RAW Out Over HDMI. In addition to the codec-rich internal recording options, the Z Cam E2 S6 can also output 12-bit ProRes RAW over HDMI when paired with a compatible recorder like the Atomos Ninja V when running the latest ATOMOS firmware.
Metal Cube With A Sensor. Z Cam seems to have found their niche with entry-level cameras that are not much bigger than the lenses that will attach to them. This is still the case with the Z Cam E2-S6. The all metal housing makes sure the tightly packed electronics can still dissipate heat while shooting.
Wireless Control. While the Z Cam E2 does feature an LCD for interfacing, it doesn’t offer a live view option and on-board controls are limited by the small amount of real estate on the body itself. Fortunately, users can connect to the camera’s ad hoc Wi-Fi for direct control with the free Z Camera app on compatible iOS and Android devices.
EF Lens Mount. The E2-S6 has an active Canon EF lens mount for compatibility with most first-party and third-party Canon lenses.. Any manual lens with an EF mount will work as well. There’s no official compatibility list as of yet, but please contact us if you have specific lens compatibility concerns.
