The PXW-Z300's network functionality has been enhanced through improved communication device integration, which supports modern production workflows that utilise 5G and cloud technologies. This enables live streaming from shooting locations and efficient file transfer over networks.

Superb Imaging Performance and Versatile Operational Capabilities

The camcorder features 1/2-inch back-illuminated 4K 3-CMOS Exmor R sensors and the BIONZ XR image processing engine, enabling excellent colour separation, F123 sensitivity, and 4K 60p recording.

It incorporates a 17x optical zoom lens with F1.9 constant maximum aperture and three independent manual control rings for traditional camera operation. By utilising the digital extender function, individuals can achieve 1.5x zoom in 4K mode and up to 4x zoom in HD mode with minimal degradation, making the camera suitable for a wide range of capturing scenarios, including news gathering and event documentation.

Additionally, the camera is equipped with an Electronic Variable ND filter that seamlessly adjusts transmission from 1/4 to 1/128, along with optical image stabilisation. This allows for smooth brightness adjustment and stable capture when moving between locations with varying light conditions, such as from bright outdoor areas to dim interior spaces.
