Sony offers free replacement of Burano infrared cut filter

Sony has announced a newly developed IR cut filter to improve colour reproduction when using the Burano digital cinema camera under strong lighting conditions, including sunlight.

The filter replacement will be provided at no charge for parts and labour.

This replacement service is open through to 30 June 2026, and will be carried out on a first come, first served basis, says Sony.

Burano owners can schedule the filter replacement by contacting their regional Sony service centre.

Any Burano owner who wishes to replace the infrared cut filter to improve colour reproduction under strong lighting conditions are eligible for this filter replacement.

Burano units with a protrusion on the upper part of the front optical filter component (as shown in the right-hand-side image above) already have the new IR cut filter and no further filter replacement is required.
