Zoom Q8n-4k Handy Video Recorder

Product Information

Five scene settings and three brightness settings allow you to customise your video for the source and conditions When it comes to in-camera image adjustments and presets on the Q8n-4K, there are a few. The camera features just a few brightness adjustments: bright, normal and dark. These lighting presents are accessible through the camera’s BRIGHT button placed on the right side of the LCD screen. Essentially, these modes digitally brighten or darken the image. You can’t customize these modes, so they’re only useful in specific situations. Sometimes, they will work, and sometimes they won’t — you can’t customize the boost in brightness levels to your particular shooting situation. The concept of an audio-first video camera might seem odd at first glance, but it makes perfect sense upon closer inspection. Both this camera and its 2018 predecessor are perfect companions for musicians, for example. Like I said, the audio and video specifications for this item are clearly listed in Sweetwater's description. This camera is not designed to be used as a primary camera for professional productions, but I use it on all of my multi-camera video shoots, and I have always been very pleased with the results.

Available are two shotgun modules, XY/AB stereo modules and VR modules, as well as an XLR extension module. In the box you will find a 120° XYQ-8 stereo module. image credit: ZoomRechargeable lithium-ion battery can capture up to 1.5 hours of footage on highest quality settings

When you want to preview video on a bigger screen the micro HDMI output has you sorted. Frame rate options are 24/25/30fps. FINAL THOUGHTS Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faultyZoom has outfitted the Q8n-4K with a powerful 160-degree wide-angle lens, which captures crystal-clear 4K ultra-high-definition video and offers up to 4x digital zoom. Thanks to the ten onboard scene presets, you don’t need to be a professional cinematographer to achieve top-notch results. Simply select the right one for the filming environment and you’re away. Presets can also be tweaked to your preferences using the rotating full-colour LCD touchscreen, which is easily accessible whether you’re behind or shooting “selfie-style” in front of the camera. A must-have for all content creators in the modern age, the Q8n-4K features USB connectivity to stream directly to your favourite online platforms such as Twitch, Facebook or YouTube. An onboard LCD 180-degree rotatable screen and headphone connection let you monitor your visuals and audio simultaneously to get the shot right the first time and get your content online faster than ever.

The unit can run off the included BT-03b Li-ion battery or accept power through USB-C. The battery charges when plugged into a computer. Use the tripod thread underneath to sit the unit atop a full-size tripod or one of those googly-legged desktop tripods – it’s definitely light enough. Navigating through the Q8n-4K is quite simple and we love that. On the side of the LCD screen is an arrangement of buttons assigned with specific functions depending on what mode you’re in. Nevertheless, the buttons are placed next to the function’s name displayed on the screen. So, for example, the camera’s FOV button is next to the FOV text and menu on the screen. You navigate through the menus by pressing the same button. It follows the same setup in the settings menu: the buttons align with their function on the LCD screen. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

Customer Added Media

Capture every instrument and voice of your band by running the main outputs of a mixing board right to your Q8n-4K.Record in 4K resolution at 30fps. With the F2.8/150º wide-angle lens, five field of view (FOV) settings, and brightness adjustments, the Q8n-4K produces vivid video quality at every shoot. The Zoom Q8n-4K also houses a new sensor with a much higher pixel count than the Q8, jumping from a 3-megapixel 1/3-inch-type CMOS sensor to a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch-type CMOS sensor. With a slightly larger sensor — increasing the pixel count fivefold — there is a noticeable difference in the image quality between the two models. The extra pixels let you capture more detail and dynamic range, leading to a clearer, higher-quality image.
