- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: ZV1F/B
- Product Name: ZV-1F Vlog Camera for Content Creators and Vloggers
- Color: Black
- Camera Model Family: Sony ZV-1F
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1” (13.2 x 8.8 mm)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Self Timer: true
- Effective Pixels: 20.1 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: false
- Display
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)

Great and Versatile Lil Thing!
Love this thing! Affordable (in terms of mirror less, high-quality cams), compact, and easy to use. The app is decent but I personally don’t use it all that much. I see where it could be useful though. My favorite thing is the preset settings it has. Want a warmer, cooler, lower contrast, etc? It has a preset. If that doesn’t suit your needs, the settings are super easy to run through and adjust. The touch-screen is fantastic, it may be a little harder to use if you have larger hands (I would use a stylus if that’s the case) for me it’s great. Very responsive and good image. I mainly use it for streaming on twitch. This is where there’s a small but understandable downside. Which is the USB function caps out at 720p30fps. If you use a hdmi cable with a capture card though, the quality improvement is insane! (Tip: Elgato is overpriced imo, I suggest looking at Mirabox. Has done me well the last few months and has really nice build quality.) Don’t want to read all that? Well here’s the conclusion: Get it. It’s great if a quality budget camera is what you’re looking for.

Sony vs. Canon!
Only concerns are battery life, difficulty with connecting the WiFi to my phone (I live in the country LOL), & no flash! Otherwise - it’s everything you’d want! I previously purchased the canon Mark III for a trip, and this one is much better at auto-focus in the video! If you’re in between the two, in my opinion, the Canon is better for photos (due to flash & connection to phone speed) while the Sony is better for videos with the object following, etc. Sony is definitely more user/beginner friendly. Overall, I do love this camera! I uploaded a pic I took of my mom and dog with the Sony (day version) & myself (night version) with the Canon below!

Sony ZV-1F
Now… i want to become a content creator and this is my second camera but my first camera i invested money into. I loveee this camera especially as a beginner with just starting up. The camera quality and the mic is 100% clear it’s not to heavy & i didn’t even change the settings or anything. The settings are easy to use no difficulties at all. I recommend this camera 100% not even just for starting/upcoming content creators.
