Zoom Q2n 4K Handy Video Recorder Overview
The 4K Camera for Musicians
The Zoom Q2n-4K combines unrivalled audio with crisp 4K imaging to completely capture your rehearsals, performances and live streams like never before.
Look As Good As You Sound Point Easily capture your full band or solo act using five fields of view (FOV) settings. Aim The Q2n-4K’s 150-degree lens and colour LCD make it easy to frame the perfect shot. Capture At the touch of a button, the Q2n-4K captures premium video recordings at up to 4K Ultra HD resolution.
Sound As Good As You Look You work hard to cultivate your sound. The Q2n-4K’s X/Y stereo microphones are designed to handle everything from saxophone to heavy metal.
The Camera for Lights & Action Stage lights can overexpose your video and can ruin a good take. The Q2n-4K’s high dynamic range (HDR) technology automatically adjusts the exposure, so your lighting effects don’t blow out the shot.
Setting the Scene 12 ‘Scene’ presets allow you to record your performances in a wide range of environments, including “Jazz Club”, “Concert Light”, “Dance Club” and “Outdoor”. The Q2n-4K even features an “Auto” scene setting, which will detect your current lighting and select the appropriate balance for you.
Monitoring Monitor your audio via headphones with the Q2n-4K’s 1/8” stereo output jack.
