Features
Built for clear voice recording
With the ZV-1 II, capturing high quality audio is even easier. In [Auto] mode, the new built-in Intelligent 3-Capsule Mic switches
12
the direction of the built-in mic from [All Directions] to [Front] when the camera recognises a human face in the frame. Or you can switch manually to [Front] for selfies or [Rear] when shooting with narration. There’s also the option of attaching the supplied windscreen to reduce wind noise and capture clearer audio outdoors. Stand out with just a tap
The ZV-1 II is designed for easier content creation. Just tap to activate the Product Showcase Setting and the camera will automatically focus on the product you’re holding with no additional gestures needed. Or use Bokeh Switch to get a softly blurred background — simply select [Defocus] to make the subject stand out, or [Clear] to keep the entire image in focus.
Always know when you’re recording
Say goodbye to accidentally missing the action. When you press the MOVIE button or the record icon on the LCD screen, the recording lamp glows red and a red frame appears on the screen, letting you know instantly that you’re capturing what counts. The rotatable screen means you can also track recording while shooting from any angle.
Selfies made simple
Let the ZV-1 II do the work for you to capture great group moments. When taking selfies in iAUTO mode with two or three people, the camera automatically adjusts the setting to keep everyone’s faces sharp and clear
17
. Simple, intuitive control
Even first-time camera users and vloggers can jump straight into shooting with the ZV-1 II; there’s no need to study complex settings. Touch function items, such as recording, self-timer and the Product Showcase Setting, are displayed on the main screen and are easily adjustable. This is also great for shooting selfies or other situations when you can’t reach the physical buttons on the camera.
Effortlessly portable
Small and lightweight, the camera is designed to be taken out anywhere — just like your smartphone. Weighing just 292 g
16
, capture everyday life with ease and grab content on the go. Built-in ND filter
The ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 18-50mm
15
F1.8-4 zoom lens is specifically designed for vlogging on the go. It has a built-in neutral density (ND) filter to control light exposure by three stops, to give images greater expressiveness in bright light. The lens maintains sharpness throughout the zoom range, allowing you to take capture all the shots you need to bring your vlog to life. Grows with your creativity
With the ZV-1 II, it’s easy to take the next steps towards boosting your videography skills. Just like professional Cinema Line or α series cameras, the ZV-1 II supports S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine picture profiles, allowing you to maximise your captured dynamic range and giving you even greater flexibility for post-production.
Vast range of audio options
Raise your audio quality even further by connecting external microphones. For example, the ECM-G1
13
compact shotgun microphone clearly captures sound in front of the camera and can be seamlessly attached without a cable. Or take your pick from Sony’s extensive line-up of microphones, designed to suit a broad range of applications and enable you to take your vlog to the next level 14
. Select the best scene
Only transfer the scenes you need, saving time and smartphone storage space. By adding a Shot Mark while shooting or replaying a video, you can cut out a 15-, 30-, or 60-second
18
clip to send straight to your smartphone 19
. Shot Marks also allow you to later easily find the scenes you want to use, cutting down on time searching through footage. Powerful image stabilisation
Shaky footage can ruin the best of vlogs, but the ZV-1 II is built to let you capture great footage even while you’re walking and shooting handheld. Active Mode
11
helps to minimise camera blur, giving you steadier shots without the need for any post-shoot editing. Always look your best
Look your best any time you're shooting. Without any special settings, the ZV-1 II will accurately capture your skin tone, ensuring a healthy and natural look. Face Priority AE will automatically brighten your face so there's no need to worry about lighting either. There's also a Soft Skin Effect selectable to OFF/ Low/ Mid /High to adjust your skin smoothness.
Accurate autofocus
The ZV-1 II automatically makes sure you always stay in focus. It recognises human faces and eyes, so it keeps track of the main subject without wandering off onto other subjects. The Eye AF feature can even be set to track animal faces and eyes.
Real-time Tracking
Focus on what you want. Activate Real-time Tracking to follow a subject of your choice. The camera recognises colours, brightness, and subject distance, as well as facial information to keep track of the subject so you can concentrate on grabbing the best angles. Just tap the subject on the screen to activate Touch Tracking for precise focus tracking.
Impressive image quality
The ZV-1 II’s compact body is equipped with a large 1.0-type Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor developed by Sony. This stacked image sensor also includes a DRAM memory chip for ultra-fast data processing of the approximately 20.1 effective megapixels. It all adds up to supremely high-resolution and high-sensitivity imaging that far exceeds that of a typical smartphone.
Shoot like a pro
The ZV-1 II is both compact and lightweight, but there’s no compromise on image quality. Its large 1.0-type image sensor means it can capture professional-level footage, shooting in XAVC S format in 4K resolution at up to 30p or, for expressive slow motion, up to 120p
8
in Full HD resolution. It also supports simultaneous proxy recording 9
for efficient post-production workflows. Give your vlog a dramatic touch
Skip post-production editing — just tap the screen to turn everyday moments into cinematic imagery. With the Cinematic Vlog Setting
5
, the camera automatically shoots in a Cinemascope aspect ratio 6
at 24 fps 7
— the film industry standard. Then, you can add the perfect touch of colour to your footage simply by selecting from five LOOKs and four MOODs for instant, professional results. Use AF Transition Speeds to choose from three levels of focusing speed, allowing you to bring your subject into focus at the perfect pace for adding some drama. Creative colours
No experience is needed to make an impressive vlog with all the right visuals from the outset. My Image Style
4
lets you simply tweak brightness and colour while viewing what you plan to shoot — all without having to wade through menus. For shots with more creative colour and mood, Creative Look offers ten presets so simply select one that matches your vision. Versatile framing
From selfies and portraits to landscapes and snapshots, the vlog camera ZV-1 II lets you frame your shots exactly how you want, thanks to its wide-angle zoom lens. 18 mm
2
is great for selfies, while 50 mm 3
is ideal for portraits and snapshots. What’s more, the maximum apertures of F1.8 with the wide-angle and F4 with the telephoto give a smooth background bokeh, adding all the atmosphere you need. Enhanced accessibility with screen reader
The screen reader function enables text on menu screens to be read aloud. It’s easy to activate by navigating to the [Setup] tab and turning the [Screen Reader] function ON. Screen reader volume can be adjusted via the [Sound Options] settings.
