Sony PXW-Z200 Solid State Handheld 4K Camcorder with 1.0-Type Exmor RS CMOS Image Sensor (Black)

The Sony PXW-Z200 Solid State Handheld 4K Camcorder in Black is equipped with a large, approximately 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 faster read-out speeds and superior low-light performance due to the design allowing more light to reach the sensor. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses ample image information into stunning 4K (3840 x 2160) 60p video.
Wide Zoom Range
One superb 20x power zoom G Lens covers applications from wide-angle in-car interviews to telephoto close-ups for sports. It delivers an optical zoom range of 24 to 480 mm (35mm full-frame equivalent). With Sony’s Clear Image Zoom technology, the new camera can achieve 30x zoom when recording 4K or 40x zoom in FHD. Maximum apertures of F2.8 (wide) and F4.5 (telephoto) provide better low-light performance and additional creative applications.
Advanced AI Processing Unit for Next Generation AF
A specialized AI Processing Unit, working in concert with BIONZ XR, uses deep learning based on human form and posture data to recognize human subjects with high precision. The Fast Hybrid AF system offers 81 percent coverage to support Subject Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking better. Consequently, the PXW-Z200 can effortlessly track and maintain focus on subjects across the frame.
Cinematic and Broadcast Aesthetics
Achieve the look of professional broadcast or film productions with ease. Use presets for S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural, then adjust black, matrix, and other parameters as desired. Easily color-match footage with content shot on Sony’s other broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.
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. Auto Framing makes it possible to produce footage that looks as though it was manually captured by a professional, even if the camera was stationary the entire time. Solo operators can concentrate on engaging with an interviewee without constantly checking on camera positioning.
Built-in Electronic Variable ND Filter
Seamlessly adjust the Electronic Variable ND Filter to suit various lighting conditions. Move from 1/4 to 1/128 ND with a simple dial adjustment. The Auto ND function can maintain optimal exposure, particularly useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments.
Auto and Manual Switch
Full auto mode can automatically adjust settings and maintain ideal brightness and white balance with a single switch. When set to Auto, it engages Auto ND Filter, Auto Iris, Auto Gain Control, Auto Shutter, and Auto White Mode.
Designed For Live Streaming
Stream directly to compatible live streaming services and video-sharing sites, via a hard-wired or Wi-Fi connection. RTMP and RTMPS or SRT protocols make it easy for a single operator to efficiently manage everything from recording to distribution.
Simple File Transfers
Easily upload proxy and original clips straight from the memory card to a cloud or FTP server. After registering the destination server in the camera, recorded files are transferred automatically whenever the recording stops. Proxy clips can even be recorded in segments and sequentially transferred during recording. The Creator’s Cloud for Enterprise C3 Portal (paid) application makes cloud transfers easy, thereby making video files available for editing and sharing even sooner.
Comprehensive Connectivity
Use SDI input and output (12G, 6G, 3G Level A and B, and HD) and TC input and output for proxy recording and multi-camera productions. Connect with external equipment through HDMI Type-A, USB Type-C, LAN, Remote, and various other connectors.
