Vlog to your full potential

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.

Expressive imagery that emphasizes your subject

Sony’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 yourself

Because 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 bokeh

The 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 position

The 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 Setting

Cinematic 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 stabilization

A 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 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. 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 Tracking

The 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 subject recognition

Picture Profile Custom LUT

AI plus leading technology achieves precision focus

With 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 videos

The 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 Recognition

With 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 files

Custom 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.

I own many Sony cameras. a6400, a6600, a74 , fx3. zve1 is the latest addition. I bought it for one specific purpose… Auto-Framing! And it works flawlessly. It’s like having an extra camera man. Only thing I was worried was overheating issue every one talked about. For long recordings over 1 hour , I attach ulanzi fan and it seem to work well. I know this camera wasn’t really meant for photos but 12mp is plenty for social media. Highly recommend it.

Despite all the warnings I purchased it anyway, basically it's a budget compact FX3 in SOME ways, you will get similar footage and all that but the build is definitely not intended for pro filming oe the same use cases, I've definitely got overheating issues several times while shooting 60p which I love for creamy slow mo, you pretty much need to shoot in short bursts, leaving it on 60p and shooting anything somewhat continuous you're doomed so you need to learn to let it breathe basically, I just did some nightclub shots and a few client things that was easy to reshoot the few times it happened but anything where you can't miss a shot like a wedding def don't rely on it

Colour Name: BlackStyle: Body w/kitVerified Purchase
This camera is over criticized and underrated. The people who talk bad about it never owned one and only reiterated what online reviewers said without actually using it. This camera has taken me through travels in the deserts of Texas, whole day music video shoots, and several sets. Not once has it overheated. This camera's power is underestimated not only with it's beautiful sensor, but also the features it has like it's mic (the best onboard mic I've had on a camera) the ai auto framing, the variable shutter, and the stabilization. Also, it's form factor is perfect because you can make it as small or big as you want with a cage. This camera has changed my life, not only in film-making, but how I see the world, and how I can use this tool to show it.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Was unsure at first, but really loving this camera.
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2023
Colour Name: WhiteStyle: Body onlyVerified Purchase
Was hesitant because of all the overheating talk. But it's definitely a keeper for me. I already own an a7s 3 and FX3 so I'm familiar with the sensor. I'm not using this as a vlog camera, instead I wanted the same quality in a smaller form factor for travel and lighter run and gun setup.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overheating makes this camera an absolute joke.
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2023
Colour Name: BlackStyle: Body w/kitVerified Purchase
I received this camera today. I don't shoot professionally, and I know cameras at this price bracket are probably overkill for what I use them for. That being said, this camera is an absolute joke.

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.

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023
Colour Name: WhiteStyle: Body onlyVerified Purchase
This has been a great video camera for me. Everything has been fine except for one single hiccup. Doing a long interview (around 50 minutes) 4k 30fps in a room around 85 degrees Fahrenheit with no air movement is too much. It did overheat. The camera was new to me at the time, so I didn't know how hard I could push it. I heard of the possible overheating from watching many YouTube videos, so, thankfully, I did have a cell phone recording at the same time, so I didn't lose any of the interview. I turned it back on immediately and was blowing on the back of the camera for the last 10-15 minutes of the interview to keep it cooled off. Honestly, even the smallest breeze does seem to be enough to keep it cooled off. Other than that one time I've never had any issue. It is a fantastic camera, and everything I've done with it looks absolutely amazing.

This camera is awesome and amazing capability.
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.
