Sony ZV-1 II Digital Camera with 20.1MP Sensor and 4K Video

Effective still-image reference

35 mm equivalent lens range

Maximum aperture range

Maximum movie rate reference

Wide framing, bright aperture

The built-in F1.8–4.0 lens and ND filter offer flexibility as lighting changes. Take detailed RAW or JPEG photos alongside your video projects. Set the framing and check a short test recording before the shoot, with the subject in the actual working position.

Flexible recording and focus

Capture 4K at up to 29.97p or Full HD at up to 119.88p. Fast Hybrid AF and a side-opening touchscreen support convenient subject framing. Set the framing and check a short test recording before the shoot, with the subject in the actual working position.

Choose the Lens System for Your Content

The built-in zoom lens stays with the camera and covers the listed equivalent focal-length range. Change framing using the zoom and shooting position rather than treating the camera as an interchangeable-lens body. Choose the actual wide or telephoto view around the subject and surroundings.

Give Recorded Speech Its Own Audio Path

An appropriate external microphone can make speech capture easier to position around the subject. These Sony cameras provide a 3.5 mm microphone input. Use the camera-compatible receiver cable for a wireless system, set the camera input level and check a short recording before the actual take.

Prepare the Recording Format and Storage

Choose the movie format around the project, memory card and editing workflow. Higher frame rates, higher bit depth and different codecs have their own requirements and are not automatically active together in every mode. Prepare suitable storage and review the recorded file before an important session.

Is the lens interchangeable?

This compact camera uses its built-in ZEISS zoom lens. It does not use Sony E-mount interchangeable lenses.

Is this the first or second generation?

ZV-1 II uses an 18–50 mm equivalent built-in lens. The original ZV-1 has a different 24–70 mm equivalent lens.

Can I add a camera wireless microphone?

Use a compatible receiver and the appropriate 3.5 mm camera microphone cable. Wireless ME and Wireless PRO are alternative kits; they are not both required together.

Is a Stream Deck a required camera accessory?

No. Stream Decks are optional controls for a supported computer production workflow. They do not replace the camera lens, recording card or microphone connection and are not promised to control every camera function directly.

Does the highest recording format work in every setup?

Movie formats depend on the selected recording mode, memory card and compatible editing software. Check those requirements for the intended frame rate, codec and bit depth before the shoot.

How should I check the setup before recording?

Frame the subject, confirm focus, check battery and storage, then record a short test with the actual microphone connection. Review the file before starting the full interview or presentation.
