Sony PXW-Z300 3-CMOS XDCAM Camcorder
Description
High-Performance UHD 4K60 Capture
Packed with broadcast-friendly features, Sony's PXW-Z300 3-CMOS XDCAM Camcorder uses a 3-CMOS 1/2"-type sensor to capture up to UHD 4K60 video. It features advanced AI autofocus, improved network functions, video authentication, a high-bright, touchscreen LCD side V-mount, flexible LCD arm, HEVC proxies, and SRT streaming.
Agile News and Production Workflows
Features such as digital signature embedding for authenticity confirmation, efficient file transfer and streaming, and cloud connectivity enable fast, agile news and production workflows.
4K Exmor R CMOS Sensors and BIONZ XR Processor
The PXW-Z300's BIONZ XR image processor works with the three 4K Exmor R CMOS sensors in real time to capture finely detailed, lifelike images with excellent color reproduction, deep depth of field, and very low noise.
17x Zoom Lens
The 17x zoom lens provides a 30.3 to 515mm (35mm equivalent) range with a constant f/1.9 maximum aperture. A digital extender provides 2x, 3x, or 4x magnification in HD and 1.5x magnification in UHD 4K. The independent focus, iris, and zoom rings let you quickly make manual adjustments without needing to take your eye away from the viewfinder. You can even switch between autofocus and fully manual focus by sliding the focus ring forward or back.
Advanced AI Processing Unit for Autofocus
A dedicated AI processing unit provides advanced subject recognition autofocus for the PXW-Z300. The AF can recognize subjects when they're facing away from the camera, wearing a mask, are at a far distance or in the shade, or are backlit. Use the auto composition feature to keep your human subjects centered in the frame.
Optical Image Stabilization
Built-in OIS (optical image stabilization) helps to minimize any blurring or camera shake when shooting handheld.
Look Matching
The PXW-Z300 supports S-Cinetone, ITU709, and 709tone looks presets for shooting in SDR (BT.709), plus HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural as presets for HDR (HLG) for easy color matching with other Sony cameras. It also supports custom 3D LUT import for creating your own unique looks.
Versatile Recording and Format Options
• Dual SD card slots, Picture Cache buffering, Interval Recording, and Slow & Quick motion provide versatile capture options.
• Multiple recording formats include UHD 4K and HD at 24 to 60p and 50 and 60i HD selections.
• MXF recording in MPEG HD422 is supplemented by XAVC Intra, XAVC Long, and proxy MP4 options.
Touchscreen LCD with Flexible Arm
The high-bright touchscreen LCD monitor is mounted on a flexible arm for more comfortable viewing. You can face the monitor forward for vlogging-style viewing, align it with the optical axis of the lens, or move it forward for easy shoulder-mount viewing. A magnifier function lets you enlarge the menu screen at selectable levels.
