1″ Exmor RS CMOS Sensor
The PXW-Z200’s 1.0″-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor uses its stacked design to provide optimal image quality, faster readout speeds, and excellent low-light performance. It produces extraordinary 4K imagery using 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout.
Longer 20x Optical Zoom
Capture views ranging from close-ups to wide angles in tight interiors using the 20x G-series zoom equivalent to a 35mm full-frame 24-480mm. Tap the Clear Image Zoom function to expand the zoom range to 30x in 4K and 40x in HD.
BIONZ XR Processing
The latest BIONZ XR TM image processor enables higher frame rates, faster autofocus, improved ATW control, and excellent noise reduction. Extracting maximum performance from the high-resolution image sensor lets you capture the most subtle textures and finest detail. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses ample image information into stunning UHD 4K60 video.
Advanced AI-Assisted Autofocus
