Designed with sustainability in mind

The ZV-E1 has been designed to deliver the ultimate content creation experience for vloggers who are looking to elevate their content, said Yann Salmon Legagneur, Head of Imaging Products & Solutions Marketing, Sony Europe. This is an incredible camera for creators who want the ultimate vlog camera, that's powered by AI technology, to deliver the best in content.

Expressive imagery that emphasises the subject

The ZV-E1 is a dedicated vlog camera that features a 35mm full-frame back-illuminated CMOS Exmor R sensor, with approximately 12.1 effective megapixels, that delivers high sensitivity, low noise and gorgeous bokeh.

With up to 8 times [x] more processing power than previous types, the BIONZ XR image processing engine markedly boosts high-sensitivity performance, gradation rendering, colour reproduction, low-noise performance, and more. The high volume of data generated by the image sensor can be processed in real time, even when shooting 4K (QFHD: 3840 x 2160) footage at 120p [xi]. The BIONZ XR processor also contributes significantly to improved AF speed and precision.

High-quality 4K (QFHD) video can be recorded with full-frame readout at 10-bit 4:2:2, without the need for40

pixel binning. This makes the expressive advantages of the full-frame format available for video recording whilst delivering high-resolution 4K footage without moir or jaggies.

Users can shoot 4K 60p and can upgrade up to 4K 120p through the Creators' Cloud with extraordinarily smooth 5x (max.) slow-motion imagery [xii]. When directly replaying video in slow or quick motion in the S&Q mode [xiii] while using the XAVC S-I format at 60p, a maximum bit rate of 600 Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, H.264, All-I)[xiv] delivers outstanding image quality. When upgraded, and using the XAVC S format, up to 10x slow motion with Full HD resolution can be used at 240 fps [xv] providing fresh perspectives on dynamic sports and other types of action.

A 15+ stop latitude [xvi] makes it possible to capture natural looking images in a wide variety of lighting situations without losing highlight or shadow detail.

The standard ISO range extends from 80 to 102400 for both stills and movies. The expanded range for stills is 40 to 409600, and the expanded range for movies is 80 to 409600.

Turn cinematic aspirations into reality

The ZV-E1 can create standout content with Cinematic Vlog Settings [xvii] an intuitive way to create scenes that look like feature movies. By choosing an appropriate Look and Mood [xviii] , anyone can create cinematic vlog footage that ideally matches the scene and creative intent. Cinematic Vlog Setting include Looks' that delivers natural mid-tones, plus soft colours and smooth highlights that are essential to cinematic look and enhance skin tones, Moods' [xx] that emphasise specific colours, and AF transition speed [xxi] that determines how quickly autofocus will switch between subjects. The overall cinematic feel is further enhanced by a 24 fps [xxii] frame rate and the widescreen Cinemascope aspect ratio (2.35:1) with black bands above and below the image.

For a truly cinematic look, the ZV-E1 features S-Cinetone. Based on Sony's Cinema Line technology, S-Cinetone delivers natural mid-tones that are essential to healthy-looking skin colour to deliver cinematic quality.

A selection of new Creative Looks makes it easy to create interesting looks for stills and video right in the camera. 10 Creative Looks are provided as presets that can be used as they are or customised. What's more, newly added My Image Style [xxiv] makes it possible to shoot in the Intelligent Auto or Scene Selection mode, icons on the touch-sensitive monitor make it easy to directly adjust background bokeh, brightness, and colour tone, as well as select a Creative Look.

AI plus leading technology delivers consistently stunning imagery

Real-time Recognition AF incorporates an innovative AI processing unit that uses subject form data to accurately recognise movement human pose estimation technology uses learned human forms and postures to recognise not just eyes, but body and head position with high precision, making it possible to lock onto and track a subject facing away from the camera. The AI processing unit can even differentiate between multiple subjects having different postures and recognition of individual faces has also been improved so that tracking reliability is achieved in c
