With up to eight times more processing power than previous models, the BIONZ

Turn your movie dreams into reality
The ZV-E1 camera can create great content with Cinematic Vlog Settingsxi mode, an intuitive way to create scenes that look like movies. By choosing the right look and moodxii, anyone can create cinematic-looking vlog material that perfectly suits the scene and creative intent. The Cinematic Vlog Settings mode includes “Looks”xiii (Looks) that produce natural midtones, soft colors and soft highlights, essential for achieving a cinematic look and enhancing skin tones, “Moods”xiv (Moods) that enhance specific colors, and the AF transition speedxv that determines how quickly the autofocus will transition from one subject to another. The overall cinematic look is further enhanced with a 24 fps frame ratexvi and Cinemascope widescreen aspect ratio (2.35:1)xvii with black bands above and below the image.

For a truly cinematic look, the ZV-E1 camera features S-Cinetone. Based on Sony's Cinema Line technology, S-Cinetone produces natural midtones that are essential for achieving healthy-looking skin tones and generating cinema quality.

Combination of AI and leading technology consistently delivers incredible images
Real-time recognition AF features an innovative AI processing unit that uses subject shape data to accurately recognize movement; Human pose estimation technology uses learning of human shapes and postures to recognize not only eyes, but also bodies and head positions with high precision, making it possible to lock focus on a subject and track it when it moves away from the camera. The AI ​​processing unit can even differentiate between several subjects who have different postures; Additionally, individual face recognition has been improved for reliable tracking in challenging situations, such as when a subject's face is tilted, dark, or lit from behind. In addition to humans and animalsxvii, the AI ​​processing unit can recognize birdsxix, insects, cars, trains and aircraftxx, offering even greater flexibility and reliability when capturing photos and videos.

The ZV-E1 camera incorporates AIiv-based real-time tracking function, which can be activated by specifying the subject and half-pressing the shutter button. The camera will then automatically follow the subject to allow the user to concentrate on framing and composition. The new camera has Fast Hybrid AF for fast shooting and constant tracking, and detailed AF settings for maximum precision and control.

Stabilization in active dynamic modexxi is approximately 30% more effective than active modexxii offered by previous models. This makes it easier than ever to record smooth, stable vlogging footage while on the move for bold, dynamic expression.

Another amazing feature of the ZV-E1 camera is the AI-based Auto Framing feature for videoxxiii, ideal for recording interviews, music shows, cooking and much more. Using AI-based subject recognition technology, Auto Framing automatically crops the frame to keep your subject in a prominent position when recording video. Even without moving the camera, the frame is continuously adjusted to follow the subject fluidly, which also helps when recording a single person. The subject can be easily selected via the camera's touch screen or the Creator's App on a smartphone.

Breathing Compensationxxiv eliminates image shifts while focusing to maintain a constant angle of view for smooth, dramatic focusing effects. The camera also features Multiple Face Recognitionxxv, which automatically adjusts bokeh and focus on multiple faces it recognizes when recording selfies or group portraits, avoiding issues such as focusing on faces in front and blurring faces in the back.

The ZV-E1 camera also includes the Framing Stabiliserxxv function, which maintains the position of the subject in the frame automatically and constantly. Advanced AI-based subject recognition technology coupled with dynamic active mode image stabilization to keep the subject stable in the frame, even when shooting freely hand-held, make it possible to create delicate video expressions, for example when shooting close-up or recording around the subject.

Advanced Audio for Award-Worthy Vlog Content
The ZV-E1 camera incorporates a high-performance three-capsule microphone with variable directionality, which can capture clear audio in outdoor situations where wind and environmental noise may be a problem; Additionally, it comes provided with a protector that can significantly reduce wind noise when recording in windy outdoor conditions. The available directionality settings are Autoxxvi (auto), Frontxxvii (front), All Directionxxviii (all directions) and Rearxxix (rear), allowing it to adapt to a wide variety of environments, and can automatically change to a direction that is in line with face recognition, so users can achieve excellent recordings with ease.

The camera also includes a Multi Interface (MI) shoe with digital audio interface and microphone and headphone jacks that offer greater audio capabilities.
