More than just a simple back up camera.

This is a fun little all purpose camera that takes amazingly clean photos, is easy to hold and use, and charges up quickly. I purchased this camera for short videos. Haven't used it for that yet, having fun just taking pictures with it at this time. Since it is an older item, I know a few things may hold glitches like transferring data but so far just see the pros and no cons for this little gem. Will update my review as I include more functions and uses and come across more pros and cons.

VERY GOODBACKUP / TRAVEL CAMERA FOR ENTHUSIAST

I purchased the ZV-1F knowing that the camera was tailored for content creators and vloggers. However, as a hobbyist myself, I want my hands to be free from heavy gear during my vacations, however I want a camera that is pocketable, readily usable without too much fiddling, will complement with my smart devices, and has a few extra features especially with video and color grading (if you suddenly need it). The ZV-1F ticks all of these boxes. This camera is travel-friendly as it utilizes a prime 20mm lens that has an f/2.0 aperture. It is good for wide scenery landscapes, group-style portraits, night and lowlight shots, and video. One quirk is that the sensor uses a contrast-detect AF system only. Although it performs really well and is snappy, the reliability of the hybrid CDAF/PDAF system would have been nice to have. Pros: - Ease of use - Pocketable and portable - Lens / Aperture / Sensor-size combination is superb for its form factor - SLOG2/SLOG3 and HLG profiles are available - Price point Cons: - JPEG only, no RAW - No mechanical shutter and optical in-body stabilization / optical steady shot - Cold shoe only, no MI - 425-pt contrast-detect autofocus system only, no phase-detect

Think of this as a 20mm lens that also records video

Updated electronics from the ZV-1 with a fixed super wide lens. USB-C port for power and data.

have everything to start content creation

With the ZV-1F Vlogging Camera, content creation is both effortless and professional. This compact powerhouse is specifically engineered for vloggers and online content creators, offering a blend of portability and performance with its pocket-sized design and high-quality imaging capabilities. The ZV-1F boasts a large 1-inch sensor paired with a versatile wide-angle 20mm F2.0 lens, perfect for capturing expansive scenes and detailed low-light footage with ease.

The camera's user-friendly features are a testament to Sony's innovation, including the renowned Eye-AF and autofocus tracking that ensure your subjects remain in sharp focus. The simplified Background Defocus function allows for cinematic bokeh effects, while Face Priority AE adjusts exposure to highlight faces, ensuring you always look your best on camera. The Product Showcase setting is ideal for crisp and clear product reviews, shifting focus effortlessly to the item you're presenting.

Creative expression is at your fingertips with the ZV-1F's touchscreen interface and 10 Creative Style presets, allowing you to personalize your footage without complex post-production. Capture dynamic scenes with the S&Q button, which offers slow-motion and hyper-lapse options to add drama or tranquility to your videos.

Stability is key for engaging content, and the ZV-1F delivers with Active Mode image stabilization, ensuring smooth footage even while on the move. The built-in Directional 3-Capsule Mic captures your voice clearly, whether you're indoors or out, complemented by a wind screen that effectively reduces noise on breezy days.

Vertical video creation is streamlined for social media platforms, with in-camera rotation and automatic tagging for easy smartphone transfers. The Imaging Edge Mobile Plus app enhances connectivity, allowing for quick image transfers and remote control functionality. With Shot Marks, you can efficiently manage your footage, selecting and transferring only the best scenes to your device.

Designed for intuitive use, the ZV-1F features on-screen control icons and a clear recording indicator, making it accessible for both novice and experienced camera users. Its lightweight build and compatibility with the GP-VPT2BT shooting grip/tripod make it a go-to choice for on-the-go vlogging.

Elevate your audio game by connecting external microphones, such as the ECM-G1 vlog microphone or the ECM-W2BT wireless microphone, for even higher sound quality. The ZV-1F can also double as a high-quality webcam with a simple USB connection, ensuring vibrant visuals and excellent audio for your live streams.

The camera's 425 contrast-detection AF points cover a wide area, maintaining focus on your subject with precision. Even in low light, the 20.1 million pixel Exmor RS CMOS sensor captures detailed footage, and the touch-controlled step zoom allows for quick framing adjustments.

With the option to use removable SD or SDXC media, you'll never have to worry about storage constraints. The USB-chargeable battery ensures extended shooting times, and the self-timer feature allows for perfectly timed starts to your recordings.

Sony's commitment to sustainability is evident in the ZV-1F's design, which incorporates a newly developed wind screen made from recycled polyester and the use of SORPLAS recycled plastic in the camera body. This commitment to the environment does not compromise the camera's performance, making the ZV-1F a responsible choice for eco-conscious creators.

In summary, the ZV-1F Vlogging Camera is a versatile and reliable tool for content creators who demand quality, convenience, and creative control. Whether you're capturing life's moments or creating professional-grade content, the ZV-1F is designed to help you tell your story with clarity and style.
