Elevate Your Vlogging
The Sony ZV-1 II Camera is a compact and feature-packed camera designed specifically for vloggers and content creators. It offers a range of advanced features to enhance your vlogging experience. With its intelligent microphone, the ZV-1 II ensures clear audio recording, while the wide-angle zoom lens allows for versatile framing, capturing everything from group selfies to sprawling cityscapes.

Frame it all
The camera's wide-angle 18-50mm zoom lens provides a wide field of view, enabling you to fit everyone or everything into the frame. Whether you're shooting indoors or outdoors, the lens turns everyday scenes into dynamic footage. Additionally, the ZV-1 II offers creative color options to enhance your visuals. The My Image Style feature allows you to easily tweak brightness and color while previewing the shot, eliminating the need to navigate complex menus. For shots with a more creative color and mood, Creative Look offers ten presets to match your vision.

Creative colors add a Dramatic Touch
The ZV-1 II lets you add a dramatic touch to your videos with a single tap. Its Cinematic Vlog Setting automatically shoots in a Cinemascope aspect ratio at 24 fps, giving your footage a cinematic look without the need for post-production editing. You can also change the color of your footage by selecting from five LOOKs and four MOODs, instantly achieving professional results. Capture professional-level footage, shooting in XAVC S format up to 30p in 4K, and up to 120p in Full HD for up to 5x slow motion. It also supports Cine picture profiles like S-Log3 and S-Gamut3, and simultaneous proxy recording, for more steamlined and flexible post-production.
Built-in mic for clear voice recording
Capturing high-quality audio is effortless with the ZV-1 II. In [Auto] mode, the built-in Intelligent 3-Capsule Mic intelligently switches the microphone direction to focus on the human face in the frame. You can also manually switch between [Front] for selfies, [Rear] for narration, and [Auto] for general use. The camera includes a windscreen to reduce wind noise and capture clearer audio when shooting outdoors.

Effortlessly portable
Weighing just 10.3 oz. (292g), the ZV-1 II is incredibly portable, allowing you to capture everyday life with ease and grab content on the go. Its simple and intuitive control interface makes it easy for even first-time vloggers to start shooting right away, with touch function icons displayed on the screen for easy access to recording, self-timer, and Product Showcase settings.
Focus on you
The ZV-1 II keeps you in focus with its Touch Tracking feature, which recognizes human faces and eyes, ensuring the main subject remains in focus throughout your videos. You can also activate Real-time Tracking to follow a subject of your choice, allowing you to concentrate on capturing the best angles. The camera's powerful image stabilization minimizes camera blur, delivering steady shots even while walking and shooting handheld.

Simple, intuitive control
Stand out from the crowd with the ZV-1 II's Product Showcase Setting, which automatically focuses on the product you're holding, eliminating the need for additional gestures. The Bokeh Switch feature enables you to create a softly blurred background, making the subject stand out or keeping the entire image in focus.
Selfies made simple
Taking selfies is a breeze with the ZV-1 II. In iAUTO mode, the camera automatically adjusts settings to keep everyone's faces sharp and clear when taking group selfies. You can always look your best with accurate skin tone reproduction, and the Face Priority AE feature brightens your face for optimal lighting. The camera also offers a selectable Soft Skin Effect to adjust your skin smoothness.

Always know when you're recording
The ZV-1 II ensures you never miss a recording moment. The recording lamp glows red and a red frame appears on the screen when you start recording, providing instant visual feedback. The rotatable screen allows you to track your recording from any angle.
Streamlined customizability
For easier vlogging , the ZV-1 II features a customizable C button. You can assign one of 41 available functions to the C button for quick access to key control buttons.

Select the best scene with Shot Mark
The ZV-1 II supports Shot Mark, allowing you to add markers while shooting or replaying a video. This feature enables you to cut out specific clips of 15, 30, or 60 seconds and transfer them directly to your smartphone. Shot Marks also make it easy to find desired scenes, saving time during post-production.
