SonyZV-1 II Compact Vlogging Camera with 18-50mm Lens, 2.7x Optical Zoom, 4K Ultra HD, 20.1MP, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3” Vari-Angle Touch Screen, Black

The ZV-1 II is a vlogger’s dream, letting you create your stories and share your world. Sony’s hit vlogging camera has been upgraded, refined, and enhanced, for even better on-the-go results. The 18-50mm zoom lens gives you the versatility to capture the whole environment around you, and to focus in on the detail …or yourself. And a large 1-inch sensor ensures fantastic 4K footage. With a host of clever image optimisation features, it’s ready to shoot, share, and show your best side.

Optimised for selfies
Let the ZV-1 II work for you to capture great group moments. When taking selfies in iAUTO mode with two or three people, the camera can automatically adjust the setting to keep everyone’s faces sharp and clear. You’ll look your best too …without any special settings, it accurately captures your skin tone, ensuring a healthy and natural look.

Versatile framing
It lets you frame your shots exactly how you want, thanks to its wide-angle zoom lens. 18mm is great for selfies, while 50mm is ideal for wider portraits and snapshots. Plus, the maximum apertures of f/1.8 with the wide-angle and f/4 with the telephoto give a smooth background bokeh, adding all the soft defocused atmosphere you need.

Built-in directional mic
In Auto mode, its built-in Intelligent 3-Capsule Mic switches direction when the camera recognises a human face in the frame. Or you can switch manually to Front for selfies or Rear when shooting with narration. And you can attach the supplied windscreen to reduce wind noise and capture clearer audio outdoors.

Simple, intuitive control
Even first-time vloggers can jump straight into shooting with the ZV-1 II; there’s no need to study complex settings. Touch function icons like recording and self-timer are displayed on the screen for easy control. They’re also great for shooting selfies or in other situations when you can’t reach the physical buttons on the camera.

Dedicated Product Review and Bokeh settings
A Product Showcase setting is designed for perfect product review videos, making sure those chosen items are displayed to their best. And a Bokeh Switch gives you easy control over lush background blur, to really make the subject stand out.

Touch Tracking Focus
The ZV-1 II automatically makes sure you always stay in focus with Touch Tracking. It recognises human faces and eyes, so it keeps track of the main subject without wandering off. Just tap the subject on the screen to activate the feature. Eye AF can even be set to track animal faces and eyes.

Shoot then share easily
With both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi it’s simple to share your vlogs instantly, and upload them to your social media channels.

Pointedly portable
Small and lightweight, it’s designed to be taken out anywhere - just like your smartphone.

Quality webcam
The ZV-1 II can be used as a webcam with video and audio, for both Windows and Macintosh systems (firmware update may be required). So you can make use of its Zeiss lens and 3-capsule microphone for high quality visuals, defocused backgrounds and sharp audio when live-streaming or on a conference video call. It can also be connected directly to select compatible mobile phones for on-the-go streaming.
