About this model
The Sony ZV-1F is a compact camera built for vlogging and content creation. It pairs a 20.1-megapixel 1-inch sensor with a fixed 20mm f/2.0 ultra-wide lens, giving a wide field of view that's ideal for handheld self-recording and group shots. The 3-inch touchscreen flips out to face you, and the camera includes dedicated features like Product Showcase Setting, which quickly shifts focus between your face and an object held up to the lens. It records 4K video and offers a range of creative looks and filters. Lightweight and pocketable, the ZV-1F is a straightforward step up from a smartphone for video and stills.
