Crisp details and vivid colours, every time
Capture stunning 4K HDR footage, with colours, textures and details that stand out. The Z200’s powerful 1.0-type Exmor RS™ stacked CMOS sensor delivers images with high sensitivity and low noise, at up to 120fps* in 4K, 240fps in FHD. Preserve every detail with full-pixel readout and real-time BIONZ XR™ image processing, while compatibility with 709tone and S-Cinetone™ makes colour-matching to Cinema Line and Sony system cameras easy.
Intelligent features for smarter shooting
Depend on Sony innovations that help you to capture the best content possible. Our advanced AI Processing Unit can recognise human subjects, while the Fast Hybrid AF system tracks your subject and maintains precise focus at all times. An Electronic Variable ND Filter means you can achieve the best exposure for your shots, in a wide range of lighting conditions, or the Auto ND function will automatically set optimal exposure for you.
Reliable streaming and broadcast TV friendly connectivity
Built-in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz* Wi-Fi – in concert with our C3 Portal (paid) or XDCAM Pocket apps – powers simple, high-quality streaming direct from the camera. Remote operation via our Monitor & Control** app allows you to check angles and monitor shooting from your smartphone or tablet. The Z200 also offers built-in 12G-SDI with four-times the bandwidth of 3G-SDI over a single cable, TC input / output and broadcast friendly XAVC (MXF).***
Auto Framing
With Auto Framing engaged the camera will automatically track a recognised human subject and adjust framing so that the subject is always prominently positioned in the frame. The resulting footage can look as though a human operator was manually adjusting framing throughout a shoot – even though the camera was actually stationary the entire time. Solo operators can concentrate on engaging with an interviewee without constantly checking on camera positioning.
4K 120fps* for stunning slow-motion footage
The high readout speed of the Exmor RS sensor enables 4K high frame rate (HFR) recording at up to 120fps and FHD at 240fps. Achieve 4x slow motion in 4K at 30p or 5x slow motion at 24p. Whatever your creative choice, high speed AF helps ensure your subject is kept in focus. Slow & Quick Motion** is supported for up to 4K 120fps and FHD 240fps recording.
20x optical zoom
One superb 20x power zoom G Lens™ covers everything from wide angle in-car interviews to telephoto close-ups for sports. Delivering an optical zoom range of 24-480 mm (35mm full-frame equivalent), it’s backed up by Sony’s Clear Image Zoom technology, which adds the ability to achieve 30x zoom when recording 4K or 40x zoom in FHD. And you can explore maximum apertures of F2.8 (wide) and F4.5 (telephoto) while zooming quickly, smoothly and silently.
Advanced image stabilisation
Minimise the effects of camera shake with built-in image stabilisation. Make sure of smooth, stable footage in Active Mode* image stabilisation, where optical and electronic stabilisation work together to make handheld shots glide effortlessly.
Built-in Electronic Variable ND Filter
Seamlessly adjust the Electronic Variable ND Filter to suit a variety of light levels. Move from 1/4 to 1/128 ND with a simple dial adjustment or rely on the Auto ND function to maintain the optimum exposure for you—especially useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments.
Cinematic and broadcast base looks
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 colour match your footage with content shot on Sony’s other broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.
Multiple recording options
The Z200 offers a variety of recording formats to suit your individual project requirements. XAVC (MXF)* provides enhanced compatibility for MXF-based broadcast TV workflows. XAVC S-I offers highest quality 10-bit 4:2:2 recording for 4K (QFHD) using post-production friendly Intra-Frame H.264. XAVC HS-L (H.265) and XAVC S-L (H.264) offer a choice of 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 with Long GOP recording for extended recording times and file-saving efficiency. XAVC HS Proxy recording of up to 16 Mbps can be recorded simultaneously with higher bit-rate formats, and these smaller proxy files can then be used for editing and previewing prior to final production delivery.
