Expressive images that highlight the subject

Top technology for vloggers

The ZV-E12's 12.1 MP full-frame sensor and the advanced BIONZ XR system offer high-speed processing for 4K 60p recording, with an upgrade option to 120p, while an AI processing unit enhances subject recognition for advanced vlog applications.

Exmor R full-frame CMOS sensor, back-illuminated

The ZV-E1 is Sony's first dedicated vlog camera with a 12.1 MP 35mm back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, offering 15+ stops of dynamic range, low noise, high sensitivity, and impressive full-frame background defocus (bokeh).

BIONZ XR image processing system

With up to 8 times more image processing power, the new BIONZ XR image processing system offers high sensitivity, accurate gradation rendering, color reproduction, and low noise performance.

AI processing unit

The ZV-E1 features an AI processing unit specifically for handling large volumes of data, offering broader and more accurate subject recognition.

Different images with different lenses

Thanks to Sony's E-mount system, the ZV-E1 can be used with all E-mount lenses, such as the G Master series for impressive resolution and top-tier background defocus (bokeh). The choice of focal lengths, from 12mm to 1200mm, offers complete control and creativity.

Smart cinematic vlog shooting settings

Create unforgettable images with S-Cinetone and other settings. By using the cinematic vlog shooting setting and selecting a look and mood, you can create cinematic vlog shots that match the scene and your creative purpose.

Rely on a dependable camera

5-axis stabilization, Dynamic Active Mode, framing stabilization.

A small precision stabilization unit, gyroscopic sensors, and optimized algorithms offer stabilization up to 5.0 steps. Dynamic Active Mode improves stability by up to 30% compared to previous versions, while framing stabilization automatically keeps the subject's position in the frame using Dynamic Active Mode and AI-based subject recognition.

AI-based auto framing for movies

The auto framing function with AI-based subject recognition automatically crops the frame so that the subject occupies a prominent position during movie shooting. Even if the camera is mounted on a tripod, the framing continuously adjusts.

Real-time Recognition AF

The innovative AI processing unit of the ZV-E1 uses subject shape data for precise motion recognition, enhancing human eye recognition. Human posture estimation technology detects the body and head to track subjects facing away from the lens or wearing a mask.

Slow and fast motion

For direct slow/fast motion movie playback, the maximum bit rate offers impressive image quality. When using the XAVC S format, 10x slow motion is possible in Full HD resolution, providing new perspectives in dynamic sports and other action genres.

Creative zoom control

The zoom lever on the top of the grip controls compatible power zoom lenses and allows for clear image zoom with manual zoom lenses.
