The Sony PXW-Z200 delivers 4K image quality through a state of the art 1.0-type EXMOR RS CMOS image sensor, AI-powered Subject Recognition AF, 20x zoom, live streaming through Wi-Fi, USB, or SDI, plus color matching support for 709tone, S-Cinetone, and more.
Capture stunning 4K HDR footage with striking colors, textures, and details.
The PXW-Z200’s powerful 1.0-type Exmor RS™ stacked CMOS sensor delivers images with high sensitivity and low noise at up to 120fps1 in 4K and 240fps in FHD. Full-pixel readout and real-time BIONZ XR™ image processing preserves every detail, while compatibility with 709tone and S-Cinetone™ makes color-matching to Sony system and Cinema Line cameras easy.
Intelligent features for effortless shooting
Leveraging Sony’s innovations to help you capture the best content possible, our advanced AI Processing Unit can recognize human subjects, while the Fast Hybrid AF system tracks your subject and maintains precise focus throughout the shot. An Electronic Variable ND Filter means you can achieve the optimal exposure for your shots in a wide range of lighting conditions or utilize the Auto ND function to have exposure set automatically.
Reliable streaming and professional connectivity
Built-in 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, and an ethernet port enable simple, high-quality streaming direct from the camera. RTMP/RTMPS and SRT protocols make it easy for a single operator to manage the entire workflow- everything from recording to distribution- efficiently. Remote operation via our Monitor & Control2 app allows you to check angles and monitor shooting from your smartphone or tablet. The PXW-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).
1.0-type Exmor RS™ CMOS Sensor
The PXW-Z200 is equipped with a large (approximately 14.0 megapixel (effective) 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS™ image sensor. Its unique stacked structure—with back-illuminated pixels layered over integrated signal processing circuits—enables faster read-out speeds and superior low-light performance due to the design allowing more light to reach the sensor. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses ample image information into stunning 4K (3840 x 2160) 60p video.
Wide Zoom Range
One superb 20x power zoom G Lens™ covers applications from wide-angle in-car interviews to telephoto close-ups for sports. It delivers an optical zoom range of 24-480 mm (35mm full-frame equivalent). With Sony’s Clear Image Zoom technology, the new camera can achieve 30x zoom when recording 4K or 40x zoom in FHD. Maximum apertures of F2.8 (wide) and F4.5 (telephoto) provide better low-light performance and additional creative applications.
Advanced AI Processing Unit for next generation AF
A specialized AI Processing Unit, working in concert with BIONZ XR TM, uses deep learning based on human form and posture data to recognize human subjects with high precision. The Fast Hybrid AF system offers 81% coverage to support Subject Recognition AF and Real-time Tracking better. Consequently, the PXW-Z200 can effortlessly track and maintain focus on subjects across the frame.
Cinematic and Broadcast Aesthetics
Achieve the look of professional broadcast or film productions with ease. Use presets for S-Cinetone TM, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural, then adjust black, matrix, and other parameters as desired. Easily color match footage with content shot on Sony’s other broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.
Auto Framing
With Auto Framing engaged, the camera will automatically track a recognized human subject and adjust framing so that the subject is always prominently positioned in the frame. Auto Framing makes it possible to produce footage that looks as though it was manually captured by a professional – even if the camera was stationary the entire time. Solo operators can concentrate on engaging with an interviewee without constantly checking on camera positioning.
Built-in Electronic Variable ND Filter
Seamlessly adjust the Electronic Variable ND Filter to suit various lighting conditions. Move from 1/4 to 1/128 ND with a simple dial adjustment. The Auto ND function can maintain optimal exposure, particularly useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments.
Designed For Live Streaming
Stream directly to compatible live streaming services and video sharing sites, via a hard-wired or Wi-Fi connection. RTMP/RTMPS or SRT protocols make it easy for a single operator to efficiently manage everything from recording to distribution.
Simple File Transfers
Easily upload proxy and original clips straight from the memory card to a cloud or FTP server. After registering the destination server in the camera, recorded files are transferred automatically whenever the recording stops. Proxy clips can even be recorded in segments and sequentially transferred during recording.
The Creator’s Cloud for Enterprise C3 Portal (paid) application makes cloud transfers easy, thereby making video files available for editing and sharing even sooner.
Comprehensive Connectivity
Use SDI input and output (12G, 6G, 3G Level A & B, and HD) and TC input and output for proxy recording and multi-camera productions. Connect with external equipment through HDMI Type-A, USB Type-C®, LAN, REMOTE, and various other connectors.
BIONZ XR TM Image Processing
Integrated within the image sensor, our latest generation BIONZ XR TM image processor enables higher frame rates, faster autofocus, improved Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW) control, and superior noise reduction. It extracts maximum performance from the high-resolution image sensor, capturing the most subtle textures and finest detail. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses ample image information into stunning 4K (3840 x 2160) 60p video.
Slow and Quick
The high readout speed of the Exmor RS TM 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 supports up to 4K 120fps and FHD 240fps recording.
Accurate LCD Monitor and OLED Viewfinder
Easily monitor and focus on subjects with a new 3.5-type LCD monitor that offers approximately 2.76 million dots with outstanding brightness and clarity. The monitor swings up, down, and backward, making finding the right viewing angle easy. The supplied LCD hood is easily installed by sliding it into the grooves in the top and bottom of the LCD monitor, while the monitor can be folded away for storage even with the hood installed.
For clear, unimpeded viewing, the high-contrast 0.39-type OLED viewfinder shuts out extraneous light while offering approximately 2.36 million-dots.
