Sony ZV-1F Camera for Content Creators and Vloggers - White

About: Sony ZV-1F Camera for Content Creators and Vloggers - White

The Sony ZV-1F is designed as your first vlogging camera with a selfie-friendly ultra-wide-angle 20 mm1 lens, body grip and a recording lamp. A directional 3-capsule mic with wind screen picks up your voice clearly with less wind noise; and the Bokeh switch and Product Showcase Setting help you effortlessly make videos more visually interesting.

• Ultra-wide-angle 20 mm prime lens, ideal for group selfies and background scenery
• Vari-angle LCD for selfies
• 425 contrast-detection AF frame points for high-precision focusing
• Wind screen for Clear Voice Recording outdoors
• Built-in Directional 3-Capsule Mic for high-quality audio

Fit everything in frame

With the ZV-1F, you can truly capture it all - it allows you to snap a group selfie along with an expansive view of the background scenery. Since the camera's ultra-wide-angle 20mm lens captures a wider field of view than the human visual field, you can take images with eye-popping depth and perspective, even in narrow spaces, both indoors and outdoors.

Beautiful skin tones for everyone

Look your best any time you're shooting. Without any special settings, the ZV-1F will accurately capture your skin tone, ensuring you a healthy and natural look. There's also a Soft Skin Effect selectable to OFF/ Low/ Mid/ High to adjust your skin smoothness.

Sharp autofocus, bright face

Using Eye AF, the camera automatically recognizes human faces and eyes, making sure you stay in focus in front of the lens. Switching the focus to another subject is easy - just touch the screen. There's no need to worry about lighting either, as Face Priority AE (autoexposure) will automatically brighten your face.

Easy bokeh at the push of a button

Get beautiful defocused backgrounds like a pro, with just a press of the Bokeh Switch. The camera’s large 1-inch (1.0-lype) image sensor and wide F2.0 aperture lens allows for true optical bokeh. Select (Defocus) to make the main subject stand out against the defocused background bokeh, or (Clear) to keep the entire image in focus.

Impressive colors to match your style

Capture beautiful images to match your personal stye. Chose form one of 10 available Creative Style presets for pro-level footage - without worrying about complicated editing. Creative Styles can instantly enhance contrast, highlights, shadows, fade, saturation, sharpness and clarity.

Keep your subjects in focus

High-precision focusing makes sure your subject stays razor-sharp. The 425 contrast- detection AF points are arranged to cover a wide area of the captured image. What’s more, Eye AF track faces without getting diverted by other subjects.

Capture the details, even in dim light

Thanks to its 20.1 million pixel Exmor RS 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with integral memory, the ZV-1F can capture clear video with little noise even when shooting in dimly lit locations. While shooting in Intelligent Auto mode, you can now shoot video with the background blurred to the maximum possible extent, allowing the main subject to be captured more clearly and giving your videos extra impact.

Touch-controlled step zoom

With just a touch of the LCD panel, you can easily zoom in to the view of your preference. You can select from 1.0x/1.5x/2.0x/4.0x to quickly change the angle of view to make sure you capture your best side.

Start the shoot with a timer

From dance videos to action shots, the ZV-1F lets you start shooting when you’re ready without a panic. The large self-timer countdown appears in the centre of the screen so you can clearly see when it’s time to begin.

Shoot for longer with a USB-chargeable battery

With the ZV-1F, you can enjoy shooting on the go without worrying about running out of battery power. The camera can be charged via its USB Type-C port, as well as from a mobile battery, giving you plenty of options for powering on through a shoot.

Dedicated media for worry-free shooting

Capture it all without worrying about running out of storage space on your smartphone. The ZV-1F can record to removable SD or SDXC media, giving you the freedom to shoot as much as you want.
