The Integrated Lens and Compact Camera in the vlog camera ZV-Series Opens the Door for a Wider Audience of Content Creators
Today, Sony launches the all-new second generation camera to the ZV-1 in the vlog camera ZV series, the ZV-1 II which includes highly requested and popular market-leading features. With a wider angle than ZV-1, the ZV-1 II helps vloggers make more engaging storytelling with attractive photogenic image quality.
With the 1.0-type Exmor RS image sensor (approximately 20.1 effective megapixels), BIONZ X image processing engine, and ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 18-50mm F1.8-4[i] lens, the ZV-1 II allows for creators of many skill levels to enjoy sophisticated capabilities. From the 18-50mm[ii] wide angle lens which can frame everything from group selfies to narrow interiors or dynamic recordings of everyday scenes to the Multiple Face Recognition[iii], which recognises multiple faces and automatically adjusts to keeps all faces sharp and clear when taking selfie shots that include two or three people, the ZV-1 II is the advanced vlogging camera packed into a travel-size.
The ZV-1 II is an exciting chapter for content creators and will be the go-to camera for many, including vloggers, social media influencers and short form video creators. With the newest vlog camera in the ZV series, we have taken requests from various users and included features that matter most to vloggers, said Yann Salmon Legagneur, Head of Imaging Products & Solutions Marketing, Sony Europe. We are striving to take feedback from our community to continue to expand and elevate our ZV series and the ZV-1 II does just that.
Comprehensive Features for Vloggers & Video Content Creators
The ZV-1 II has a number of new and popular features that will empower creators to capture better content. Ultra-wide angle and Zoom 18mm[ii] wide angle of view makes it easy to capture attractive photogenic image with the entire scene - especially when shooting selfies at arm's length. The 18-50mm optical zoom and the Clear Image Zoom smoothly enlarges images while minimising loss of image quality to create a variety in videos by changing the angle of view.
1.0 type sensor with Bokeh Switch which gives beautiful bokeh by defocusing the background with a single touch.
Intelligent 3-capsule microphone In Auto mode, the camera recognises human faces or objects and automatically[iv] switches the direction of the built-in microphone ([Front] or [All Directions]). In Manual mode, you can select [Front] for selfies, [Rear] when shooting with narration or [All Directions]. The supplied windscreen ensures a clear recording of the speaker when outdoors. Easy to use cableless attachment to Multi Interface Shoe[v] and a 3.5 mm microphone jack makes it easy to connect external microphones.
Cinematic Vlog Setting function responds to the demands to easily take ambient images using a vlog camera. It enables impressive imagery at a touch. Simply tap the on-screen function icon and the camera will automatically set a CinemaScope size (2.35:1) [vi] and a frame rate of 24 fps[vii], the same as for a cinema movie. Then finish off the work with the on-screen buttons to select from five LOOKs and four MOODs
Creative Look which supports 10 preset looks[viii] to suit your creative preferences and pro-level imaging features.
Face Priority AE and Soft Skin Effect automatically and immediately detects faces and adjusts the exposure to optimise facial brightness, no matter the lighting. Soft skin effect smooths skin and facial features when filming.
Fast Hybrid AF System Even in high-definition 4K where precise focusing is required, the camera will keep the images sharp with the same Fast Hybrid AF system seen in series cameras. The camera is equipped with AF Transition Speed to select the focusing speed during video recording, and AF Subject Shift Sensitivity to control the focus in line with the subject's movement and environment. In addition, the Real-time Eye AF can accurately keep focus on human or animals for both stills and movies.
Product Showcase Setting which delivers convenient shooting of product review videos with smooth focus transitions from your face to the item you are highlighting.
S&Q shoot mode[vix] which allows a selection up to 5x slow or up to 60x quick motion to add impact to everyday scenes. The combination of shooting and recording frame rates can now be set on a single screen.
ISO sensitivity spanning from 125 to 12800- allows the camera to record sharp images with less noise, even in low lighting.
Active Mode electronic image stabilisation content can be captured while walking or in motion and is especially useful for handheld shooting[x]. Useful for handheld Movie and Slow & Quick motion shooting.
Built in ND filter - to reduce exposure by three stops and allow for beautiful background bokeh even in the brightest situation.
Compact and Lightweight for Easy Portability, Operability, Connectivity
The ZV-1 II is perfect for on the go; its compact and lightweight design can be easily carried in a pocket or small bag, even with its' optical wide zoom lens. The ZV-1 II supports different filming styles with the vari-angle screen suitable for selfies, easy to hold body grip (or with an optional GP-VPT2BT grip), user-friendly key and control layout[xi] and the recording indicator on the front face of the body. The monitor display has been redesigned with a bold, clearly visible red frame that makes it obvious when recording is in progress. Power charge easily via a USB Type-C connector.
Creators can connect and share content easily with Sony's Creators' Cloud platform and easy smartphone connection. The Creators' App can be used to control the ZV-1 II from a smartphone, monitor camera battery and media status, edit date and camera names and easily transf
