World's first 1/2-type 3CMOS Sensor for broadcast 4K
The Z280’s all-new Exmor R imager is custom-designed for broadcast 4K acquisition. Its three 1/2-type Exmor R
CMOS deliver a deep depth of field with superb image quality.
Red, blue, and green light are independently captured by separate image sensors, contributing to high resolution,
high sensitivity of F12 (59.94p) and wide dynamic range.
Accurate OLED viewfinder
An expansive 0.5-inch high quality OLED viewfinder is perfectly offset for right-eye or left-eye viewing.
OLED’s superb accuracy, high contrast and high resolution (2.36M dot) enables precise manual focus and
eliminates any colour-breaking phenomenon.
Revolutionary networking capabilities
Deliver your content faster wherever you are. PXW-Z280 is the world’s first camcorder with Dual Link Cellular
capability for double the uplink performance and reliability.
17x professional HD zoom lens with three independent rings with end-stop and large focal length
The PXW-Z280 is equipped with a 17x professional zoom lens able to zoom from 30.3mm to 515mm (35mm equivalent).
The 1/2-inch type lens has three independent control rings with end-stop, which allows manual control of focus,
zoom and iris, making for better and faster adjustment.
The image can be enlarged without any picture degradation in HD mode and 34x times zoom equivalent image is
captured with sensor cropping extender.
The complete package for professionals
