1” Exmor RS CMOS sensor

The PXW-Z200’s 1.0”-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor utilizes a stacked design for optimum image quality, faster readout speeds, and excellent low-light performance. The sensor produces exceptional 4K images with 5K oversampling and full-pixel readout.

Longer 20x optical zoom

Capture images ranging from close-ups to wide-angle shots in cramped interiors with the G-series 20x zoom, equivalent to a 35mm full-frame 24-480mm. Use the Clear Image Zoom function to extend the zoom range to 30x in 4K and 40x in HD.

BIONZ XR processing

The latest BIONZ XR TM image processor delivers higher frame rates, faster autofocus, improved ATW control, and excellent noise reduction. By extracting maximum performance from the high-resolution image sensor, you can capture the subtlest textures and finest details. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses vast image information into stunning UHD 4K60 video.

Advanced AI-assisted autofocus

The PXW-Z200's AI-powered deep learning enables accurate recognition of human subjects.

With 81% coverage, the Fast Hybrid autofocus system offers enhanced support for both Subject Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking.

Automatic framing

Keep a close eye on your subjects with Auto Framing, which automatically detects human shapes and adjusts the frame to keep your subject centered. Especially useful for solo filmmakers, Auto Framing mimics manual shooting while allowing you to stay focused on your subject.

Flexible frame rates

Record up to UHD 4K60 video and high frame rates up to UHD 4K120 and 1080p HD at 240 fps. Slow motion speeds are 4x at 4K30 and 5x at 4K24p with fast autofocus to keep your subject sharp.

Pro Broadcasts and Film Appearance

Presets for S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild and HLG Natural can be further customized with black, matrix and other adjustments.

The PXW-Z200's content can be color matched with footage from other Sony broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.

Easy file transfer

The PXW-Z200 lets you upload proxy and original clips directly from a memory card to a cloud or FTP server. Files are automatically transferred when each recording stops after the destination server has been registered in the camera. You can even record proxy clips in segments and transfer them sequentially during recording. The optional, paid Creator's Cloud for Enterprise C3 Portal application makes cloud transfers easy and ensures that video files are available for editing and sharing even faster.

You can stream to compatible platforms using RTMP/RTMPS and SRT protocols.

Advanced white balance

The PXW-Z200's ATW (Auto-Tracing Balance) provides improved performance even in shaded areas.

Advanced image stabilization

Built-in image stabilization minimizes camera shake, giving you the smoothest footage possible. Active Mode stabilization uses both optical and electronic elements to make your handheld footage look as if you were using a gimbal.

OLED viewfinder and 3.5” LCD screen

The PXW-Z200 has an OLED viewfinder and a 3.5” LCD screen to check your shots.

The high-contrast OLED EVF provides a bright 2.36MP image while blocking ambient light.

The LCD screen can be positioned for best viewing and comes with a sunshade.

Recording options

With multiple recording options, you can choose the best solution for every project you’re capturing. Choose XAVC SI for the highest quality, post-friendly 10-bit 4:2:2 4K (QFHD) recording with Intra-Frame H.264. XAVC HS-L (H.265) and XAVC SL (H.264) offer the choice of 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 with Long GOP recording for extended recording times and file-saving efficiency.
