Optimized
for musicians, performers, and content creators, the Zoom Q4n Handy Video Recorder is a compact camera
that combines higher-than-HD 2304x1296 video recording with Zoom's high-quality
audio capture technology. It features a wide-angle 160° lens to capture the
entire scene or stage and offers ten scene presets to adapt to various lighting
conditions/environments. On the audio side, the Q4 features pop-up 120°
microphones that can be configured in either A/B or X/Y configurations to
capture live studio performances, concerts, or solo jam sessions. You can even
use the Q4n as a stand-alone audio recorder, with audio saved in either
uncompressed WAV (up to 24-bit / 96 kHz) or compressed AAC formats.
Compact and lightweight, the Zoom Q4n can be attached directly to your guitar
using the optional GHM-1 Guitar Headstock Mount, placed in various areas on a
stage using the optional MSM-1 Microphone Stand Mount, or attached to any
3-prong GoPro-style mount using an included adapter. A flip-out, full-color,
rotating 2" LCD touchscreen provides a convenient interface for monitoring
your images and audio levels, as well as adjusting settings. A micro-HDMI port
allows you to connect the camcorder to your HDTV to watch your footage.
Additional connectivity includes an external stereo input jack with plug-in
power for connecting external microphones and other audio devices, and a
headphones/line output jack for listening to your audio.
A USB port lets you connect the Q4n to your computer or iPad (using an optional
iPad camera connection kit) for use as a webcam or USB microphone. You can also
stream live, transfer recordings, and recharge the included lithium-ion
battery. A separately-available AC adapter is also available for battery
charging.
Higher-than-HD
2.3K Video
The Q4n captures up to 2304x1296
video at 30 fps, giving you a higher resolution than Full HD 1080p. The extra
resolution is useful when you want to crop or reframe a shot. You can also
record in standard 1080p at 30 fps, as well as 720p video at 30 or 60 fps.
Additionally, you can also choose to record lower resolution WVGA formats when
smaller file sizes are needed. Video is recorded in the .MOV format using the
H.264 codec.
160°
Wide-Angle Lens
The built-in, fixed-focus lens
features an improved f/2 maximum aperture and has an ultra-wide 160° angle of
view to capture the entire scene in front of it. When an ultra-wide perspective
isn't what you're after, a step-zoom feature lets you select from five narrower
FOV options for tighter-framed shots.
High-Quality
Audio Recording
The Q4n supports high-quality
24-bit / 96 kHz stereo recording from its built-in mics or from an external
microphone connected via the 1/8" stereo jack (supports plug-in power).
You can record audio alongside video, or use the Q4n as a dedicated audio
recorder, with audio saved separately in either uncompressed WAV or compressed
AAC formats.
A/B
or X/Y Stereo Microphone Configuration
The wide 120° pop-up microphones
can be configured for either A/B or X/Y stereo recording. The microphones can
handle high sound pressure levels up to 140 dB SPL for distortion-free
recording, even in loud environments.
A/B Recording: Provides a realistic sense of space
and ambience; ideal when you want to capture the reverb of a concert hall, or
record the sound of people talking in different parts of a room.
X/Y Recording: Capture audio with natural depth
and width, while still delivering a strong center image. It's ideal for
recording musical performances and for video blogging.
Use
as a Webcam
Connect the Qn4 to your computer
via a USB cable to use it as a high-quality video and audio streaming webcam,
or as a USB microphone. The recorder can simultaneously transmit video of up to
720p and 16-bit / 48 kHz quality audio to the computer.
Lighting
Settings
Choose among ten different scene
presets for optimal results in various lighting conditions and environments.
Available presets: Auto, Concert Lighting, Night, Concert-Low Light, Dance
Club, Jazz Club, Concert Hall, Rehearsal-Studio, Garage, Outdoor, and Sunset.
Compatible
with 3-Prong Action Camera Mount
In addition to a 1/4"-20
threaded hole, the Zoom Q4n includes a 3-prong mount adapter, making it
compatible with a wide range of GoPro and other third-party action camera
mounts. Attach the camera to a mic stand, clamp it to a guitar, or place it
anywhere onstage or in the rehearsal room.
