Sony’s new vlog camera ZV-1F is packed with creative power: Easy-to-use vlogging functions, advanced connectivity, and with eco-friendly features, it is the new go-to camera for vloggers and creators who want to capture stunning stills and video.
The pocket-size camera has been optimized for vlogging with Sony’s latest technology to make content stand out.
“We have designed the pocket-size vlog camera ZV-1F with creators front of mind,” said Sajeer Shamsu, head of digital imaging at Sony Middle East & Africa.
“As audiences in the Middle East & Africa region drive the demand for high-quality content, creators need an all-in-one camera solution that delivers superior quality with creative options while being easy to use and designed for wireless content sharing. We are also proud to have incorporated eco-friendly features in the ZV-1F as sustainability remains a key focus for Sony.”
The ZV-1F has been designed to let the subject shine in any scene with an ultra-wide 20mm prime lens for optimum selfie shooting and wide field of view to capture more background. The vlog camera also offers background bokeh in both stills and video to further highlight the subject or create a softer look.
Skin tone is optimized for both video and stills with a “Soft Skin Effect” option that smooths and reduces wrinkles when shooting video and creates a natural skin tone effect for stills.
Face Priority AE automatically adjusts the brightness when shooting so that faces can be captured with optimal brightness, even in situations where the light changes. The ZV-1F also boasts high precision focusing and Eye AF for both humans and animals which allows autofocus to fix tenaciously on the face and eyes without getting diverted by other subjects. Users can easily change subjects via the camera’s touchscreen.
What’s more, when shooting video, image stabilization is available in active mode (electronic) to ensure footage is steady and smooth when walking.
The newly-available Creative Look function gives users several preset options to create desired atmospheres in both stills and video with differences in tone, brightness, color depth and more. A total of 10 modes are available to enhance creativity and allows users to share content immediately with no need for editing.
The ZV-1F also features S&Q mode to shoot in both slow motion at 5 x slower speed and quick motion at 60 x faster hyperlapse speed to achieve a desired effect.
In addition to stills and video, high-quality sound is vital to capture perfect content. A directional 3-capsule mic and wind screen provide clear voice recording and reduced noise in windy outdoor conditions.
The ZV-1F has been designed for total ease of use, so that vloggers can focus on content capture and intuitively use the camera without difficulty.
Weighing only approx. 229g, it is compact and lightweight enough for everyday use and can be carried everywhere. It also features a Vari-Angle LCD touch screen with features and settings changed by touch, including the ability to zoom, so operation is instinctive.
The ZV-1F also features a self-timer and recording lamp to make video content even easier to capture. The ZV-1F was designed with environmentally-friendly features and technology to ensure a sustainable future. Recycled materials including SORPLAS are used in both the camera body and bundled accessories like the newly-developed wind screen that have been adapted to maintain performance.
Plant-based non-woven fabrics are used for product bags to reduce plastic packaging.
The new ZV-1F will be available in the Middle East & Africa from November 2022.
