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.
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.
Side Accessory V-Mount
The integrated side V-mount provides a handy spot for attaching devices like a separate PDT-FP1 portable data transmitter, audio receiver, battery, or smartphone. This V-mount also incorporates a 1/4″-20 screw adapter.
Wireless Monitoring and Remote Control
Integrated 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi lets you check your frame before capture, monitor your shot, and control the camera using the free Monitor & Control app for smartphones and tablets.
Variable ND Filter
The PXW-Z300’s electronically variable ND filter enables on-the-fly exposure adjustments from 1/4 to 1/128 ND without having to change the aperture on the lens or add an external filter. An automatic ND function maintains an optimum exposure when quickly moving between interiors and exteriors.
Video Authentication
The upcoming video authentication function will use C2PA compliance to ensure the credibility of video footage used in news gathering and field reporting.
NOTE: This feature will only be available in select countries and regions.
4-Channel Audio
A multi-interface port and XLR inputs let you capture up to four channels of audio with automatic and dial-based manual level control for each channel.
Network Connectivity
The PXW-Z300 supports quick, simple network configuration for managing files from capture to delivery. It uses Wi-Fi or a wired LAN connection with support for RJ45, 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 10BASE-T.
