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.
PL Lens Mount. This E2-S6 has an passive PL lens mount for compatibility with most PL-mount cinema lenses. There’s no official compatibility list, but please contact us if you have specific lens compatibility concerns.
