Sony PXW-Z190 Handheld Camcorder

Description

4K Handheld Camcorder with all-new 1/3-type 3CMOS with 4K 50p/60p* recording capability, 25x zoom lens, and advanced Face Detection AF

The PXW-Z190 is the world’s first professional camcorder with a 4K (QFHD) 1/3-inch type sensor. Red, blue, and green light are independently captured by separate image sensors within the Exmor R^TM system in 3840 x 2160 resolution at up to 60fps. Even if you’re delivering in HD, 4:2:2 10-bit recordings will capture detail and image texture that HD sensors simply cannot see.

The PXW-Z190 is equipped with a 25x professional zoom lens able to zoom from 28.8 mm to 720 mm (35 mm equivalent). The 1/3-inch type lens has three independent control rings, which allows manual control of focus, zoom, and iris, making for better and faster adjustment.

The image can be enlarged in HD mode up to 50x zoom equivalent while maintaining Full HD resolution, thanks to digital extender.

The PXW-Z190 features newly developed Face detection AF. You can choose between Face Priority AF and Face Only AF. Simply keep the person in frame and, however you move to obtain a better angle, you can be confident the PXW-Z190 will keep your subject in pin-sharp focus.

The PXW-Z190 offers four-channel audio recording with two independent volume dials enabling precision control of external audio.

The camcorder is equipped with two SD memory card slots, which can record in either Simul or Relay or Back up mode. Simul mode permits simultaneous recording to two memory cards, ideal for archival purposes. Relay mode automatically switches recording from the first to the second memory card when the first is full to extend recording times. In Back up mode, users can set up the two Start/Stop buttons on the PXW-Z190, one on the grip and one on the camcorder body, to independently start and stop recording on different memory cards while recording in Simul mode.*

*Simul and back-up recording are limited to HD operation.
