Z CAM E2-M4 Professional 4K Cinema Camera MFT
The Z CAM E2-M4 4K Cinema camera has an interchangeable lens mount by Micro Four Thirds, with the same camera body as the z cam flagship series and with the latest update as the Z CAM E2, you can record ProRes RAW with selected Atomos recorders/monitors. This compact camera records DCI and UHD 4K at up to 160 fps, as well as HD up to 240 fps and records on a CFast 2.0 card (not included). A future update will allow the E2-M4 to support RTMP, RTPS and SRT live streaming directly from the camera without the need for a computer. The camera features a 4/3" sensor with 10/12-bit color support and a nominal 13 stops of dynamic range with 16 stops when set to WDR. The camera supports recording in 10-bit ProRes 422, as well as H.265 and H.264 codecs for efficient compression of your image.
The E2-M4 can be controlled via serial ports, a 2.5mm LANC connector, a USB Type-C port, an Ethernet port, or with the Z Camera iOS app to control the camera via Wi-Fi and to preview a live image and configure settings. The camera can record timelapse, slowmation and can even live stream via its Gigabit Ethernet port. The E2-M4 camera can be powered from a separately available Sony Np-l series battery or via an AC adapter (not included).
