- The Sound Behind The Scenes - Without sound, our creations would fall flat. The Q4 delivers audio nuance and quality that far surpass that of any other video camera. Its built-in X/Y microphone allows you to create stunning stereo recordings that cover a wide area while still capturing sound sources in the center with clarity and definition.
- High-Resolution Audio meets High-Definition Video - Zoom products have long set the gold standard for portable audio. The all-new Q4 redefines the state of the art in portable video. Professional videographers understand that the sound is as important as the scene. It's not enough to capture the sound of the ocean; you have to be able to feel the water bubbling beneath your feet. The Q4 delivers exactly that kind of experience. Its unique blend of high-resolution 24-bit/96k audio with high-definition 1080p video means never having to compromise on quality.
- X/Y Stereo Recording - The Q4's wide angle X/Y microphone incorporates two matched unidirectional elements-mics that are especially sensitive to signal coming from directly in front, and less sensitive to signal coming from behind or from the sides. The convenient placement of the mic enables the supplied windscreen to be easily attached, allowing you to use the Q4 even on difficult outdoor shoots. In addition, a built-in low-cut filter can be used to reduce low-frequency noise, allowing you to capture great sound both indoors and outdoors.
- High-Resolution Perspective - The Q4's versatile and flexible design challenges video creators to push themselves to the limit. Compact yet compatible with standard tripod and three prong action camera mounts, the Q4 can go anywhere. Its wide-angle lens and choice of video formats and frame rates allow the Q4 to record sharp, detailed images in any situation, and its full-color rotating LCD-which can be detached during shooting for portability and extended battery life-provides a clear preview of each moment you capture.
- Make Connections - The Q4's LCD and built-in speaker allows instant monitoring of your recordings, but it also offers additional flexibility through its various connectors: a stereo 1/8" Mic/Line In jack, a stereo 1/8" Line In/Headphone jack, a micro-HDMI video output, and a USB port. Make use of a wide range of devices to boost your production capabilities: connect, stream, and share.
- Charge Forward - All you need to power the Q4 is the single supplied lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery, which can be recharged with the use of an optional AC adapter or by connecting the Q4 to your computer via USB. Battery life is approximately three hours when shooting video at 720p/30fps, or two hours when shooting high-definition 1080/30fps video, giving you the freedom to leave the studio behind and explore the world around you.
- Flexible Formats - The Q4 records directly to SDXC cards up to 128GB in a variety of video and audio file formats, making it fully adaptable for your needs. The three HD settings provide maximum video quality while the two WVGA options can be used to conserve SD card space. The Q4 supports two audio file formats: WAV, up to 24-bit/96kHz, for uncompressed full fidelity sound, or AAC to conserve space.
- APPLICATIONS It's All About the Experience - The Q4 doesn't just get good footage, it captures experiences. Use it to document the important events in your life such as weddings, anniversaries, and graduations-or use it for creative projects, giving your work the crisp, realistic quality it deserves.
- MEMORY MAKING Enjoy That Great Performance Over and Over Again - The Q4's built-in X/Y microphone is designed to capture the natural ambience of a live concert and deliver lifelike sound with sharpness and definition. An optional guitar clamp lets viewers experience firsthand what it's like to be onstage.
- VIDEO MAKING Capture Shots From A Better Perspective - Compact, lightweight, and mountable on any standard tripod or three prong action camera mount, the Q4 is optimized to go where the action is. It offers a full-color LCD which can be freely rotated for self-shooting or detached for increased portability and extended battery life. Sensing options allow the Q4 to automatically adapt to various lighting situations, and there are selectable viewing angles too. The Q4 is also able to send digital data to DAWs or video editors such as iMovie or Final Cut Pro.
