Choose the lens that suits your style and lets you see the world your way
Choose the right lens from Sony's full line of E-type lenses, and add a new dimension to your vlog with unique, quality images. Incorporate background scenery into your script with a wide-angle lens, or make the subject catch the user's eye using a fixed-focus lens with an artistic background blur. Get up close with a macro lens or shoot distant scenes with a telephoto lens.

Large image sensor for professional-quality images
The ZV-E10's impressive images are due to the camera's large APS-C image sensor. Compared to a smartphone camera, the ZV-E10's image sensor is more than ten times larger, delivering superb, professionally rendered images with high resolution and fine detail.

Efficient light capture for high-quality images with minimal noise
Designed to maximize light capture, the ZV-E10's large image sensor produces high-quality, low-noise 4K video, even when shooting in dark environments

.

4K video with oversampling for more detail
To collect approximately 2.4 times the data required for 4K, the camera's internal 4K video recordings are made by reading the entire pixel count from the sensor (almost like 6K). With this sampling, each frame of recorded video contains more visual data, resulting in remarkably detailed video imagery. (A) 2.4 times more informationDesigned

for easy selfies and vlogs
Weighing in at just 364 grams, the ZV-E10 is ready to hit the road with you whenever you're ready to vlog. The side-tilt LCD makes it easy to take selfies and check your framing, even when shooting overhead or underwater, while the ergonomic grip gives you a secure and stable hold.

Instant access to control buttons
When shooting a vlog session, you want to work quickly, without fumbling for misplaced buttons. On the ZV-E10, the VIDEO button is located on the top of the camera, giving you quick access. Its zoom lever is also handy, while its Photo/Movie/S&Q button lets you easily switch between still images, regular video, and Slow Motion and Speed modes.

Recording failure protection
The ZV-E10 lets you know directly whether you're recording or not: a recording indicator on the front of the camera glows red, while the LCD also displays a bold red frame, indicating that recording is in progress.

Fast, accurate autofocus
With the ZV-E10's Fast Hybrid autofocus system, even fast-moving subjects stay sharp. With 425 phase-detection points covering nearly 84% of the sensor's image area, the dense, wide-area point placement of the AF allows you to accurately capture subjects that are otherwise difficult to focus on.

Let Real-Time Tracking take

care of the focus

Driven by the ZV-E10's AI, real-time tracking is intuitive. Simply touch the screen to identify the subject you want to focus on and the real-time tracking does the rest, keeping that subject in focus at all times.

Let your camera focus on you
With the ZV-E10 you can focus on the more creative aspects of vlogging

. The

camera's Eye Tracking feature uses sophisticated detection algorithms to recognize and track a subject's eyes quickly and accurately, keeping a tight focus on the person's eyes.

Precise focus transitions for smooth product reviews
With the touch of a button, you can activate the ZV-E10's Product Presentation feature, ideal for product review videos. With the setting enabled, when you hold a product in front of the camera, the focus automatically shifts to that object. It then returns to your face when the product leaves the frame. This setting is available even when Image Stabilization is set to Active.

Easy control of background blur
Complicated manual adjustments are no longer necessary: a single button is all that's needed to turn background blur (bokeh) on or off. The button toggles between a rich, blurred bokeh and an extremely well-focused background, ignoring all the complicated settings.

Natural skin tones
The ZV-E10 is designed to produce natural, healthy-looking skin tones for all skin tones, without additional editing

. With the

ZV-E10's natural colors, the camera automatically optimizes skin tone.

Smooth Skin Appearance
The ZV-E10 features a Smooth Skin Effect mode to smooth your skin. The function smoothes your skin while keeping your eyes and mouth in focus. Depending on your preference, set the intensity of this effect using the four levels (from "off" to "high").

Stay bright wherever you go
Even when the lighting changes abruptly, the ZV-E10 makes sure you always stay bright. From sunny, backlit angles to dimly lit shadows and interiors, the camera detects the subject's face and automatically handles changes in brightness, quickly adjusting exposure to compensate.

Smooth, steady footage even while walking
The ZV-E10 shoots smooth, steady video on the move. Electronic image stabilization in active mode provides stable video with minimal blurring and shaking when recording manually. It even works when the product presentation function is enabled.

Easy motion acceleration and slow motion
The camera's Slow Motion and Accelerated modes record video up to 5 times slower or 60 times faster than real time. You can record up to 50 Mbps in Full HD quality right at the time of shooting, without the need to edit on a PC. High-speed Full HD recording at 120 fps also lets you create high-resolution slow-motion footage in post-production.

Designed for crystal-clear voice recording
With its built-in three-capsule directional microphone, the ZV-E10 records voices clearly, even in a crowd. Optimized for capturing voices in front of the camera with reduced distracting ambient noise, it's perfect for vlogging.

Recording with exceptional quality even outdoors
The ZV-E10 comes with a windscreen for easy recording when shooting outdoors. Easily attached to the Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe, the windscreen helps reduce wind noise.

For even better audio quality
Forget the problems of cable interference in analog audio transmission: connect the ZV-E10 to a Sony microphone with a digital audio interface using the Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe for clear, all-digital, low-noise sound. For even better sound, you can also connect your favorite microphone via the camera's mic jack.

Easy sound control
Make sure you get exactly the audio stream you want. The ZV-E10 features a standard 3.5mm headphone output, so you can connect headphones to check on the audio recording.

Optional Handle for One-Handed Operation
The Bluetooth® GP-VPT2BT handle (sold separately) gives you convenient, wireless remote control for recording, as well as zooming with a custom button. Zooming and recording are accessible for one-handed shooting, and the Bokeh button also defaults to an easy-to-access, instantly operable button.

Easy vertical shooting
Videos shot in vertical format can be played back the same way on a PC or smartphone, thanks to the metadata recorded by the camera.

There's

no need to manually rotate the video to share your work on social networks.

Transfer to a smartphone for quick sharing
The ZV-E10 makes it easy to share 4K videos and photos after shooting. Even when the camera is off, you can continue to transfer images wirelessly to a smartphone, to share whenever you're ready.

Edit movies from your smartphone
With the video editing add-on in the Imaging Edge™ mobile app, you can easily edit video footage shot with the camera on a smartphone. The image stabilization feature uses data from the camera's gyro sensor to achieve smooth video and compensate for camera movement. Leveraging the camera's data, the Smart Framing feature allows you to resize video and change aspect ratios while ensuring the main subject remains in frame.

Add special effects to the shot
Enable color modification to create a variety of artistic effects. To do so, adjust the Creative Style settings or choose from seven different visual effects with Special Effects mode, without additional post-production.

Flexible tone control with S-Log3 curve

support

If you want to improve color adjustment flexibility in post-production, you'll appreciate the ZV-E10's support for the S-Log3 curve, which sets the standard for maximizing sensor performance on professional cameras. The S-Log3 curve offers a wide dynamic range, giving you the enhanced visual data you need for better color control when editing in post-production on a PC.

Make 4K HDR movies with true-to-life colors
Natural, true-to-life colors in 4K HDR movies without post-production or color grading, thanks to the camera's support for recording 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range) movies with the HLG image profile preset

.

Fine-tune your transitions when you change focus
When you change focus from one subject to another, you enjoy precise control over the transition speed of the autofocus. The transition speed controls whether the transition is fast or more gradual, with seven different levels available.

Creating Time-lapse Videos
The ZV-E10's interval shooting mode lets you create evocative time-lapse videos stitched together from still images. The shooting interval can be adjusted from 1 to 60 seconds, with a maximum of 9,999 shots. The camera gives you a preview of the finished video, while the Imaging Edge desktop application from Sony on a PC allows you to create the final version.

Easy setup for live streaming
With its large sensor and built-in microphone, the ZV-E10 can be used as an online communication tool with a single cable. To use the ZV-E10 as an external camera, connect it to a PC or Sony Xperia™ smartphone via a USB Type-C® wired connection. You can assign a USB streaming mode to a custom button for fast streaming.

Handle long shooting sessions without worrying about the battery.
When shooting outdoors or in any location that doesn't offer a power source, you can rely on the camera's battery and its 125 minutes of continuous use or up to 440 photos. The camera also supports external power via a USB Type-C connector, allowing you to extend recording time with an external mobile battery.

Switch to AC power to shoot video longer
When streaming live or just shooting extended indoor shots with access to AC power, an AC adapter like the AC-PW20AM (sold separately) means you never have to worry about the battery

.

Optimized editing and image stabilization features
With motion metadata recorded by the gyroscope, tripod-free videos are smooth and stabilized in post-production. With Catalyst Browse/Catalyst Prepare from Sony, you can easily balance motion compensation and image crop levels. Catalyst can also make effective use of rotation data.

Imaging Edge Desktop
Optimize your filmmaking and photography with Imaging Edge Desktop applications. Use "Remote" for remote shooting on a PC, "Viewer" to view, rate and select images from libraries, and "Edit" to develop RAW data into high-quality photos. Make the most of RAW files Sony and manage your productions more efficiently.
