Touch Screen Focus Pulls by WiFi
 

From your phone, connected by WiFi to the Z, you can pre-select and store two focus points (A and B), then go between the points with no focusing delay or glitches. The stored points are focus pre-sets, not where you are asking the camera to try to focus. The focusing occurs at a chosen point first (by touching the phone screen), then the point is stored. So, you get smooth transitions, touching A then B and back and so on, as seen in this test video.

Good match: the SLR Magic 8mm f4 lens ($169) and the Z.

I ran the camera 3 hours indoors checking with a infared thermometer for heat wifi on/off recording/or not on ac and battery with hdmi out to a switcher. The ambient temperature was 20c and I was not able to get the E1 to heatup beyond 40c. It mostly hovered around 38c and gave no warnings nor did it shut down.

Something else: the hdmi out 1080p does not stop when recording 4k internally unlike the ax100 which is a big plus for live streaming

And I can report that it shot hours of video at -10C outdoors. I was worse for wear, but the camera did fine.

very nice
you mentioned i think manual focus is the way you shoot. right?
what other settings were employed on the street art flick above. tks

Re: $249 Z Camera E1 4K and DCI 4K Videos
 

Thanks. Aperture priority mode with aperture at f8, .8 ND filter. I use "push-to-focus" AF and then manually tweak if necessary (like sometimes for close objects). Zlog for "color", tweaked in post with curves and saturation.

Re: $249 Z Camera E1 4K and DCI 4K Videos
 

I think the title of the thread is misleading. Where is this camera available at the title price of $249? The manufacturer's website lists a nominal RRP of $699. B&H have is at $499, still twice the title price. Seriously, at $249 it would be a steal!

Re: $249 Z Camera E1 4K and DCI 4K Videos
 

It sold for from $199 to $249 for about a month. Where were you then? And many, many people bought it at those prices, so it was a #1 bestseller at BHPhotoVideo. Perhaps there will be another sale. But now that the camera is known, that may be less likely.

I bought it at $199, taking a chance that the camera was good. And it is!

Re: $249 Z Camera E1 4K and DCI 4K Videos
 

well you missed it.All over the Christmas period for at least a week it was down to 199 at band h nyc

Re: $249 Z Camera E1 4K and DCI 4K Videos
 

OK, I stand corrected.

Sorry I missed those prices, I will have to wait and see.

Re: $249 Z Camera E1 4K and DCI 4K Videos
 

You should keep an eye on the used market because the camera won't be suitable for everyone who purchased at those prices

Re: $249 Z Camera E1 4K and DCI 4K Videos
 

Price is back down to $249
 

B&H store again.
