Edit Z CAM E2-M4 H.265 in DaVinci Resolve
Z Cam has been building compact MFT 4K cine cameras and multi-lens VR cameras since 2019. Z CAM has introduced its latest E2 camera model, the E2-M4. A variant of the original E2, the Micro Four Thirds 4K camera is just as robust as the original at a much more affordable price. With the Z CAM, if you want to record in Apple ProRes, you’ll only be able to shoot at a max FPS of 60. So to shoot at anything faster, like the ideal 4K 120p, you’ll need to switch to h.265. The BMPCC4K can’t shoot at 4K 120p, so the E2-M4 has the upper hand here.
However, after recording some 4K 10bit videos with Z CAM E2-M4, more than one guys are stuck in the issue: the popular video editor like DaVinci Resolve 16, 15, 14, 13 definitely doesn’t use the 4K 10bit; it crashes and shuts down.
