Audio is recorded up to 96 kHz/24-bit, 16-bit WAV. 48 kHz/24-bit, 16-bit and 44.1 kHz/24-bit. The Zoom Q8n-4K offers more advanced audio filters that you can find out about here.

As it turns out, Zoom has a whole ‘Q’ family of video-capable products, so my outburst only betrayed my ignorance. The Zoom Q8n-4K is one such all-in-one gadget that wears enough hats to make it a content creator’s dream. It can record 4K video, four channels of audio, including two XLR inputs, or act as a webcam or USB audio device. Zoom’s slogan – ‘We’re for creators’ – couldn’t be manifested more perfectly in a product. LOOK AROUND habe diese "Kamera" nun seit einigen Tagen viel getestet. Als Fazit kann ich nur sagen, wer viel Wert auf Sound legt, und fast keinen Wert auf das Bild ist hier perfekt bedient. Der Sound ist ohne externe Mikros schon sehr gut und durch die direkten XLR Anschlüsse wirklich praktisch, da man Bild und Sound direkt synchron hat und nicht lange im Nachgang bearbeiten muss. As you can see, the video specs are a bit underwhelming here, but that’s OK (depending on your scenario, of course), we’re dealing with a device from Zoom, so let’s talk audio! Audio specs

Price & Availability

The camera on the Q8n-4K uses a 1/2.3″ 16MP CMOS Sensor and a F2.8 / wide-angle 150° lens. There is 5 types of scene settings (Auto / Indoor / Outdoor / Night / Concert Light) that you can choose from and 3 levels of brightness adjustment. In terms of form factor it looks like a small sized consumer handycam with an audio module on top. It weighs in at 367g / 12.94 oz including the battery. When it comes to in-camera image adjustments and presets on the Q8n-4K, there are a few. The camera features just a few brightness adjustments: bright, normal and dark. These lighting presents are accessible through the camera’s BRIGHT button placed on the right side of the LCD screen. Essentially, these modes digitally brighten or darken the image. You can’t customize these modes, so they’re only useful in specific situations. Sometimes, they will work, and sometimes they won’t — you can’t customize the boost in brightness levels to your particular shooting situation. Webcam and USB mic function for use with external devices such as computers and iPads (Apple Camera Connection Kit required)

types of effects that enhance recording quality (Limiter / Compressor / Leveler / DeEsser / NoiseGate) Battery-powered for 1 hour and 20 minutes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (when shooting at 4K / 30fps)The Zoom Q8n-4K 2-inch LCD screen comes with some good and some bad. Starting with the good, we like that the screen can flip out. This feature makes the camera very friendly for livestreamers. Also, the screen’s quality is good enough to help when framing the shot. Unfortunately, the screen’s resolution is just 320 x 240. You don’t have to get too close to the screen to start seeing its pixels. We would have liked to see a screen with at least 1280 x 720 pixels (720p HD). When you want to preview video on a bigger screen the micro HDMI output has you sorted. Frame rate options are 24/25/30fps. FINAL THOUGHTS Egal wie man ausleuchtet, man bekommt mit bester Ausleuchtung und ohne dunkle Bereiche höchstens ein akzeptables Video hin, sobald aber die Ausleuchtung nur ein bisschen schlechter ist geht steil bergab.
