Designed for any vloggers, the ZV-1F is just weighing only approx. 229g and offers a Vari-Angle LCD touch screen with features and settings changed by touch, including the ability to zoom, so operation is instinctive. The new vlog camera includes a Bokeh Switch button to allow users to quickly switch between background bokeh when they want to highlight the face and without, even whilst recording video. It also features a Product Showcase setting to allow users to seamlessly shift focus between face and products – perfect for reviews.
The ZV-1F also features a self-timer and recording lamp to make video content even easier to capture.
Sony also made sure that ZV-1F is optimised for use with a smartphone by releasing a new smartphone app Imaging Edge Mobile Plus. It allows users to connect to the camera via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and transfer images and video. Users can even mark shots for posting on social using shot marks during shooting or on the camera. Additionally, users can cut out and transfer specific 15, 30, or 60 second marked clips to their smartphone and post directly to social without the need to edit the length to suit the platform.
The Imaging Edge Mobile Plus app also allows users to control many of the camera’s settings like date, time and area as well as software updates and support guides. It can also operate the ZV-1F remotely and display battery level and remaining storage capacity.
Livestreamers can also get a high-quality live-streaming with the ZV-1F. With an appropriate video conference application or similar software, the ZV-1F can function as a high-performance web camera when connected to a computer or smartphone via USB.
The ZV-1F is compatible with the GP-VPT2BT Shooting Grip with Wireless Remote Commander which offers cable-free control of zoom, recording and more, and expands into a mini-tripod for stable hands-free shots. An external microphone can also be easily attached to the accessory shoe for clear sound recording.
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.
Sony Malaysia has confirmed that ZV-1F will be available in Malaysia from December 2022 with the price of RM 2,599.
