Sony ZV-1 II Digital Camera (ZV-1M2) (Black)

Sony ZV-1 II Digital Camera (Black) — The Next Generation of Creator-First Cameras

The Sony ZV-1 II (ZV-1M2) is not just an upgrade — it's a statement. Engineered from the ground up for the modern content creator, vlogger, and social media storyteller, this compact powerhouse delivers everything you need to create stunning, professional-quality content with zero compromise. Whether you're filming solo vlogs, live streaming, or shooting on the go, the ZV-1 II redefines what a compact camera can do.

A Wider World — The Game-Changing New Lens

The single biggest leap forward in the ZV-1 II is its all-new wide-angle lens. Featuring an 18–50mm equivalent f/1.8–4 zoom, this lens starts significantly wider than its predecessor, making it ideal for arm's-length selfie shooting, group shots, and tight indoor spaces. The ultra-wide 18mm starting point gives you more of the scene in every frame, while the bright f/1.8 maximum aperture ensures gorgeous background blur and confident performance in low light. This is the lens vloggers always needed — and Sony delivered it.

Powerful Imaging at Its Core

Inside the ZV-1 II lives a proven 20.1-megapixel 1" Exmor RS stacked BSI CMOS sensor paired with the BIONZ X image processor, delivering fast, accurate performance across a wide range of shooting conditions. With an ISO sensitivity range of 125 to 12800 for both video and stills, the camera handles everything from bright outdoor scenes to dimly lit interiors with impressive clarity and minimal noise. Every shot benefits from Sony's deep imaging heritage — compact in size, professional in output.

Cinematic 4K Video for Serious Storytellers

The ZV-1 II records UHD 4K video at up to 30fps and Full HD at up to 120fps for smooth slow-motion footage. It supports Sony's S-Log2, S-Log3, and HLG picture profiles, giving videographers full control over color grading and dynamic range in post-production — the same tools used by Sony's professional cinema cameras. The exclusive Cinematic Vlog Setting locks in a 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio at 24fps with a selection of "Looks" and "Moods" to instantly elevate your visual storytelling without touching a single manual setting.

Creator Features That Work as Hard as You Do

Sony has packed the ZV-1 II with a suite of intelligent, creator-focused tools that make every shoot smoother. The Product Showcase Setting seamlessly shifts focus from your face to an object in front of the lens — perfect for unboxings and reviews. The one-touch Background Defocus function instantly creates a cinematic bokeh effect with a single press. Soft Skin Effect automatically enhances your complexion on camera, while Face Priority Auto-Exposure keeps you perfectly lit even as lighting conditions shift. The Slow & Quick Mode lets you apply frame rate adjustments — up to 5x slower or 60x faster — directly in-camera from a single, intuitive screen.

Autofocus That Locks On and Never Lets Go

Powered by Sony's Real-Time Eye AF and Real-Time Tracking, the ZV-1 II identifies and locks onto subjects with exceptional speed and precision. The hybrid autofocus system combines 315 phase-detection and 425 contrast-detection AF points for smooth, confident focus transitions whether you're recording video or snapping stills. Multiple face recognition ensures that everyone in the frame stays sharp — ideal for group vlogs and collaborative content.

Studio-Quality Audio in Your Pocket

Audio is just as important as video, and the ZV-1 II takes it seriously. A multidirectional 3-capsule microphone intelligently orients itself toward recognized faces and objects in auto mode, capturing clear, directional sound in any situation. A dedicated windscreen is included for cleaner outdoor recordings, and a 3.5mm microphone input along with a Multi Interface Shoe provide full compatibility with external microphones and audio accessories for creators who demand more.

Flip Screen, Touch Controls & Live Streaming Ready

The side flip-out 3" LCD touchscreen puts full control at your fingertips for front-facing recording, making composition intuitive and effortless. Touch AE, Touch Tracking, Touch Focus, and Touch Shutter keep your workflow fast and fluid. When it's time to go live, simply connect via USB-C and the ZV-1 II instantly becomes a high-quality webcam or live streaming camera — supporting UVC and UAC standards for superior picture and sound quality across video conferencing and social platforms. A front-facing tally lamp lights up to let you know when you're recording, so you never miss a moment.
