This 2½-hour video is the most comprehensive guide anywhere to the Z CAM E2C's menus and features, including test footage, and rigging advice. Since the E2C is nearly identical to the whole Z CAM E2 line-up, you can learn about their other cameras here too.  For your convenience, the below index breaks this video down into organized sections, taking you directly to a discrete explanation of whatever menu page or feature you're interested in. On desktop computers, just click the timecode link, and this video will start playing at that spot.
