Online PXW-Z200 4K 1 in. CMOS Sensor XDCAM Camcorder Professional Camcorders

FEATURES:

1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor – For imaging performance otherwise unobtainable for a compact camcorder, the Z200 relies upon a large approx. 14.0 megapixel (effective) 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS image sensor. Its unique stacked structure – with back illuminated pixels layered over integrated signal processing circuits – enables both faster read-out speeds and superior low-light performance due to more light reaching the sensor.

BIONZ XR image processing – Integrated within the image sensor, our latest generation BIONZ XR image processor enables higher frame-rates, faster autofocus, improved Auto Trace White Balance (ATW) control and superior noise reduction. It extracts maximum performance from the high-resolution image sensor, effortlessly capturing the most subtle textures and finest detail. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses ample image information into stunning 4K (3840 x 2160) 60p video.

Enhanced White Balance Accuracy – The Z200’s Auto Trace White Balance (ATW) control has evolved alongside the BIONZ XR and AI capabilities. The camera’s AI Processing Unit enables more precise ATW control, even in challenging lighting conditions, such as when the targeted person is in shadow.

Advanced AI Processing Unit for next generation AF – A specialized AI Processing Unit, working in concert with BIONZ XR, uses deep learning based on the human form and posture data to recognize human subjects with high precision. The Fast Hybrid AF system offers wide 81% coverage to better support Subject Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking. The Z200 can effortlessly track and maintain focus on subjects just about anywhere in the frame.

Auto Framing – With Auto Framing engaged the camera will automatically track a recognized human subject and adjust framing so that the subject is always prominently positioned in the frame. The resulting footage can look as though a human operator was manually adjusting framing throughout a shoot – even though the camera was actually stationary the entire time. Solo operators can concentrate on engaging with an interviewee without constantly checking on camera positioning.

4K 120fps for stunning slow motion footage – The high readout speed of the Exmor RS sensor enables 4K high frame rate (HFR) recording at up to 120fps and FHD at 240fps. Achieve 4x slow motion in 4K at 30p or 5x slow motion at 24p. Whatever your creative choice, high speed AF helps ensure your subject is kept in focus. Slow & Quick Motion is supported for up to 4K 120fps and FHD 240fps recording.

20x optical zoom – One superb 20x power zoom G Lens covers everything from wide angle in-car interviews to telephoto close-ups for sports. Delivering an optical zoom range of 24-480 mm (35 mm full-frame equivalent), it’s backed up by Sony’s Clear Image Zoom technology, which adds the ability to achieve 30x zoom when recording 4K or 40x zoom in FHD. And you can explore maximum apertures of F2.8 (wide) and F4.5 (telephoto) while zooming quickly, smoothly and silently.

Advanced image stabilization – Minimize the effects of camera shake with built-in image stabilization. Make sure of smooth, stable footage in Active Mode image stabilization, where optical and electronic stabilization work together to make handheld shots glide effortlessly.

Built-in Electronic Variable ND Filter – Seamlessly adjust the Electronic Variable ND Filter to suit a variety of light levels. Move from 1/4 to 1/128 ND with a simple dial adjustment or rely on the Auto ND function to maintain the optimum exposure for you-especially useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments.

Accurate LCD monitor and OLED viewfinder – Easily monitor and focus subjects with a new 3.5-type LCD monitor that offers approximately 27.6 million dots with outstanding brightness and clarity. The monitor swings up and down as well as backward, so finding a comfortable viewing angle is easy. The supplied LCD hood is easily installed by sliding it into the grooves in the top and bottom of the LCD monitor, while the monitor can be folded away for storage even with the hood installed.

For clear, undistracted viewing, the high-contrast 0.39-type OLED viewfinder shuts out extraneous light while offering approximately 23.6 million dots.

Compact design and storage – Easily fold the EVF and LCD panel away for storage of this lightweight camera. The Z200 (main body only) weighs approximately 1.96 kg (4 lb 5.1 oz) and measures 175.6 mm (7 inches) x 201.3 mm (8 inches) x 371.1 mm (14 5/8 inches) (WxHxD), but for storage these dimensions fall to 175.6 mm (7 inches) x 175.4 mm (7 inches) x 285.1 mm (11 1/5 inches) (WxHxD)*. The microphone holder can be detached from the camera for even greater portability.​
