Cutting-edge technology for vloggers

Working with the ZV-E1’s 12.1 MP full-frame sensor, the latest BIONZ XR engine provides high-speed processing to support 4K 60p, 120p upgradable recording, while an AI processing unit improves subject-recognition capabilities for advanced vlogging applications.

The ZV-E1 is Sony’s first dedicated vlog camera with a 12.1 MP back-illuminated (BSI) 35mm CMOS image sensor, delivering 15+ stops of latitude, low noise, high sensitivity, and gorgeous full-frame bokeh.

With up to 8x more processing power, the new BIONZ XR image-processing engine boosts high sensitivity, precise gradation rendering and colour reproduction, and low-noise performance.

The ZV-E1 is equipped with an AI processing unit specifically dedicated to processing significant amounts of data to enable wider and more-accurate subject recognition.

5-axis in-body image stabilization, Dynamic active Mode and Framing Stabilizer

A compact, precision-stabilization unit and gyro sensors plus optimized algorithms achieve up to 5.0-step stabilization. Dynamic active Mode further improves stability by up to 30% compared to previously, while the Framing Stabilizer automatically maintains the subject’s position in the frame, using Dynamic active Mode and AI-based subject recognition.

AI-based Auto Framing for movies

Using AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically crops the frame to keep the subject in a prominent position when shooting movies. Even though the camera is mounted on a tripod, framing is continually adjusted so that recorded footage looks like the subject was being followed by an experienced camera operator.

Slow and Quick Motion

When directly replaying movies in slow or quick motion in S&Q mode while using the XAVC S-I format at 60p, a maximum bit rate of 600 Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, H.264, All-I) delivers outstanding image quality. When using the XAVC S format, up to 10x slow motion with Full HD resolution is possible at 240 fps (24p recording), providing fresh perspectives on dynamic sports and other types of action.

Creative zoom control

The zoom lever on top of the grip controls compatible powered zoom lenses and also enables Clear Image Zoom for unpowered zoom and prime lenses, which can reduce the number of lenses required for a shoot.

Record your main subject’s voice clearly, whatever the setting

The Intelligent 3 Capsule Microphone captures clear audio, including the voice of your main subject. Depending on your shoot, you can set the microphone’s directivity to Front, Rear, All Directions or Auto.

This kit includes the Sony E-mount FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 lens.
