Multiple recording options

The Z200 offers a variety of recording formats to suit your individual project requirements. XAVC (MXF)* provides enhanced compatibility for MXF-based broadcast TV workflows. XAVC S-I offers highest quality 10-bit 4:2:2 recording for 4K (QFHD) using post-production friendly Intra-Frame H.264. XAVC HS-L (H.265) and XAVC S-L (H.264) offer a choice of 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 with Long GOP recording for extended recording times and file-saving efficiency. XAVC HS Proxy recording of up to 16 Mbps can be recorded simultaneously with higher bit-rate formats, and these smaller proxy files can then be used for editing and previewing prior to final production delivery.

Intelligent features for smarter shooting

Our advanced AI Processing Unit can recognise human subjects, while the Fast Hybrid AF system tracks your subject and maintains precise focus at all times. An Electronic Variable ND Filter means you can achieve the best exposure for your shots, in a wide range of lighting conditions, or the Auto ND function will automatically set optimal exposure for you.

Auto Framing

With Auto Framing engaged the camera will automatically track a recognised human subject and adjust framing so that the subject is always prominently positioned in the frame. The resulting footage can look as though a human operator was manually adjusting framing throughout a shoot – even though the camera was actually stationary the entire time. Solo operators can concentrate on engaging with an interviewee without constantly checking on camera positioning.

Note: 4K footage is cropped, resulting in a narrower angle of view.

Reliable streaming and remote operation

Built-in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi –together with Sony's C3 Portal (paid) or XDCAM Pocket apps – powers simple, high-quality streaming direct from the camera. Remote operation via our Monitor and Control app allows you to check angles and monitor shooting from your smartphone or tablet. The NX800 is ideal for solo operators who want a simple, high-speed workflow.

Cinematic and broadcast base looks

Achieve the look of professional broadcast or film productions with ease. Use presets for S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild and HLG Natural, then adjust black, matrix and other parameters as desired. Easily colour match your footage with content shot on Sony’s other broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.
