Features for top-notch vlogging

Capture everything in pictures
The ZV-1 II Vlog Camera lets you capture everything from group selfies to endless cityscapes. The 18mm wide-angle lens captures a wider field of view than the human eye, allowing you to capture anything and everything. Whether indoors or outdoors, the wide-angle lens transforms everyday scenes into dynamic shots.

Versatile recording options
With the ZV-1 II, you can frame your subject however you like thanks to the wide-angle zoom lens. 18 mm is ideal for selfies and 50 mm for portraits and snapshots. In addition, the maximum apertures of F1.8 at wide angle and F4 at telephoto ensure a soft background bokeh and the right atmosphere.

Creative Colors
No experience is needed to create an impressive vlog with the right images. With My Image Style, you can easily adjust brightness and color when planning your recording – without having to struggle through menus. For creative colors and moods, Creative Look offers ten presets – to suit your ideas.

More dramatic touch
Simply tap the screen to transform everyday moments into cinematic images – no editing required. With the cinematic vlog setting, the camera automatically records in Cinemascope aspect ratio at 24 fps – the film industry standard. You can also change the color of your recordings by simply choosing from five “looks” and four “moods” for instant professional results.

Integrated microphone for clear voice recordings
In Auto mode, the new built-in 3-capsule intelligent microphone6 switches the direction from [All directions] to [Front] when the camera detects a human face in the frame. You can also manually switch to [Front] for selfies or [Rear] for recording with narration. To reduce wind noise and record clearer audio outdoors, attach the supplied wind screen.

Compact and user-friendly

Effortlessly portable
The ZV-1 II vlog camera is small and lightweight, making it ideal for taking on the go – just like a smartphone. At just 292 g, you can capture everyday life anytime, anywhere.

Simple, intuitive operation
The ZV-1 II is also suitable for vlogging beginners. No complicated settings are required. Touch icons such as recording and self-timer are displayed on the screen for easy control. These are also suitable for selfies or other situations where the buttons on the camera are out of reach.

You in focus
With Touch Tracking, the ZV-1 II focuses automatically. It detects human faces and eyes and keeps the main subject in focus without changing. To activate, simply tap the subject on the screen. Eye AF can also be set to detect animals.

Responsible Data Use

Facial recognition uses biometric data. You are responsible for how you collect and use this data and for doing so in accordance with the law. For more information, please see the following webpage.

Powerful image stabilization
Shaky footage can ruin the best vlogs, but the ZV-1 II is designed to let you capture great footage even when walking or shooting handheld. Active Mode minimizes camera shake and ensures steady footage without the need for post-processing.

With just one tip in the center
The ZV-1 II is designed to make content creation easier. In the product presentation setting, the camera automatically focuses on the product in your hands without any further action. The bokeh button gently blurs the background. Select [Blur] to make the subject stand out, or [Unblur] to focus the entire image.

Optimized for selfies

Simple Selfies
Let the ZV-1 II capture great group moments for you. When you take selfies in iAUTO mode with two or three people, the camera automatically adjusts the setting so that all faces are sharp and clear.

How to always look your best
Always show your best side. Without any special settings, the ZV-1 II detects your skin tone precisely – for a healthy and natural look. The face-priority automatic exposure (AE) also ensures bright faces. With the Soft Complexion effect, you can adjust the smoothness of the skin using OFF/Low/Medium/High.

Always informed about recordings
Missing the action is a thing of the past. When you press the record button or tap the sign on the LCD, a red indicator lights up and a red frame appears on the screen to let you know you're recording. The rotating screen lets you watch the recording from any angle.

recording handle for easy vlogging
Vlogging is made even easier with the optional GP-VPT2BT wireless recording grip, which provides more stable recording and also functions as a tripod. The zoom lever and record button are located on the side of the grip, making them easy to operate.

Sharing and connecting

Simple smartphone connection
With the Creators' App mobile application, connecting your camera and smartphone has never been easier. The transmission continues in the background even when the display turns off or another app is opened. You can also operate the camera remotely using your smartphone or PC.

Easy streaming with just one cable
Turn the ZV-1 II into a high-quality web camera by connecting a compatible device via USB. The large 1″ image sensor and Creative Look presets guarantee vivid images.

cloud services from Sony
To make the most of Sony's tools, sign up to Creators' Cloud, which gives you access to cloud services like Master Cut (beta), which uses camera metadata and cloud AI to efficiently create rough cuts and save time. Ci Media Cloud makes production collaboration easy.

Advanced Features

High-quality images
The ZV-1 II offers powerful features and impressive image quality in a compact body. Its large 1″ image sensor enables professional recordings in XAVC S format at up to 30p and in 4K as well as up to 120p in Full HD for up to 5x slow motion. It also supports simultaneous proxy recording for efficient post-production.

Keeps up with your creativity
The ZV-1 II makes it easy to improve your photography skills. Just like professional cameras from the Cinema Line or the α series, the ZV-1 II supports the S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine image profiles for even more flexibility in post-production.

Integrated ND filter
The ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T* 18-50mm F1.8-4 zoom lens features an ND filter that controls exposure by three f-stops. Images are then expressive even in bright light. Sharpness remains consistent throughout the entire zoom range, allowing you to capture all the shots needed for a lively vlog.

next-generation audio quality
Improve your vlog audio quality even further with external microphones. The ECM-G1, for example, records sound directly in front of the camera and connects without cables. Or choose from Sony's extensive range of products suitable for a wide range of applications.
