ZV-1F: for vloggers and online content creators

The Sony ZV-1F camera, specially designed for vloggers and online content creators, is officially introduced. This is a pocket camera with a 1-inch sensor and a wide-angle lens with a 20mm equivalent focal length.

The camera allows you to take group selfies with a panoramic view of the background and capture everything, according to the manufacturer, even at an arm's length. The lens allows you to take pictures with great depth and perspective both indoors and outdoors. Small and lightweight, the camera is designed to be taken with you so you can shoot every day. With a 3.0" flip-out touchscreen and a 3-capsule directional microphone suitable for front-facing recording, the ZV-1F is also suitable for anyone who appreciates unique camera settings such as the blur function, Eye AF, real-time, face-priority AE, plus a new touchscreen interface for ease of use.

The ZV-1F offers 425 contrast-detection AF points to cover a wide area of ​​the image and achieve highly accurate focusing. With Eye AF, the camera automatically detects human faces and eyes, keeping the subject in focus in front of the lens. Changing focus to a different focus point is as easy as tapping the screen.

With the touch of a button, the ZV-1F lets you get beautiful blurred backgrounds like a pro. The camera's 1-inch sensor and f/2 lens provide beautiful optical bokeh. Simply select the Blur option to make the main subject stand out against a blurred background or select the Clear option to keep the entire image in focus.

There are 10 creative style presets available so you don't have to worry about complex edits. Creative Styles can instantly increase contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, sharpness and clarity.

With no special adjustments, the camera accurately captures skin tones for a healthy, natural look. There is also a Soft Skin Effect mode to adjust the skin's smoothness.

The ZV-1F lets you record sharp videos even while walking with Active Image Stabilization Mode, helping to minimize image blur when shooting handheld.

With the ZV-1F, you can easily adjust the shutter speed by simply pressing the Slow and Fast buttons. Simply record smooth videos at up to 5x slower speed or use hyperlapse to make video up to 60x faster and bring your vision to life.

By adding a shot mark when recording or playing a video, you can cut a 15, 30 or 60 second clip to send to your smartphone. Shot marks also make it easy to find scenes you want to use later, reducing the time it takes to find footage.

The ZV-1F also offers the ability to shoot vertical video and rotate horizontal video in-camera without the need for additional editing. Plus, vertical videos are automatically tagged, allowing you to quickly get your content out to the world.

The built-in 3-capsule directional microphone picks up sound from the front of the camera, delivering high quality audio so you don't have to worry about sound while recording. Plus, when shooting outdoors and fighting the wind, the camera can record your voice clearly thanks to the included windscreen, which greatly reduces wind noise.

It helps to transfer all recorded images and videos to a smartphone via Wi-Fi using the Imaging Edge Mobile Plus app. The app also turns your phone into a remote for remote shooting.

Camera control icons are displayed on the screen and are easily configured with one touch, so there is no need to learn complicated settings. With just one touch of the LCD panel, you can easily zoom in and out by selecting 1x, 1.5x, 2x and 4x to quickly change the viewing angle.

When you press the record button, the recording indicator turns red and a red frame appears on the screen to let you know you are recording. A large self-timer countdown also appears in the center of the screen so you can clearly see when it's time to start.

The camera is equipped with a rechargeable battery that can be charged via the camera's USB-C port, providing many options for activation while shooting.

The novelty is now available for order at a price of 498.00 US dollars. Two body colors are available: white and black.
