Sony PXW-Z300: A Breakthrough in Professional 4K Camcorder Design

Next-Gen Imaging with AI-Powered Performance

The PXW-Z300 blends a trio of 1/2-inch 4K Exmor R CMOS sensors with the BIONZ XR processor and a dedicated AI engine for reliable real-time autofocus—even on masked, turned-away, or backlit subjects.

Powerful Zoom & Optical Mastery

Enjoy a constant f/1.9 aperture across a 17x optical zoom lens with independent control rings for iris, zoom, and focus. Switch between full manual and autofocus with a quick flick of the focus ring.

Flexible Monitoring & Side V-Mount Design

The articulating LCD arm allows waist-level, shoulder-mounted, or forward-facing shooting. The high-brightness 3.5” monitor is ultra-visible even in sunlight. Attach a transmitter or smartphone securely to the side V-mount.

Connectivity, Authentication & Streaming

Support for RTMP, RTMPS, and SRT protocols makes the PXW-Z300 ready for cloud-first workflows. With embedded C2PA video signatures, it's the world's first camcorder to ensure content authenticity in-video.

Recording Formats & Looks

Record in XAVC Intra, Long, MPEG HD422, or proxy in HEVC. Look profiles include S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG presets, and custom 3D LUT imports. Dual SD slots and picture cache offer added flexibility.
