Discover the ZV-1F
Easy to use and with stunning image quality, the ZV-1F is the perfect tool for content creators and vloggers.

Capture everything in the frame
The ZV-1F really does capture everything, including a group selfie with a large portion of the scene in the background. Thanks to the 20mm ultra-wide angle lens with a field of view wider than the human eye, capture deep, rich images with bold perspectives, even in small spaces.

Perfect skin tones for all your subjects
Look your best every time you shoot. With no special settings, the ZV-1F brings out the natural look of your skin tone. Off / Low / Medium or High, the smooth skin effect lets you adjust your skin tone.

Automatic sharp MaP and face exposure
With eye tracking, the vlogger recognises human faces and eyes, so you're guaranteed sharpness. Simply touch the screen to focus on another subject. Don't worry about the lighting: Face-priority auto exposure automatically illuminates your face.

Easy one-touch bokeh
Get a professional-looking blurred background with the simple touch of the Bokeh button. The camera's large 1.0-type image sensor makes it possible to achieve true optical bokeh. Select [Bokeh Effect] to isolate the main subject against a blurred background, or [Sharp] to focus on the entire image.

Impressive colours to suit your style
Produce beautiful colour images right out of the box, without editing. With the ZV-1F, there's no need for a dedicated colour team - choose from 10 presets for professionally rendered videos that match the scene and your style.

Slow down or speed up at the touch of a button
Capture those emotional moments in slow motion or boost the energy of dramatic scenes without editing. The ZV-1F lets you adjust the recording speed with the touch of the S&Q button. Record smooth video at speeds up to 5× slower, or take advantage of hyperlapse recording for 60× faster video, bringing your vision to life.

Great shots, even on the move

Stable recording even on the move
The world around you offers compelling content, but unstable images can be distracting. The ZV-1F allows you to record stable video, even when you're walking. Active Image Stabilization mode6 reduces the blur of hand-held shots, for sharper images.

Ideal for product videos
Put your products in the spotlight with a single touch. Choose the Product Presentation setting and place the product in the centre of the frame. The vlogger will automatically focus on it, without any further action from you. Let your audience focus on what matters, at the right time.

Clear sound, anywhere, anytime

Designed for clear voice recording
Whether on location or indoors, the ZV-1F is designed for clear voice recording wherever you shoot. The 3-capsule directional microphone records sound from the front of the vlogger, giving you high quality audio and creative freedom from the hassle of recording sound.

Clear sound even in windy conditions
When you're shooting outside in windy conditions, the ZV-1F records your voice clearly thanks to its windscreen, which drastically reduces unwanted noise.

Perfect with your smartphone

Vertical video made easy
Shoot vertical video7 for social networking, just like a smartphone. The ZV-1F also allows horizontal videos to be rotated in-camera without editing. What's more, vertical videos are automatically tagged for direct transfer to your smartphone and quick distribution of your content.

Connect your smartphone for even more possibilities
Transfer all your photos and videos to your smartphone via Wi-Fi using the Imaging Edge Mobile Plus app. It also turns your phone into a remote control for remote shooting.

Select the best scenes
Transfer only the scenes you need to save time and storage space. Adding a shot marker lets you trim a 15, 30 or 60 second video clip and send it to a smartphone. The shot markers then allow you to easily find the scenes you want to use, saving you time.

Easy to use

Simple and intuitive controls
Even beginners can start shooting straight away with the ZV-1F. It does not require complex settings. The control icons are displayed on the screen and can be easily adjusted by touching the screen.

Never forget to press the record button
Never miss the action. When you press the record button, the indicator light turns red and a red frame appears on the screen. You know you're recording what matters.

Extremely portable
Small and light, the vlogger is designed to go everywhere with you, just like your smartphone. Easily document your daily life and create content wherever you want.

Expand your content and creativity

Enjoy the grip for easy vlogging
Vlogging is even easier and more comfortable with the GP-VPT2BT11 grip: it stabilises your shots and can also be used as a tripod. The zoom and record buttons on the side of the grip give you ergonomic access to these key functions.

Keep your moving subjects in focus
High-precision focusing ensures your subject is in sharp focus. The 425 contrast-detecting AF points11 are arranged to cover a wide area of the recorded image. In addition, Eye AF tracks faces without dwelling on other subjects.

Retain detail even in low light
With 20.1 megapixels12, the ZV-1F's 1.0 Exmor RS™ stacked CMOS image sensor with full memory records clear video with little noise, even in low-light conditions. Recording in Intelligent Auto mode now allows you to blur the background as much as possible to better isolate your main subject and enhance the impact of your videos.

Touch-controlled step zoom
