ZV-1
The ZV-1 is designed for content creation with a selfie-friendly vari-angle LCD screen, body grip, and a recording lamp. A directional 3-capsule mic with wind screen picks up your voice clearly with less wind noise; and the Bokeh switch and Product Showcase Setting make videos more interesting with less effort.
Fast and precise focus transitions The ZV-1's Fast Hybrid AF system lets you simply and quickly switch focus from a face to the background, for more stylistic and watchable videos.
Pro-quality bokeh control with one touch By just pushing the Bokeh switch, you can switch background bokeh on and off — no need for complex manual adjustments. Now it's easy to simply select a professional-looking defocused background, or keep the entire scene in focus, with just the press of a button. Product Showcase Setting, ideal for product review videos Product Showcase Setting allows you to switch with just a single button press to settings that are perfect for product reviews. It widens the angle of view and switches the focus to the object instantly, so you don't need to wait for the focus to shift or place your hand behind the product to shift the focus to it. Shoot great video, wherever you go The ZV-1 is built to get great shots while you're moving. With amazing image stabilization, you can shoot smooth video when walking, and as the light goes from shadow to sun or outdoors to in, the automatic exposure (AE) tracks faces and makes sure they always appear well-lit. Dynamic video through slow motion Make every movement more cinematic with Super Slow Motion video, capturing the most fleeting of moments for playback at up to 40x slower than real time. Time-lapse for that cinematic effect Interval shooting mode automatically captures sequences of images from 1–60 seconds apart which can be made into cinematic time-lapse videos on a PC, where clouds flow past like water and whole days pass in seconds. Take amazing pictures as well as video The ZV-1 has everything you need to capture images that really shine in your timeline and video thumbnails. The pin-sharp ZEISS® 24–70 mm lens focuses light to a large 1.0-type Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor, with it all coming together in the powerful BIONZ X™ image processor.
Express yourself with creative effects Picture Effects and Creative Styles allow for near-limitless visual possibilities — from simple monochrome and partial color effects, right through to complex miniature effects. Shoot then share easily There's no longer a need to compromise your images with your smartphone camera just to share content quickly. The ZV-1 delivers both stunning images and seamless connectivity, for better and easier posting. Built to vlog The ZV-1 design makes creating outstanding selfie and vlog content easy. Right down to the last detail, the ZV-1 is all about empowering you to make inspirational content. Know at a glance whether you're recording It's easy to know when you're recording with a clear recording lamp on the front of the camera and it’s easy to switch off if you prefer. You’ll never accidentally forget to hit the record button again. Optimized grip for selfies The deeper, shaped grip is more comfortable for conventional shooting, and offers a stable handhold to reduce fatigue for vlogging or selfie shots. Works with wireless control grips The ZV-1 is compatible with the Sony Bluetooth® wireless shooting grip GP-VPT2BT, which offers cable-free control of zoom, recording and more, and expands into a mini-tripod for stable hands-free shots. Shoot like a pro Carry professional-quality video along in your pocket, with stunning 4K HDR detail and powerful exposure tools for content guaranteed to impress.
