- Product Name: ZV-1F Vlog Camera for Content Creators and Vloggers
- Color: White
- 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.)

Best Camera for The Price, Googleplex of Features.
Great camera, really good for live streaming and recordi g YouTube videos. For a digital camera you can't beat the price,especially for a sony. The microphone and windscreen are a little quiet and picks up on th wind even with it on. Otbing a shotfun mic and windscreen wont fix. Can also fix it when editing, it's 21 or 22 megapixels can't remember, but it blows the videoqaulity of galaxy S23 out of the water also photos as well. Love the amount of customization and the awb, which comes in handy if shooting something bright. Has auto exposure correction too, but I prefer to fiddle with that myself because it sometimes adjust too slow crushing out balcks or making the photos/videos washed out. Overall for the price thos one is a steal forsure. You can also find some cheaper lense to screw on to this of you want to get a better zoomed in photo. The max might be 52mm, not sure but thats what mine is. The only downside to that is a 52mm lense with at least 25x zoom is going to be a little cosltly. Overall I am very satisfied, if you use it to record gaming content on YouTube, Get a capture card and the right micro hdmi, you can stream in 720p which is the norm especially on platforms like twitch YouTube can stream up to 1080p at a higher bitrate the usbc wont go any higher than that, so if ypu wanna squeeze 1080p out of a stream you need hdmi and a capture card. Overall fantastic camera and would reccomend it to anyone not trying to drop 800 to 1500 on a Nikon.

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.
