. When shooting, you’ll find a choice of the usual Sony Cine EI and Custom modes, and you can adjust plenty of parameters including noise suppression levels in three steps. Base ISO settings are 800 and 3200 in S-Log3, and you can use internal LUTs or load your own. These can be baked in or not, as you wish.
