Sony ZV-E1 Body

Working with the ZV-E1's 12.1 MP1 full-frame sensor, the latest BIONZ XR™ engine provides high-speed processing to support 4K 60p, 120p upgradable15 recording, while an AI processing unit improves subject-recognition capabilities for advanced vlogging applications.

• Full-frame, Back-illuminated CMOS Exmor R Sensor
  The ZV-E1 is Sony's first dedicated vlog camera with a 12.1MP back-illuminated 35mm CMOS image sensor, delivering 15+ stops of latitude, low noise, high sensitivity, and gorgeous full frame bokeh.
   
• BIONZ XR Imager Processing Engine
  With up to 8x more processing power engine boosts high sensitivity, precise gradation rendering and color reproduction, and low-noise performance.
   
• AI Processing Unit
  The ZV-E1 is equipped with an AI processing unit specifically dedicated to processing significant amounts of data to enable wider and more accurate subject recognition.
   
• Sony's E-mount System
  Because it features Sony's E-mount system, the ZV-E1 can be used with all E-mount lenses, including the superlative G Master series with its stunning resolution and world-class bokeh. A choice of focal lengths ranging from 12mm to 1200mm gives users outstanding creative control.
   
• Intuitive Cinematic Vlog Setting
  By using Cinematic Vlog Setting and choosing a Look and Mood, you can create cinematic vlog footage that matches the scene and your creative intent. The overall cinematic feel is further enhanced by the use of a 24fps frame rate and the widescreen Cinemascope aspect ratio (2.35:1) with black bands above and below the image.
   
• Rely on Stable Camera Work
  A compact, precision stabilization unit and gyro sensors plus optimized algorithms achieve up to 5.0-step9 stabilization. Dynamic active Mode10 further improves stability by up to 30% compared to previously11, while the Framing Stabilizer12 automatically maintains the subject's position in the frame, using Dynamic active Mode and AI-based subject recognition.
   
• AI-based Auto Framing for Movies
  Using AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically crops the frame to keep the subject in a prominent position when shooting movies. Even though the camera is mounted on a tripod, framing is continually adjusted so that recorded footage looks like the subject was being followed by an experienced camera operator.
   
• Real-time Recognition AF
  With its innovative AI processing unit, the ZV-E1 uses subject form data to accurately recognize movement, providing an improvement of approx. 60% in human eye recognition7. Human pose estimation technology recognizes body and head position, so you can even track a subject facing away from the camera or wearing a mask.
   
• Slow and Quick Motion
  When directly replaying movies in slow or quick motion in S&Q mode while using the XAVC S-I format at 60p, a maximum bit rate of 600Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, H.264, All-I) delivers outstanding image quality. When using the XAVC S format, up to 10x slow motion with Full HD resolution is possible at 240fps (24p recording), providing fresh perspectives on dynamic sports and other types of action.
   
• Creative Zoom Control
  The zoom lever on top of the grip controls compatible powered zoom lenses and also enables Clear Image Zoom for unpowered zoom and prime lenses, which can reduce the number of lenses required for a shoot.
   
• Record Your Main Subject's Voice Clearly, Whatever the Setting
  The Intelligent 3 Capsule Microphone captures clear audio, including the voice of your main subject. Depending on your shoot, you can set the microphone's directivity to Front, Rear, All Directions or Auto.
   
• 10-bit 4:2:2 In-camera Recording
  The ZV-E1 can record 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally when using Long GOP or All Intra compression, making it possible to grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom.
   
• S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 and S-Gamut3/S-Log3
  S-Log3 offers enhanced reproduction of shadow to mid-tone (18% grey) gradations. Color spaces include S-Gamut3, with even better color reproduction than S-Gamut, and S-Gamut3.Cine, a color space that has been designed to provide a look similar to scanned cinema film.
   
• Import and Use Custom LUT Files
  User LUT files (.cube format) can be imported and assigned to picture profiles to create a specific look. The look is recorded in-camera, so color correction in post processing can be minimized or eliminated.
   
• Flexible ISO for Greater Exposure Setting Freedom
  Flexible ISO is an S-Log3 shooting mode that allows ISO sensitivity to change according to the brightness of the scene, while aperture and shutter speed are set manually. ISO can be set to AUTO or manually set between 640 and 102400 (160 and 409600 in expanded ISO mode) as required for optimum exposure.
   
• The World’s Smallest, Lightest, Full-frame Interchangeable Lens Vlog Camera
  The ZV-E1 is the world's most compact, lightweight vlog camera with a full-frame CMOS sensor and lens interchangeablity, making it ideal not only for handheld shooting, but also for gimbal or drone mounting.
