Sony PXW-Z190 4K Camcorder

Sony pwx-Z190 4k camera continues the fine tradition of the XDCAM series of cameras. It captures 4K at up to 60p, relying on three 1/3″ Exmore R sensors that provide improved low-light capability when compared to standard sensors.

The pwx-Z190 4k camera integrates a 25x optical Sony G zoom lens and an electronic variable ND filter. The camera supports a variety of codecs out of the box, with an optional MPEG HD license enabling you to shoot HD video.

The pwx-Z190 4k camera supports HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), allowing you to shoot and deliver footage compatible with both HDR (high dynamic range) and SDR (standard dynamic range) without needing laborious post-production work.

Dual SD card slots permit a variety of recording options including simultaneous HD and 4K recoding. The pwx-Z190 4k camera features built-in 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
