Sony PXW-Z300 3-CMOS XDCAM Camcorder

The latest tech, for the way you work

The PXW-Z300 showcases advanced Sony digital imaging technologies, including three 1/2-type 4K Exmor R® CMOS image sensors with the power-packed BIONZ XR™ image processing engine, and the AI Processing Unit that enhances high-performance shooting at 4K60p with Subject Recognition AF.

Professional operability

You’re in control with pro-friendly functions like three independent rings for adjusting focus, zoom and iris, plus the Flexible LCD Arm that supports any shooting style. Smooth, intuitive operability is further enhanced by the Side V-Mount for quick and easy attachment of accessories.

BIONZ XR™ image processing engine

Working in real time, the latest generation BIONZ XR™ image processing engine realises the full performance of the three 1/2-type 4K Exmor R® CMOS image sensors. Full-pixel readout enables extremely high quality 4K60p video images, faithfully capturing the subtlest details and textures in the scene.

Advanced AI Processing Unit for AF

The dedicated AI Processing Unit enables accurate recognition of human subjects based on their anatomical structure, posture and other information. It can recognise subjects even when they’re facing away from the camera, or when their face is not visible such as when wearing a mask. It can even reliably recognise people that appear small due to their distance from the camera, and in situations where their face is angled to the camera, in shade or backlit. Moreover, the PXW-Z300 can automatically adjust composition to keep human subjects in the centre of the frame. An evolved ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) function helps ensure natural looking white balance.

Three 1/2-type back-illuminated 4K Exmor R® CMOS image sensors

Designed for news and production, the three 1/2-type Exmor R® CMOS image sensors capture exceptionally detailed, lifelike images with a deep depth of field and a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (H x V) effective pixels. A high sensitivity of F12* is complemented by exceptional colour reproduction and wide dynamic range with very low noise for superb footage, whether you’re shooting in 4K or Full HD.

*At 4K: High Sensitivity Mode; at HD: Normal Mode

Intuitive fingertip operation

Three independent rings allow fingertip adjustment of focus, zoom and iris without taking your eyes off the scene. Rotation end stops help with intuitive operation by feel of ring position. The focus ring also slides forward or backward for immediate switching between autofocus and full manual focus.
