Elevate Your Vlogging

Whilst the ZV-1F is designed for a simplified user experience, it does so without compromising on the all-important specs. With the ZV-1F, vloggers can really elevate their content, capturing shots in 4K resolution on a 2.5x larger sensor than those commonly found on smartphones. Combined with 20.1 effective megapixels, the ZV-1F is well equipped to provide high-clarity, detail-rich results that will really impress any audience.

Further reinforcing the ZV-1F as a high-end vlogging camera are the premium optics. The 20mm ultra-wide lens fits incredible amounts of detail into the frame and can focus on subjects as close as 5cm away. The lens is constructed using 6 elements in 6 groups, has a wide maximum aperture of f2.0, and a 7-blade aperture diaphragm - a combination designed for consistently high-quality content whatever the environment.

Effortless Operation

The ZV-1F is one of the most user-friendly vlogging cameras on the market. Whilst it embodies the high-end tech necessary to improve imaging quality, it eliminates the need for tricky parameter settings, putting the power back in the hands of those with a creative vision. The most notable quick and intuitive features include a touch-capable flip screen, comprehensive autofocus abilities, product showcase and soft skin settings, a bokeh switch and active mode with SteadyShot.

The 3.0 type 921k dot vari-angle screen has been designed to make monitoring and navigating even easier. Benefitting from simple swipe access to frequent settings and touch buttons that provide everything you need for recording on one screen, the ZV-1F is just as simple as a smartphone. Achieving a beautifully defocused background is as simple as flicking a switch and softer skin is available at the touch of a button - so you can share your best content yet without spending time learning the ins and outs of aperture.

Get Connected

The ZV-1F is designed for users to fill the world with emotion through the power of creativity and technology. Whether you’re a travel vlogger on YouTube or a gamer streaming on Twitch, this camera makes sharing your content with the world easier than ever before. Users can pair their camera seamlessly with their smartphone using Bluetooth connectivity and the Imaging Edge Mobile + app to transfer high-quality clips in just seconds.

Once downloaded, the dedicated app has the ability to automatically trim shot marks, making content that’s ready for sharing on all your social channels. And, for those that prefer to share the whole picture with their audience, the ZV-1F can be plugged into a computer to double as a webcam for high-quality livestreaming.

A Step Towards Sustainability

As part of Sony’s Road to Zero program with a focus on achieving a zero environmental footprint throughout the life cycle of their products, the ZV-1F takes another step towards a more sustainable future. As part of this environmental plan, the ZV-1F body features elements that are built entirely from recycled plastics, utilising everything from SORPLAS to windscreen fibres made from recycled polyester and even water-based paint to reduce volatile organic compounds.

Reinforcing this level of commitment to the environment is the ZV-1F packaging. Not only is the box made from recycled cardboard, but the bags used to wrap the camera are also constructed using plant-based non-woven fabrics - this is an incredible step in the right direction for large manufacturers.
