Full-pixel readout enables extremely high quality 4k60p video images, faithfully capturing the subtlest details and textures in the scene

AI Processing unit for AF

The dedicated AI Processing Unit enables accurate recognition of human subjects based on their anatomical structure, posture and other information. It can recognise subjects even when their facing away from the camera , or when their face is not visible as such as when wearing a mask. It can even reliably recognise people that appear small due to their distance to the camera, in shade or backlit.

The 17x Optical zoom lens delivers a wide focal length range of 30.3-515(35mm full-frame equivalent) with a constant maximum aperture of F1.9 throughout the zoom range. The digital extender increases maximum magnification up to 4x in HD while maintaining close to original image quality.

Flexible LCD Arm adapts to any situation

The Flexible LCD Arm allows flexible adjustment of viewing angles while shooting. It can be positioned towards the front of the lens for easy viewing with the camera on a shoulder or aligned with the optical axis of the lens to accommodate a variety of styles.

Electronic Variable ND filter for smooth brightness adjustment

Use the Electronic Variable ND Filter to stay in control of image brightness without having to change camera exposure settings. Set ND mode to variable and adjust smoothly from 1/4 to 1/128 ND with a simple dial. or reply on Auto ND to maintain the optimum exposure- useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments.

Side V-Mount for easy accessory attachment

The Versatile V-mount attachment on the side enables a smooth, integrated shooting setup. Its easy to attach or detach devices such as PDT-FP1 Portable Data Transmitter (sold separately), smartphone, mobile battery, audio receiver, or other third-party accessory via a 1/4 type screw adapter.

Achieve your desired look

Fine-tune your footage by adjusting parameters such as black levels, colour matrices and other settings. S-Cinetone, ITU709, and 709tone looks are available as presets for shooting in SDR (BT.709), plus HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural as presets for HDR (HLG), allowing easy colour matching with other Sony cameras. In addition to these built-in looks, you can also import custom 3D LUTs to apply your own unique look, enabling flexible and consistent visual expression across different shooting environments.

Multiple recording format options

The PWX-Z300 offers a wide choice of recording formats to suit various project requirements including 4k (60p/50p/30p/24p) and HD (60p/60i/50p/50i/30p/25p/24p). In addition to MXF recording in MPEG HD422, XAVC Intra (4k/HD 4:2:2 10bit)

Easy Network Connectivity

Connectivity via Wifi or wired LAN supports a wide range of networking functions. Enhanced for quick, simple configuration, it allows a solo user to efficiently manage everything from shooting to delivery. Once destination settings have been registered, simply connecting the camera to WiFi or other network automatically launches filw transfers.

Dual Memory Card Slots

Simultaneously record full-resolution video and low-res proxies on two memory cards, or use relay recording for uninterrupted shooting. Dual card slots support both CFexpress Type A and SDXC UHS-II/UHS-I memory cards.

Convenient USB Power Delivery

The camera can be powered via an AC adapter that supports USB Power Delivery. Locking mechanism reduces the risk of inadvertent USB cable disconnection, ensuring a reliable power supply.

Rugged Reliability

The camera features a dust-proof and moisture-proof design for dependable performance. A built in cooling fan and strategically places air vents are separated from the electrical system, for effective heat dissipation to maintain maximum operating temperature.
