weight
210 g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
screen size
2.5"
The size of the screen (measured diagonally).
thickness
50.25 mm
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
height
56.1 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Has a flip-out screen
✖Z CAM E1
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
Videography
video recording (main camera)
2160 x 30 fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
supports slow-motion video recording
✖Z CAM E1
Slow-motion is an artistic video effect that makes time seem to go slower. It is achieved by recording a video at a higher frame-rate than the standard playback rate of 24fps or 30fps. Depending on camera capabilities, frame rates for slow-motion videos vary between 60fps and 960fps.
has a 24p cinema mode
✔Z CAM E1
24p is a video format (24 frames per second) traditionally used in cinema. Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics.
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
supports Dolby Vision recording
✖Z CAM E1
The camera can record in Dolby Vision, which is an HDR format that supports greater color depth and brightness than HDR10/HDR10+. It uses dynamic metadata so that each frame can have its own settings for contrast, brightness, and colors, which results in lifelike images.
Has timelapse function
✖Z CAM E1
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
✖Z CAM E1
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
has a serial shot mode
✔Z CAM E1
The burst mode, also called serial shot mode or continuous shooting mode, allows you to shoot multiple photos in a row.
Optics
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
has a BSI sensor
✖Z CAM E1
A BSI (backside illuminated) sensor is a camera image sensor which captures better quality images in poor lighting conditions, and offers better overall sharpness and image quality.
has a CMOS sensor
✔Z CAM E1
CMOS image sensors are slowly replacing CCD sensors, due to reduced power consumption and better image quality. They can be very compact and cost relatively little to produce.
has manual ISO
✖Z CAM E1
This allows you to manually set the ISO level.
Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.
field of view
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Field of view (FOV) is the part of the world that a device can view and record. A wider field of view allows you to capture more of the action.
has manual exposure
✖Z CAM E1
This allows you to manually set the exposure.
has manual white balance
✖Z CAM E1
With manual white balance you can choose the most accurate setting and avoid the green, blue or red hue which can occur in auto mode. You can also change the setting for artistic effect.
