Frame it all

With the vlog camera ZV-1 II, you can shoot everything from group selfies to sprawling cityscapes. The wide-angle 18 mm1 lens can capture a wider field of view than the human eye, so you can easily fit everyone or everything in the frame. Whether you’re indoors or out, the wide-angle lens turns everyday scenes into dynamic footage.

Versatile framing

The ZV-1 II lets you frame your shots exactly how you want, thanks to its wide-angle zoom lens. 18 mm1 is great for selfies, while 50 mm1 is ideal for portraits and snapshots. What’s more, the maximum apertures of F1.8 with the wide-angle and F4 with the telephoto give a smooth background bokeh, adding all the atmosphere you need.

Built-in mic for clear voice recording

In [Auto] mode, the new built-in Intelligent 3-Capsule Mic switches6 the direction of the built-in mic from [All Directions] to [Front] 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. Attach a supplied windscreen to reduce wind noise and capture clearer audio outdoors.

Powerful image stabilisation8

Shaky footage can ruin the best of vlogs, but the ZV-1 II is built to let you capture great footage even while you’re walking and shooting handheld. Active Mode8 helps to minimise camera blur, giving you steadier shots without the need for any post-shoot editing.

The ZV-1 II is designed for easier content creation. Activate the Product Showcase Setting and the camera will automatically focus on the product you’re holding with no additional gestures needed. Or use Bokeh Switch to get a softly blurred background – simply select [Defocus] to make the subject stand out, or [Clear] to keep the entire image in focus.

Optimised for selfies
