Sony ZV-1 Digital Camera (Black)

Sony ZV-1 Overview

The Sony ZV-1 is a compact and powerful vlogging camera designed specifically for content creators. Combining the acclaimed imaging technology of the RX100 series with a creator-focused design, the ZV-1 offers everything you need to produce high-quality videos and photos with ease.

Its 20.1MP 1” Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor, paired with the BIONZ X processor and front-end LSI, delivers fast, high-resolution imaging with excellent low-light performance. The camera records UHD 4K video at 30p, supports advanced color profiles like S-Log3/2 and HLG, and features Real-Time Eye AF and Real-Time Tracking for accurate focus on faces and moving subjects.

Built for vlogging, the ZV-1 features a side flip-out 3.0” touchscreen LCD, a directional 3-capsule mic with included windscreen, and dedicated functions like Product Showcase, Soft Skin Effect, Background Defocus, and Face Priority AE. A large REC button, tally lamp, and comfortable grip make one-handed operation seamless.

Stabilization is handled by Active SteadyShot, providing smooth handheld footage even while walking. The built-in ZEISS 24-70mm equivalent f/1.8–2.8 lens delivers sharp results with a wide aperture for natural bokeh, while a built-in ND filter enables shallow depth-of-field even in bright light.
