Vlog Camera ZV-1 II

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 mm¹ is great for selfies, while 50 mm¹ 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.

Creative colors

No experience is needed to make an impressive vlog with all the right visuals from the outset. My Image Style² lets you simply tweak brightness and color while viewing what you plan to shoot-all without having to wade through menus. For shots with more creative color and mood, Creative Look offers 10 presets so simply select one that matches your vision.

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 Setting³, the camera automatically shoots in a Cinemascope aspect ratio⁴ at 24 fps⁵-the film industry standard. Then, you can add the perfect touch of color 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.

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 120p⁶ in Full HD resolution. It also supports simultaneous proxy recording⁷ for efficient post-production workflows.

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.

Real-time Tracking

Focus on what you want. Activate Real-time Tracking to follow a subject of your choice. The camera recognizes colors, 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.

Accurate autofocus

The ZV-1 II automatically makes sure you always stay in focus. It recognizes 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.

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.

Powerful image stabilization⁸

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 Mode⁸ helps to minimize camera blur, giving you steadier shots without the need for any post-shoot editing.

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 switches⁹ the direction of the built-in mic from [All Directions] to [Front] when the camera recognizes 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.

Vast range of audio options

Raise your audio quality even further by connecting external microphones. For example, the ECM-G1¹⁰ 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 level¹¹.

Grows with your creativity

With the ZV-1 II, it's easy to take the next steps toward 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 maximize your captured dynamic range and giving you even greater flexibility for post-production.

Built-in ND filter

The ZEISS^® Vario-Sonnar T* 18–50 mm¹ 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.

Effortlessly portable

Small and lightweight, the camera is designed to be taken out anywhere-just like your smartphone. Weighing just 10.3 oz¹², capture everyday life with ease and grab content on the go.

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.

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 clear¹³.

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.

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.

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-second¹⁴ clip to send straight to your smartphone¹⁵. Shot Marks also allow you to later easily find the scenes you want to use, cutting down on time searching through footage.

Simple smartphone connection

Connecting your camera and your smartphone has never been easier thanks to the Creators' App mobile application¹⁶. Data transfers continue in the background even if the smartphone display sleeps or a different app is launched¹⁷. You can also turn your smartphone or PC into a remote control to operate the camera from a distance.

Simple streaming

Transform the ZV-1 II into a high-quality web camera by simply connecting a compatible device via USB¹⁸. The large 1.0-type image sensor and Creative Look function ensure vibrant visuals.

Sony production support

Log in to the Creators' Cloud to make the most of Sony production support tools. This gives you access to cloud services like Master Cut (Beta)¹⁹, which uses camera metadata and cloud AI to efficiently create rough movie edits, saving you valuable time. Or use Ci Media Cloud¹⁹ to make team collaboration on production simpler and smoother.

Reducing our environmental footprint

From packaging to materials used for the camera and supplied wind screen, we have launched several initiatives to reduce our environment footprint.^{20, 21}.

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.
