This breakthrough in sensor integration delivers a 2x increase in read-out speed compared to a conventional 1.0 sensor for stunning 120fps slow motion in Full HD and spectacular 4K recording. Full pixel read-out helps realise the full potential of the big 1.0 type sensor – there’s no need for pixel binning or line skipping which can result in moiré effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe Z150's high-quality performance, adaptability, and ease of use make it an excellent option for corporate video, house of worship, and legal deposition recording. The camcorder features a single Exmor RS sensor with a UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, Sony G lens with 12x optical zoom range, and 18\/24x Clear Image Zoom in 4K\/HD. It can record 4K in XAVC Long at 4:2:0 8-bit, and HD in XAVC Long at 4:2:2 10-bit at 50 Mb\/s, as well as MPEG2HD at 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 in 8-bit only. The integrated zoom lens features individual lens control rings for focus, iris, and zoom, and produces smooth-rounded-out-of-focus highlights. The lens can be used in either full-auto mode with servo control or as a completely manually operated lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe Z150 transforms expectations of what’s possible with a handy camcorder so you can be confident using it for almost any application. This includes up to 120 frames per second (fps) High Frame Rate continuous recording in Full HD quality, delivering beautiful 5x slow motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eYour footage is recorded to media via two SD memory card slots. You can choose to record simultaneously to both cards or use the relay mode which switches recording automatically to the second memory card when the first one is full. The Z150 isn’t simply a compact, lightweight design – it also integrates advanced features to reduce the need for bulky accessories that slow you down including built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. A built-in four position ND filter means no need to carry a box of filters, MI Shoe eliminates cabling when fitting a microphone or even light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe XW-Z150 features two 3-pin XLR audio inputs that support line, mic, and mic +48V (phantom power) for using external microphones; you can also use the PXW-Z150's built-in microphone to record audio when shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the Sony PXW-Z150 4K XDCAM Camcorder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle 1\" Exmor RS CMOS Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUHD 4K (3840 x 2160) up to 30p\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHD up to 120 fps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSony G Lens with 12x Optical Zoom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18\/24x Clear Image Zoom\/48x Digital Zoom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete Manual Focus, Zoom, Iris Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXAVC, AVC\/H.264, AVCHD 2.0, MPEG-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow and Quick Motion Function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo SD Memory Card Slots, Wi-Fi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 3-Pin XLR Audio Inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gText\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit lh1\"\u003eRevolutionary imaging performance with 1\" Exmor RS Sensor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo deliver imaging performance previously impossible for a compact camcorder, Sony has developed the world’s first 1.0 type stacked CMOS image sensor for professional video applications.
