- Integrated 17x Optical Zoom Lens
- Electronic Variable ND Filter
- Supports XAVC Intra/Long, MPEG HD, DVCAM
PXW-Z280 is the world’s first camcorder with built-in Dual Link Cellular connection, good for double the uplink performance and reliability.
Integrated 12G-SDI supports transfers at up to 12Gbps over a standard SDI cable. Advanced XAVC-Intra and XAVC-Long for 4K QFHD and HD, plus MPEG HD422, MPEG HD and DVCAM to support any workflow.
4K HDR Performance
4K 3CMOS 1/2-type sensor with a deep depth of field and a great performance provides the pinnacle of 4K HDR performance in your hand. Face Detection AF keeps your subject in focus, while HLG and S-Log3 provide perfect HDR to suit any workflow.
1/2-type 3CMOS Sensor for Broadcast 4K
The Z280’s all-new Exmor R imager is custom-designed for broadcast 4K acquisition. Its three 1/2-type Exmor R CMOS deliver a deep depth of field with a great image quality.
Red, blue, and green light are independently captured by separate image sensors, contributing to high-res, a high sensitivity of F12 (59.94p) and wide dynamic range.
An advanced LSI delivers remarkably lifelike 4K 4:2:2 10-bit images. Even if you’re delivering in HD, your recordings will capture detail and image texture that HD sensors simply cannot see.
12G-SDI Accelerated Workflow
Revolutionise your workflow with 12Gbps content transfer – four times the bandwidth of 3G-SDI over a single cable and ideal for working with highest quality 4K content or speeding through HD content.
