Sony ZV1FB.CE3 (ZV1FB-CE3, ZV1FB/CE3, ZV1FB_CE3, ZV1FBCE3) ZV-1F Vlogging Camera

The Sony ZV-1F is a digital compact vlogging camera with a Type 1 (13.2x8.8mm) sensor and a fixed 20mm equivalent lens. Designed to be your first vlog camera. From social media to YouTube video, the ZV-1F camera elevates your vlogging easily with great image and audio quality.

With the Sony ZV-1F, you can truly capture it all – a group selfie along with an expansive view of the background scenery. with the camera’s ultra-wide-angle 20 mm lens that captures a wider field of view than the human visual field.

Look your best regardless of where you’re shooting. Sony's new vlog camera automatically adjusts the brightness to light your face even in situations where the brightness changes, such as when backlit or entering a room.

Fit everything in frame

With the ZV-1F, you can truly capture it all - it allows you to snap a group selfie along with an expansive view of the background scenery. Since the camera's ultra wide-angle 20 mm lens captures a wider field of view than the human visual field, you can take images with eye-popping depth and perspective, even in narrow spaces, both indoors and outdoors.

Beautiful skin tones for everyone

Look your best any time you're shooting. Without any special settings, the ZV-1F will accurately capture your skin tone, ensuring you a healthy and natural look. There's also a Soft Skin Effect selectable to OFF/ Low/ Mid /High to adjust your skin smoothness.

Sharp AF, bright face

Using Eye AF, the camera automatically recognises human faces and eyes, making sure you stay in focus in front of the lens. Switching the focus to another subject is easy - just touch the screen. There's no need to worry about lighting either, as Face Priority AE will automatically brighten your face.

Easy bokeh at the push of a button

Get beautiful defocused background like a pro with just a press of the Bokeh Switch. The camera's large 1.0-type image sensor allows for true optical bokeh. Select [Defocus] to make the main subject stand out against the bokeh background, or [Clear] to keep the entire image in focus.

Impressive colours to match your style

Shoot beautifully coloured images from the get-go without worrying about editing. With the ZV-1F, you don't need a fancy crew for fancy colour - just choose from 10 available presets for pro-level footage that matches the scene and your style.

Slow or speed at the touch of a button

Capture those touching moments in slow motion or ramp up the energy for dramatic scenes – all without any editing. With the ZV-1F, you can adjust the footage speed just by pressing the S&Q button. Shoot smooth video at speeds up to 5x slower, or use hyperlapse shooting to make the video up to 60x faster and bring your vision to life.

Steady footage even when walking

Showing your viewers the world around you makes engaging content, but shaky footage can be a bit distracting. The ZV-1F allows you to capture video clearly even while walking. Active Mode image stabilisation5 helps to minimise image blur from handheld shooting for steadier shots.

Ideal for product-review videos

Put your products on centre stage with a single touch. Just set the Product Showcase Setting, and simply hold a product in the centre of the frame. The camera will automatically focus on it – with no additional gestures needed. Let your viewers concentrate on what counts, when it counts.

Clear audio, anytime, anywhere

Indoors or outdoors, the ZV-1F is designed to always capture your voice clearly no matter where you’re shooting. The built-in Directional 3-Capsule Mic collects sound from the front area of the camera, giving you high quality audio, so you can put your energy into creativity, instead of worrying about the sound while recording.

Effortlessly portable

Small and lightweight, the camera is designed to be taken out and about – just like your smartphone. Capture everyday life with ease, and grab content on the go.
