The ultimate vlog camera
Expressive imagery that emphasizes the subject
Cutting-edge technology for vloggers
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 upgradable2 recording, while an AI processing unit improves subject-recognition capabilities for advanced vlogging applications.
Features

|
|
---|---|---|---|
Expressive imagery that emphasizes your subjectSony’s cutting-edge technologies answer the demands of vloggers for uncompromising image expression. The CMOS Exmor R full-frame sensor delivers wide latitude, low noise, gorgeous full-frame bokeh, and high sensitivity. And with up to 8x more processing power12, the latest BIONZ XR performs extremely fast real-time image processing and supports 4K 60p, 120p-upgradable13 recording, with improvements in gradation rendering, colour reproduction and low-noise imaging. |
Choose from a variety of lenses to express yourselfBecause it features Sony’s E-mount, the ZV-E1 can be used with all E-mount lenses including the superlative G Master series with stunning resolution and world-class bokeh. A choice of focal lengths ranging from 12 mm to 1200 mm14 gives users comprehensive creative control. |
Natural skin tones, Soft Skin Effect and background bokehThe colours and textures of human skin and foliage are rendered consistently, even in challenging lighting conditions. Improved gradation rendering produces better skin tones and highlight roll-off in portraits, while the Soft Skin Effect smoothes out small wrinkles and blemishes and adds clarity around the eyes and mouth. When you want to emphasize your main subject, a press of the Bokeh Switch creates impressive full-frame bokeh in the background. |
Framing Stabilizer maintains a constant subject positionThe Framing Stabilizer feature automatically keeps the subject’s position in the frame constant, which can be particularly useful when walking alongside the subject. Advanced AI-based subject recognition technology works with the camera’s Dynamic active Mode image stabilization to reliably keep the subject in the frame during handheld shooting. |

Create memorable imagery with Cinematic Vlog SettingCinematic Vlog Setting15 provides an intuitive way to create scenes that look like feature movies. By choosing a Look, Mood16 and AF transition speed, anyone can create cinematic vlog footage that ideally matches the scene and creative intent. The Cinematic Vlog Setting includes “Look” options such as S-Cinetone that can enhance skin tones, “Mood” options that can emphasize specific colours, and the AF transition speed that determines how quickly autofocus will switch between subjects. The overall cinematic feel is further enhanced by the use of a 24 fps17 frame rate and the widescreen Cinemascope aspect ratio (2.35:1)18 with black bands above and below the image. |
Dynamic active Mode stabilizationA high-precision stabilization unit and gyro sensors built into the camera, plus optimized image stabilization algorithms, allow advanced electronic stabilization to work in conjunction with the camera’s 5-axis optical in-body image stabilization system in a new Dynamic active Mode. The Dynamic active Mode is approximately 30% more effective than the Active Mode20 provided in previous models. This makes it easier than ever to shoot smooth, stable vlog footage while moving around for bold, dynamic expression. |
AI-based Auto Framing for moviesUsing AI-based subject recognition technology, the Auto Framing feature automatically crops the frame to keep the subject in a prominent position when shooting movies. The framing is continually adjusted so that the recorded footage looks like the subject was being followed by an experienced camera operator, even though the camera is mounted on a tripod. In addition to the camera automatically recognizing a subject and initializing tracking, any other subject can be selected for tracking by touching it on the camera’s monitor or the Creators’ App on a smartphone. |
Tenacious Real-time TrackingThe ZV-E1’s AI-based Real-time Tracking will leave you free to concentrate on framing and composition. Subject-recognition performance has improved greatly, offering higher tracking reliability from the moment the function is initiated and making it more useful in a wider range of shooting situations25. Even people wearing helmets or masks, or animals facing away from the camera, can be accurately detected and tracked in real time26. |

---|---|---|---|
AI plus leading technology achieves precision focusWith its innovative AI processing unit, the ZV-E1 can accurately recognize a subject to focus on. In addition to people, animals and birds, the AI unit now makes it possible to recognize insects, cars, trains, and airplanes23 as subjects. With Real-time Tracking, the recognized subject can be tracked in real time at high speed. |
Product Showcase Setting for product review videosThe Product Showcase Setting makes it easy to shoot product review videos. The camera will smoothly switch focus from your face to a product held in front of the lens and then back to your face when the product is moved away. Product Showcase Setting can be turned on or off simply by pressing the dedicated button provided. |
Multiple Face RecognitionWith this feature the camera will automatically adjust bokeh and focus on multiple recognized faces in group shots, so you don’t have to worry that only people in the foreground are in focus while the faces of people in the back are out of focus. No manual aperture adjustment is required, so you can go with the flow of the moment to capture natural expressions. |
Picture Profile with imported LUT filesCustom user LUT files (.cube format) can be imported into the camera and assigned to Picture Profiles. This makes it easy to use LUTs to create specific looks when shooting in modes other than preset looks. The look is recorded in-camera, so colour correction in post processing can be minimized or eliminated altogether. |

Advanced movie recording modes: 10-bit 4:2:2The 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 providing greater editing freedom. |
Z-series batteryThe ZV-E1 uses Sony’s high-capacity Z battery. For even better power performance the image processing engine, image sensor, and related circuitry have been designed to optimize power economy under all shooting conditions. |
Dust- and moisture-resistant designSealing is provided around all buttons and dials, while all body seams incorporate a tongue-and-groove structure for double protection. Effective sealing throughout the body contributes to outstanding resistance to dust and moisture in challenging outdoor conditions36. |
Recycled materialsNo non-recyclable resources are used in our repeatedly recyclable, durable, high quality SORPLAS material. SORPLAS and other recyclable materials are used in camera bodies as much as possible, reducing stress on the environment without compromising performance or functionality in any way. |

I heard a lot of reviews online about the camera overheating, but I never had that issue. Honestly, even if it did, the beauty of this camera's sensor beats everything, from the dual native ISO to the amazing SLog 3 profile. I love the small form factor that helps me when traveling, documenting, and even gives more flexibilities on film sets. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone who is interested in leveling up their videos and photos.

The AI is a plus but marginally better than what we already had in terms of autofocus. I've had pretty great results with the older object tracking already. Dynamic active stabilization was pretty clutch a few times when tracking forward/back. Less reliable for horizontal/pan type movements.
Overheating, I used it over the weekend in 80 degree weather in a real shoot from 12pm till 4pm, mostly 4k 24p and sprinkled in some 4k 60p and did not encounter any overheating the way I would normally use it.
I was able to get it to overheat in 4k 60p in a controlled setting, recording around 30 minutes. I also updated to 4k 120p and that overheated around 15 minutes. Again doesn't bother me for my use case. I also tested in 4k 24p and the battery drained before overheating, so I could use this as a 3rd camera long format recordings like a podcast.
The built-in mic is convenient, but not that great, however if you know how to post process audio you can get pretty good results.
Only thing I wish it had was an evf, even if it's a lower res version.
I also got the white one... which was the only one ready to ship in time for my shoot, didn't want this color either but it's starting to grow on me.

I immediately charged it, put in an SD card, and started taking some video. I took less than 25 minutes of video total. I shot maybe 15 of those minutes on 4k60, literally the only real selling point on this camera in my opinion. I then maybe shot 10 minutes of 4k24 in cinematic mode or whatever.
The camera actually froze and lost a video in cinematic mode after recording 1 minute.
It overheated in 4k60 in about 7 minutes. I shot hand held in an ambient temperature of 71 degrees. I know some reviewers got videos far longer without overheating, and maybe some of that had to do with using a tripod, but this is an absolute joke.
I had originally planned on putting this in a cage, given the fact the camera itself has the ergonomics of a power brick, probably similar thermal regulation as well, and this might solve the issue. I don't really want to risk that though, and this is a ridiculous issue at this price point.
Aside from that, on a more subjective level, the colors really are not that good and the interface sucks.
I will probably end up getting the S5IIX when it comes out and just deal with the 1.5 crop in 4k60. I really am taken back by how terrible my experience with this camera was.

I’m not sure why it has low rating because it’s mean to be a short burst recording camera not a long-form filmmaking or video camera. So anyone who complains for overheating have done zero research before buying this camera.
