Description

The Sony ZV-E1 is a compact mirrorless camera that you can use to make professional vlogs. You record sharp and detailed footage in 4K resolution at 120 fps. These images are suitable for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. You can slow them down into smooth slow motion videos. The framing stabilization of the camera follows the movements of your subject. It keeps it in focus and the middle of the screen. If you record product reviews, use the Product Showcase Setting. When you show a product, the camera focuses on it right away. This compact vlog camera only weighs 399g. That means it's easy to take with you on an active vacation, for example. You can record all your adventures in a daily vlog that way.

Image quality

The camera has a large full-frame image sensor, so you can record without crop. That means your videos aren't recut. Thanks to this wide viewing angle, you can easily get yourself and your surroundings in frame. If you like to make slow motion videos, record in Full HD at 240 fps. You then get smooth images that you can slow down in post-editing. In the Cinematic Vlog Setting, you record in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio. This aspect ratio can also be found in movie theater movies. Choose from 3 standard spaces and always record cinematic images. Turn on the Gold profile with the touch of a button to make the colors in your video a bit warmer, for example.

Image stabilization

Thanks to the framing stabilization of the ZV-E1, you can easily record vlogs and interviews. Select a subject, like the person you're interviewing. The camera will then follow the movements of your subject and keep it in the middle of the frame. This ensures professional videos. Easily switch subjects by clicking on the touchscreen.

Product Showcase Setting

If you make product reviews, the Product Showcase Setting is useful. You can show a product in your video and the camera will recognize it right away. It moves the focus from your face to the product. This blurs the background to emphasize the product.

Compact camera for professional-looking vlogs

Easy to carry due to low weight
In S-Log I edit colors accurately
Smooth images in cinematic vlog setting
No double memory card slot

With the Sony ZV-E1 I take the quality of my videos to a higher level. I find the camera useful for vlogs of days out and my vacation, but also for product reviews in a studio. Because of the low weight I film with one hand. I find that very important with a vlogging camera, because that way I have my other hand free to show something, for example. I am very enthusiastic about the high image quality of this camera. My videos are sharp and smooth. I think a disadvantage is that the camera does not have a double memory card slot. I prefer to keep my images as a backup on a second memory card. That is not possible with this camera.

Sharp images with bright colors I film with this camera in 4K resolution. This produces razor-sharp images, making my vlogs look professional. This is how I distinguish myself on social media. I use a high frame rate of 60 frames per second when I slow down images for a b-roll, for example. This is how I make smooth slow motion videos. When I shoot in S-Log, I accurately edit the colors of my images. This is a RAW image format with a wide dynamic range. The images seem a bit flatter unedited, but in post-processing I make the colors brighter and more realistic. For cinematic videos I use the cinematic vlog setting. In this mode I choose from different color profiles. My favorite is Gold, which gives my videos a warm, sunny glow. This saves me time in post-processing.

Smart autofocus with tracking When I make a vlog, I like to make sure that my images are sharp. I don't worry about that with this camera, it focuses very quickly and accurately. When I switch subjects, it immediately focuses. Thanks to the tracking function, my subjects remain sharp when they move. For example, I film a moving train, which remains sharp all the time. A new feature is framing stabilization. The camera follows my movements, so that I automatically stay in the center of the image. I mainly use this when I film myself on a tripod, for example for a review. If I accidentally move a little bit to the left or right, the camera follows me. This also works well when I'm filming moving subjects, such as athletes. In this mode, the camera crops the image a bit, making the frame smaller.
