High image quality and easy-to-apply advanced effects Despite its compact design, the ZV-1 is equipped with a large 1.0-type Exmor RSTM CMOS sensor, which ensures high-quality images even in low or challenging lighting conditions. In addition, the large sensor delivers professional-looking images with blurred backgrounds (bokeh), along with fast data readout for impressive 4K and super slow motion video capture [FN|Sound cannot be recorded in Super Slow Motion mode. A Class 10 or higher SDHC/SDXC memory card is required.]. Let the camera do the focusing with Real-time Tracking Simply turn your face towards the camera, and it will recognize color, patterns (brightness), subject distance (depth), and face/eye information, automatically focusing and tracking your subject precisely. Plus, when the camera recognizes eyes, faces, or subjects, a frame will appear on each target to ensure your subject is in focus and let you shoot without worry. Quickly switch focus between subjects The high-performance focal plane phase-detection sensor enables fast and precise focusing with Fast Hybrid AF. The sensor uses 315 phase-detection focus points across 65% of the screen to quickly switch between subjects without hunting for focus. When taking a selfie, the camera can change focus with a simple touch, from your face to the background and back again, so that focus is clear and precise. Effortlessly capture expressive, professional-looking selfies with a slightly blurred background. The unique Bokeh Switch (C1) takes the hassle out of balancing exposure and controlling depth of field and replaces them with a single button. Simply press to switch between having everything in focus or blurring the background to expertly highlight your subject. Create standout reviews with Product Showcase Setting Take your product reviews to a new level of professionalism with the Product Showcase Setting, which allows for quick and precise focus transitions between you and the product on display. The custom C2 button activates the Product Showcase Setting by default, prioritizing focus on the product and widening the field of view. Simply hold a product in front of the camera to change the focus point, eliminating the frustrations of autofocus and allowing for efficient video review shooting. Powerful image stabilization Even while you're walking with the camera, you can get smooth, ultra-steady images thanks to the SteadyShot™ optical and electronic image stabilization system. It's designed specifically for handheld filming and vlogging with a grip, so you can confidently shoot without any shake or blur. Instead of focusing on staying still, you can focus on your presentation and framing your footage. Smart Auto-Exposure (AE) Transitions Optimized for Faces The fast, unpredictable shooting that makes for exciting vlogging poses a major challenge for most cameras. However, the ZV-1's Smart AE Transition algorithm makes quick exposure adjustments even when lighting conditions change dramatically, from shade to sunlight, indoors or outdoors. And by prioritizing faces, it ensures that your video subjects always look their best, even when the lighting is less than ideal.
