Sony will be returning for the sixth time as the main official industrial sponsor to EnergaCamerimage 2024 November 16-23 in Turin Poland. There it will showcase its latest technological developments for the cinematography industry and connect with cinematographers and other professionals.
Sony will show the latest updates to the Venice 2 Version 4.0. This two-year-old camera has established itself as one of the first choices for DPs around the world.
The Version 4.0 firmware update, available in August 2025, will add support of the EL Zone System, created by Ed Lachman, ASC who is receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award this year at EnergaCamerimage.
Displaying exposure values by using stops instead of IRE values like standard false color tool will simplify exposure reading by operators. The EL Zone System comes in addition to the existing tools in Venice 2.
It will also display frame lines in different colors, based on users’ feedback, simplifying the shooting of images for different purposes or formats.
Sony is pleased to continue to upgrade and evolve the camera over the coming years, improving its shelf life for its users and owners. Version 5.0 will be made available in 2026 and Version 6.0 in 2027.
