FEATURES:

Background bokeh for a professional touch – The large 1.0-type CMOS sensor and wide-aperture lens deliver images with professional background bokeh, as well as clear detail even in challenging low-light conditions.

Let the camera catch your eye – With AI technology you can rely on the autofocus sticking firmly to your face and eyes without wandering to other subjects. When you want to focus on another subject, just touch it on the screen and let the camera do the focusing.

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.

Designed for even better audio – You can capture clear vocals even when shooting in a crowd. The camera’s unique directional three-capsule mic gathers clear sound from in front of the camera, ideal for movie shooting. 

Wind screen for outdoor shooting – The supplied wind screen reduces wind noise for worry-free outdoor shooting. As well as achieving premium sound quality, that also means you’ll spend less time re-shooting and editing footage affected by wind noise.

Use your favorite mic for the sound you want – With a microphone jack and MI shoe, you can pick from your choice of mics to get exactly the sound you want.

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 mode4 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 mm5 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.

Instantly transfer movies to your smartphone – The free Imaging EdgeTM Mobile app for iOS and Android6 lets you simply transfer, edit and upload images shot on the ZV-1 instantly to social media platforms, from wherever you are.

A perfect fit for any platform – Use the Movie Edit add-on to apply enhanced stabilization for especially shaky shots, or reframe and crop video to suit popular social-media aspect ratios.

Easily shoot vertical-position movies for mobile – With automatic tagging of vertically oriented videos, you can upload content custom-made for smartphone screens

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 GV-VPT2BT, which offers cable-free control of zoom, recording and more, and expands into a mini-tripod for stable hands-free shots.

Professional 4K11 HDR12 movie functions – The ZV-1 records immensely detailed 4K HDR video through 1.7x pixel resampling so you can capture reality without any compromise.

S-Log gamma for professional workflows – S-Log2 and S-Log3 gamma controls are available for camera matching and flexibility in color grading, along with a range of picture profile settings to create your perfect aesthetic

Built-in ND filter – A Neutral Density (ND) filter opens creative possibilities via video exposure control, enhancing depth-of-field and enabling magical slow-shutter portrayal of water, light, and motion.
