Introduction to the ALEXA 35

For over a decade the combination of the ALEV 3 sensor and ARRI Color Science have set the gold
standard for digital image quality in the professional motion picture industry with ALEXA and AMIRA
cameras.
Now, with the introduction of the ALEXA 35 camera, ARRI raises the bar even higher with the new
Super 35 format 4.6K 3:2 ALEV 4 sensor and new REVEAL Color Science. ALEXA 35 provides
significantly more exposure latitude, improved color reproduction, better look handling and increased
creative control for the cinematographer, while fulfilling the 4K mandate for all Super 35 and LF lenses,
spherical and anamorphic. With its familiar controls and a new line of custom crafted accessories,
ALEXA 35 is the most versatile Super 35 motion picture camera available.
