What is Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera?

The Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera is a compact camera designed for vlogging and content creators. It features a 20MP 1-inch Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor and a wide 24mm- 70mm ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* lens, allowing you to capture stunning stills and videos even in low light.

What is the difference between the ZV-1 and the RX100?

The ZV-1 is designed to be compact and lightweight, and it is meant to represent a more affordable version of the RX100. The ZV-1 features a wider 24mm lens and a microphone jack, compared to the RX100's much more limited 28-70mm lens and lack of built-in mic jack. The ZV-1 also contains features like background bokeh switch and product show mode, which are not available in the RX100.

What video formats does the ZV-1 camera support?

The ZV-1 supports several video formats including XAVC S, AVCHD, and MP4. It records up to 4K UHD 30fps, and burst shooting and recording are also available.

What effects does the ZV-1 camera contain?

The ZV-1 contains several effects such as Soft Skin Effect, Background Bokeh Switch, Product Show Mode, and Real-Time Eye-AF. These effects allow you to capture stunning photos and videos with ease.

The Black Sony ZV-1 Camera - Black intelligent autofocus locks on every time, so you won’t miss capturing moments when they strike.

Vari-angle LCD screen, for selfie shooting with confidence

The flip-out LCD screen lets you check your framing for vlogs and selfies without the view being restricted by accessories like microphones. The touch panel control makes intuitive adjustment of focus, shutter and other settings simple, even during selfie shooting.

Directional 3-capsule mic and a bundled windscreen

Record your voice, even in a crowd, with the built-in three capsule microphone. The unique design and structure use spatial filtering to capture clear audio in front of the camera with fewer distracting ambient sounds. The included windscreen can also be attached to shoot outdoors, even in windy conditions, with confidence

Beautiful and natural skin tones for everyone

Sony’s enhanced colour science ensures lively, natural imagery and is especially strong across the diverse range of skin tones. It is available for both movie and still image capture, and is supported with a Soft Skin option to smooth blemishes.

High image quality and easily advanced effects

Despite its pocket-friendly design, the ZV-1 is equipped with a large 1.0-type Exmor RSTM CMOS sensor, for high-quality images even in dim or challenging lighting conditions. In addition, the large sensor delivers professional-looking images, with a blurred background bokeh, along with high-speed data readout for stunning 4K and super slow-motion video capture

Leave the focusing work to the camera with Real-time Tracking

Just turn your face to the camera, and the camera will recognise colour, patterns (brightness), subject distance (depth) and face/eye information and automatically snap into precise focus tracking. In addition, when the camera recognises eyes, faces, or subjects, a frame is displayed on each target so you can make sure that the subject is in focus and shoot without worrying.

Beautiful defocused background bokeh, with ease

Capture expressive selfies with the professional look of a soft-focus background. The unique Bokeh Switch (C1 button) bypasses all the complexity of exposure balancing and depth-of-field control and replaces it with a single button. Simply press to switch between having everything in focus, or blurring the background to expertly feature your subject.

Make your reviews stand out with Product Showcase Setting

Take your product reviews to a new level of professionalism with the Product Showcase Setting, for fast and precise focus transitions from you to your featured product. The C2 custom button activates Product Showcase Setting by default, deprioritising your face for focusing and widening the field of view. Simply holding a product up in front of the camera will switch the focus point from your face, so there’s no more autofocus frustration and you can efficiently shoot video reviews with ease.

Smart auto-exposure (AE) transitions, optimised for faces

The kind of erratic, in-the-moment, shooting that makes for compelling vlogging also presents a huge challenge for most cameras. The ZV-1’s clever AE transition algorithm, however, makes rapid exposure adjustments even as lighting conditions change dramatically, through shadow and sunlight, indoors and out. And by prioritising faces, ensures your video subjects always look their best, even when the lighting is far from ideal.

Dynamic super slow motion

Capture moments from the decisive to every day in epic super slow motion to easily add drama and magic to your videos. With recording frame rates as high as 960fps, almost any moment can be captured, while adjustable playback rates let you slow down the action anywhere from 4x to 40x.

Time-lapse adds cinematic expression to the passage of time

The ZV-1 features an interval shooting mode ideal for creating cinematic time-lapse movies with the aid of our Imaging EdgeTM Desktop PC software. The adjustable shooting interval (from 1–60 seconds) and full manual camera control allow spectacular shots of flowing clouds, streaming headlights and more, across up to 9,999 shots. Add a mobile battery, thanks to the convenient USB power input, and you can capture scenes worry-free for hours at a time.

Capture high-quality still images thanks to the 1.0-type Exmor

RS CMOS sensor and ZEISS 24-70mm20 lens. The large sensor and wide f/1.8-2.8 aperture lens, along with the latest-generation BIONZ X processor, deliver professional-quality images—with exceptional performance even in low light, and stunning background bokeh for portraits.

Send videos to your smartphone anywhere with Imaging Edge Mobile

You shouldn’t need to wait until you’re in front of your PC to share your video and stills with the world. Imaging Edge Mobile, free for Android and iOS devices, lets you remotely view and control your ZV-1, and wirelessly back up and transfer images to your smartphone even with the camera turned off. With Imaging Edge Mobile your images can be shared from anywhere, without needing to suffer the compromised image quality of your phone camera.

Movie Edit add-on trims movies and extends image stabilisation

Get your shots on social media ready right in the field with the Movie Edit add-on. Available free for iOS and Android devices alongside Imaging Edge Mobile, this simple app lets you edit your videos, and crop their aspect ratio to suit a range of social platforms—with the automatic reframing of your subject. An enhanced image stabilisation tool also further suppresses any shake from your videos, for butter-smooth motion.

Intuitive touch operation

The ZV-1’s touch screen makes the selection of focus and tracking points, as well as other settings simple, even with the display flipped for selfies and vlogging—no more fumbling behind the camera for dials and navigation sticks.

Support for professional movie-recording workflows

For more demanding productions, the ZV-1 supports a range of movie functions more typically found in professional equipment, including S-Log3 and S-Log2 gamma curves. The wide dynamic range available using these S-Log profiles is perfect for camera matching and minimising blown-out highlights or lost shadow detail. Additional options for Picture Profile and Creative Style are also available, along with advanced features like Gamma Display Assist, Zebra metering, a Clean HDMI output with Rec Control, timecode, and Proxy recording. There's everything a video professional could need in day-to-day work situations.

Built-in ND filters for precise exposure control

A built-in neutral-density filter ensures your exposure is always optimal, without throwing out any of the creative intentions in your shutter angle or F-stop. A staple in all professional video environments, the adjustable ND filter lets you capture blurred motion and expressive bokeh, where it would otherwise be impossible, such as in daylight conditions up to EV1925
