ZV-E1 Camera Kit

Intuitive Creativity: Expressive Imagery that Emphasizes the Subject
The ZV-E1 empowers vloggers with cutting-edge technology. By working with its 12.1 MP full-frame sensor, paired with the latest BIONZ XR™ engine, the camera delivers high-speed processing to support 4K 60p and 120p upgradable recording.

Additionally, the AI processing unit enhances subject-recognition capabilities, taking vlogging applications to the next level.

Full-frame, Back-illuminated CMOS Exmor R™ Sensor
As Sony’s first dedicated vlog camera featuring a 12.1 MP back-illuminated 35mm CMOS image sensor, the ZV-E1 ensures 15+ stops of latitude, low noise, high sensitivity, and beautiful full-frame bokeh.

BIONZ XR Image Processing Engine
The new BIONZ XR engine increases processing power by up to 8x, enhancing high sensitivity, precise gradation rendering, and color reproduction. This leads to low-noise performance even in challenging conditions.

AI Processing Unit
Equipped with an AI processing unit, the ZV-E1 efficiently processes large data sets to improve subject recognition, ensuring more accurate tracking.

Sony’s E-mount System
The ZV-E1 features Sony’s E-mount system, giving you the flexibility to work with a wide range of lenses. You can use lenses from the G Master series, known for their exceptional resolution and world-class bokeh. With focal lengths ranging from 12 mm to 1200 mm, you gain outstanding creative control.

Intuitive Cinematic Vlog Setting
Create cinematic vlog footage by using the Cinematic Vlog Setting. Select a Look and Mood to match the scene and your vision. A 24 fps frame rate, coupled with a widescreen Cinemascope aspect ratio (2.35:1), enhances the overall cinematic feel.

Stable Camera Work
The ZV-E1 integrates 5-axis in-body image stabilization, dynamic active mode, and the Framing Stabilizer. These features work together to achieve up to 5.0-step stabilization.

Dynamic Active Mode boosts stability by up to 30% compared to previous models, while the Framing Stabilizer uses AI-based subject recognition to automatically maintain your subject’s position in the frame.

AI-based Auto Framing for Movies
Thanks to AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically adjusts the frame to keep the subject in focus. Whether the camera is mounted on a tripod or handheld, framing adjusts to make it appear as though an experienced camera operator is following the subject.

Real-time Recognition AF
Human pose estimation technology enhances the ZV-E1’s ability to track human eye movements by approximately 60%. The camera can recognize body and head position, even if the subject faces away or wears a mask.

Slow and Quick Motion
Capture high-quality slow-motion and quick-motion footage with ease. The ZV-E1 supports S&Q mode, delivering superhuman detail. The XAVC S-I format at 60p provides a bit rate of 600 Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, H.264, All-I).

Additionally, with the XAVC S format, users can achieve up to 10x slow motion at 240 fps with Full HD resolution, perfect for capturing dynamic sports or action shots.

Creative Zoom Control
Use the zoom lever atop the grip to control compatible powered zoom lenses. The lever also enables Clear Image Zoom for unpowered zoom and prime lenses, helping reduce the number of lenses needed during shoots.

Record Your Main Subject’s Voice Clearly, No Matter the Setting
The Intelligent 3 Capsule Microphone captures crisp audio, particularly the voice of the main subject. Depending on the environment, you can adjust the microphone’s directivity to Front, Rear, All Directions, or Auto.

Details Make the Difference: 10-bit 4:2:2 In-Camera Recording
The ZV-E1 supports 10-bit 4:2:2 video recording internally, enabling better color grading for natural gradations. This enhances editing flexibility and provides more creative control.

S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 and S-Gamut3/S-Log3
The S-Log3 setting improves shadow-to-mid-tone gradation. Choose from S-Gamut3 for superior color reproduction or S-Gamut3.Cine for a look that resembles scanned cinema film.

Import and Use Custom LUT Files
You can import user LUT files (.cube format) and assign them to picture profiles to create a specific look, recorded directly in-camera to minimize post-processing adjustments.

Flexible ISO for Greater Exposure Setting Freedom
Flexible ISO in S-Log3 mode adapts ISO sensitivity to match scene brightness, with manual control over aperture and shutter speed. ISO can range from 640 to 102400, and even up to 409600 in expanded ISO mode.

Compact, Lightweight, and Intuitive Control: The World’s Smallest, Lightest Full-frame Interchangeable Lens Vlog Camera
As the world’s most compact full-frame vlog camera, the ZV-E1 is ideal for handheld shooting or mounting on gimbals and drones.
