Vlogging-Focused Design

Specifically tailored to vloggers and content creators, the ZV-1F features a flip-out 3.0" touchscreen that rotates to the front for natural selfie framing, plus a clean, creator-friendly user interface with touch icons so first-time camera users can start shooting quickly. A bright red recording lamp and on-screen red frame visually confirm when recording is active, reducing the risk of missed takes.

The built-in directional 3-capsule microphone is optimized for front-facing audio pickup, helping your voice cut through ambient noise. When shooting outdoors, the supplied wind screen mounts to the cold shoe to drastically reduce wind noise and maintain intelligible dialogue.

Fast & Intelligent Autofocus

The ZV-1F uses 425 contrast-detection AF points to cover a wide area of the frame, delivering precise focusing for both video and stills. Real-time Eye AF automatically detects and tracks human eyes, keeping the subject’s face sharp as they move within the scene.

Touch focus on the rear LCD makes it easy to shift focus to another subject with a tap, and Face Priority AE automatically brightens the subject’s face, even when moving between different lighting conditions. This helps maintain consistent exposure and avoids sudden brightness shifts.

Optical Bokeh & Creative Looks

With a large 1" sensor and a bright f/2 lens, the ZV-1F delivers true optical background blur. A dedicated bokeh switch lets you instantly toggle between a defocused background for subject isolation or a clearer view where more of the scene is in focus, without manually adjusting aperture.

Creative Style presets (10 in total) adjust contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, sharpness, and clarity to match your preferred look straight out of camera. The camera also offers a Soft Skin Effect mode, allowing you to refine skin smoothness while maintaining natural, healthy-looking skin tones across a wide range of subjects.

Steady Footage & Speed Effects

Active Mode digital image stabilization helps keep handheld footage smooth, even when walking and showing your surroundings. This stabilisation reduces blur from camera shake, allowing more engaging, watchable clips when filming on the move.

Slow & Quick modes let you control playback speed directly in-camera. With a single button press, you can record up to 5x slow motion or create hyperlapse-style sequences up to 60x faster than real time, without additional editing. This makes it easy to add cinematic motion and pacing to your content.

Product Showcase & Clip Selection

The Product Showcase setting is perfect for unboxings and product demos. With this mode enabled, the camera quickly shifts focus from your face to an object held in front of the lens and back again, with no extra gestures, ensuring your audience can clearly see the details that matter.

Shot Mark functionality lets you tag important moments during recording or playback. You can then export short 15, 30, or 60 second clips directly to your smartphone, saving time, storage space, and simplifying the process of finding key scenes when editing or posting.

Vertical Video, Connectivity & Streaming

The ZV-1F makes vertical video as straightforward as shooting with a smartphone. Vertical footage is automatically tagged, and horizontal clips can be rotated in-camera, so you can send ready-to-post videos straight to your phone. This is ideal for platforms that prioritize vertical content.

Built-in Wi-Fi and the Imaging Edge Mobile Plus app allow fast transfer of photos and videos to your smartphone, as well as remote control of shooting functions. Over USB, the ZV-1F can double as a high-quality webcam, with its 1" sensor and Creative Look options ensuring vibrant visuals and the directional mic delivering clear audio for live streaming and video calls.

Low Light & Practical Features

Even in dim locations, the ZV-1F is designed to capture clear, low-noise video. In Intelligent Auto mode, the camera can maximize background blur to better separate your subject from cluttered or dark backgrounds, adding impact and clarity to your footage.

Step-controlled Step Zoom on the touchscreen lets you quickly switch between preset angles of view at 1x, 1.5x, 2x, and 4x. A prominent self-timer countdown in the center of the screen gives you time to prepare before recording, ideal for dance videos, action shots, or group clips. Long battery life and USB-C charging support extended shooting, with flexible power options from portable batteries or other USB sources.

GP-VPT2BT Wireless Shooting Grip

The included Sony GP-VPT2BT wireless shooting grip improves stability and ergonomics for handheld recording and converts into a compact tabletop tripod for hands-free shooting. It connects to the camera via Bluetooth, eliminating cables and simplifying setup.

Integrated controls include a shutter button, video record button, zoom rocker, and a customizable C1 button so you can trigger key functions directly from the grip. The tilting head offers upward tilt to 80° (40° in tripod mode), downward tilt to 90°, and 360° rotation, enabling flexible framing whether you are vlogging, filming from above, or shooting low-angle content. Dust- and moisture-resistant construction complements use with compatible weather-sealed cameras and accessories.
