Features
Keep your subjects in focus
High-precision focusing makes sure your subject stays razor sharp. The 425 contrast- detection AF points are arranged to cover a wide area of the captured image. What’s more, Eye AF track faces without getting diverted by other subjects.
Capture the details, even in dim light
Thanks to its 20.1 million pixel Exmor RS™ 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with integral memory, the ZV-1F can capture clear video with little noise even when shooting in dimly lit locations. While shooting in Intelligent Auto mode, you can now shoot video with the background blurred to the maximum possible extent, allowing the main subject to be captured more clearly and giving your videos extra impact.
Touch-controlled step zoom
With just a touch of the LCD panel, you can easily zoom in to the view of your preference. You can select from 1.0x/1.5x/2.0x/4.0x to quickly change the angle of view to make sure you capture your best side.
Start the shoot with a timer
From dance videos to action shots, the ZV-1F lets you start shooting when you’re ready without a panic. The large self-timer countdown appears in the centre of the screen so you can clearly see when it’s time to begin.
Dedicated media for worry-free shooting
Capture it all without worrying about running out of storage space on your smartphone. The ZV-1F can record to removable SD or SDXC media, giving you the freedom to shoot as much as you want.
Shoot for longer with a USB-chargeable battery
With the ZV-1F, you can enjoy shooting on the go without worrying about running out of battery power. The camera can be charged via its USB Type-C® port, as well as from a mobile battery, giving you plenty of options for powering on through a shoot.
Works with iMovie and Final Cut Pro X
This product is compatible with Final Cut Pro X and iMovie.
