Feel the Cultural Communication in Shooting —— The Application of Z150 in Documentary

20 17 is the 50th anniversary of the founding of ASEAN, and it is also the China-ASEAN Tourism Year. In order to further deepen the non-governmental interaction between China and ASEAN countries, the documentary channel of Beijing TV Station and China-ASEAN Center jointly planned and filmed this large-scale documentary "Hi, ASEAN-Belt and Road ASEAN Tour".

Documentary shooting takes several months to several years, which is a great test for photographers and photographic equipment. In particular, many countries in ASEAN have a humid tropical rain forest climate, and some underdeveloped villages with harsh natural environment have brought great challenges to shooting. Long-term shooting can't bear manual lighting, and sudden shots put forward high requirements for the flexibility of people and equipment.

However, Z 150 has a remarkable performance in the large-scale documentary "Hey, ASEAN-Belt and Road ASEAN Tour" of Beijing TV. The film crew chose five kinds of equipment, and the soldiers were divided into three ways: the first way out, Sony PMW-F55 and PXW-FS7 as the host, but with tripod and other equipment, the restrictions were great; The second way out, we focused on the mobility of the machine, so we chose Sony PXW-Z 150 and PXW-X70. The indicators of these two machines can fully meet our shooting requirements, which is much less than the first time. The third path also uses PXW-Z 150 and PXW-X70.

As a handheld device of PXW-Z 150, Wang Xu concluded that it is an efficient machine. PXW-Z 150 is a handheld 4K camera launched by Sony last year. Lightweight is the main reason for its success, weighing less than 2kg.

Wojtek Bogdanowicz from London @Voytek professional video production company also said: "It is so small and easy to carry, and it is the perfect choice for news reporting. I can take it overseas as my personal belongings and pass the customs inspection without any trouble. "

When the position of the subject changes, the PXW-Z 150 handle is scientifically designed, and it can respond quickly when squatting immediately or switching between left and right hands. Moreover, when it is changed to the dial key, the response is fast and it is not easy to make mistakes. There is a risk that the knob is adjusted too late, and the knob is more accurate.

When shooting in the original ecological environment, thanks to the 1 inch imager of PXW-Z 150 and the large aperture of F2.8, it is enough to meet the exposure in low illumination environment. Once I photographed the residence of Indonesian aborigines, in a room with almost no light, the gain was above 1.2 dB, and the picture effect was clear and delicate.

As an integrated camera, PXW-Z 150 is equipped with a 12 optical zoom G lens, and the lens is a Sony wide-angle G lens with an equivalent focal length of 29-348mm, which can achieve 12 optical zoom and 18 clear zoom at 4K resolution without losing image quality. And can complete high frame rate shooting, that is, upgrade, achieving 50i 100fps and 60i 120fps. At the same time, this camera also marks the official entry of Sony mobile phones into the era of 1 inch: 1 inch stacked CMOS, which effectively improves the image quality, doubles the readout, improves the image quality and reduces moire fringes. Dolby is sound certified and supports Wi-Fi transmission.

In detail, SD card slots have changed from vertical arrangement to staggered arrangement; Keys for manually adjusting gain, shutter, color temperature, etc. They have all been changed to the up and down buttons, which is more in line with the operating habits of the employees.
