Small, powerful and remarkably intuitive to use, the Sony ZV-E1 Full Frame Mirrorless Vlog Camera (Black) makes it easier than ever to remove the gap between your creative vision and the final product. It takes the extraordinary image quality and creativity tools pioneered in the Alpha and Cinema Line range of cameras, and reimagines them as the ultimate tool for today’s emerging content creators.

Thanks to the use of a full-frame image sensor, the ZV-E1 can offer both cinema-level expressive control and extraordinarily powerful production tools like Dynamic Active Stabilisation and Automatic Subject Framing, expanding the range of scenarios that can be shot without assistants or bulky additional gear.

Not only can you do more with a single camera than ever before, but the ZV-E1 is also extraordinarily compact, weighing in more than 200g lighter than the Alpha 7SM3, and a half-kilo lighter than some competing full-frame models.

A newly designed touch interface brings vital tools for content creators to the front, and can be easily summoned or dismissed with a swipe of the finger. In addition to making a range of existing features simpler and faster to access, this interface makes activating new features like Cinematic Vlog mode a breeze.

Sony ZV-E1 | A Tiny Video Production Powerhouse

Inheriting the sensor, processor and core image processing pipeline of the Alpha 7S III and FX3 cameras, the ZV-E1 fits seamlessly into an existing Sony workflow, or makes an ideal first step into serious full-frame video production. In addition, its compact size and clean silhouette make it ideal as a practical or crash camera on larger productions.

Cinematic Vlog Mode

Cinematic Vlog Mode adjusts a wide host of camera settings to achieve a truly cinematic look, in-camera. S-Cinetone, 15+ in-camera presets and a 21:9 aspect ratio all contribute to the creation of a filmic quality that might otherwise require hours of work in post, all at the push of a button.

Powerful AI-based Features

The new Framing Stabiliser and the revolutionary Auto Framing tool open up a huge range of options for solo shooters and small crews, providing automatic tracking of subjects in frame with deep customisation.

Dynamic Active Stabilisation

The ZV-E1’s full-frame sensor is also used to enhance image stabilisation for situations where hardware stabilisation is impractical or not desired. Buiding upon the existing Active Stabilisation, Dynamic Active Stabilisation provides extraordinary levels of stabilisation, making it possible to capture footage in-camera that would previously have required a gimbal.

Improved Time Lapse Shooting

Incorporated into the ZV-E1’s S&Q mode, the new Time Lapse feature allows the ZV-E1 to capture finished time lapse movies in-camera, without the need for assembly in post. This feature combines powerfully with Dynamic Active Stabilisation for hyperlapse-like effects.

Workflow-Friendly Design

In addition to its outstanding core image quality and design, the ZV-E1 is compatible with Sony workflow tools like S-Log, and enables users to upload custom LUTs to camera for consistent results across multiple cameras.
