ZV-E10 with 16-50mm OSS (Black)

A fixed-focal-length lens makes it easy to shoot a vlog that grabs the viewer’s attention. This type of lens creates a smooth, natural background blur that lets the subject stand out. It’s also useful when you want a brighter image in a dimly lit setting.

With a telephoto lens, you can shoot far-off objects, scenery or action with clear detail, whether you’re vlogging while travelling or just shooting everyday life. Zooming in and out can also add an extra dynamic element to your story.

There’s no need for complicated manual adjustments—just press a single button to turn background blurring (bokeh) on and off. Select “Defocus” for a professional-looking blurred background to draw attention to the main subject, or “Clear” to show the entire scene in sharp focus.

With the ZV-E10’s Still/Movie/S&Q button, you can easily access S&Q mode to shoot slow-motion video¹ at a speed 4x slower than real time^2 3. Or, by changing the setting, you can shoot quick motion^1 3 up to 60x faster. These can be shot without post-editing on a PC, with clear Full-HD quality.

Eliminate the frustration of recording product review videos. When the Product Showcase Setting is activated, the camera will quickly and automatically shift focus from your face to a product held in front of the camera, without the need to place your hand behind the product to shift the focus to it.

Without any special settings, the ZV-E10 will capture your skin tone with a natural look. There’s also a Soft Skin Effect to smooth your skin’s appearance, which is adjustable to OFF/Low/Mid/High⁴ depending on your preference.

The ZV-E10’s image-stabilization system can shoot smooth, clean video footage even when you’re walking⁵. Another feature, Face Priority Auto Exposure (AE), will automatically brighten the lighting of your face. Even when you’re walking, it automatically detects your face and makes adjustments to keep it brightly lit as you move from indoors to outdoors, through light or shadow.

Without any settings, the ZV-E10 can automatically track your face and eyes to keep a steady focus without wandering off onto other subjects. When you do want to shift focus, just touch the LCD monitor and the camera will track the subject you choose with AI-enabled⁶ Real-time Tracking⁷.

With the ZV-E10, focus speed can be customized to fit the mood, for a more impressive look. The camera lets you choose from seven different speeds⁸, from a quick transition to a more leisurely one. Watch the video below for inspiration on its use.

The optional GP-VPT2BT⁹ makes it even easier to take selfies and shoot from high or low angles. You can also access controls on the grip without reaching for the camera’s buttons while shooting. With these controls you can start and stop recording, handle zoom operations and set the Bokeh Switch to “Defocus” or “Clear.”

The ZV-E10’s impressive images are the result of the camera’s large APS-C-sized image sensor—the same kind found in cameras all the way up to professional cinema models. The sensor is more than 10 times larger¹⁰ than ones you would find in a typical smartphone, so it collects far more light and more image data, in order to create beautiful images and evocative bokeh effects.

Making high-resolution 4K movies¹¹ is as easy as pressing the MOVIE button¹², and the ZV-E10’s large image sensor enables a beautiful range of colours. For maximum detail, the image sensor records 2.4x¹³ the volume of data needed for 4K¹¹, then condenses the data to produce the final recording.

The ZV-E10 makes it easy to clearly record your voice without any worries. The internal Directional 3-Capsule Mic is optimized to capture sound from in front of the camera, recording your voice clearly even when you’re in a crowd.

The ZV-E10 comes with a wind screen that reduces wind noise when you’re shooting outdoors. Just attach the wind screen for worry-free shooting, and you won’t have to adjust noise levels after shooting.

Unlike conventional analogue audio transmission, you’ll never need to worry about cable signal interference. Just pair the ZV-E10 with any microphone from Sony that supports a Digital Audio Interface via a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe for clear, low-noise, all-digital audio.

The Movie Edit add-on¹⁷ makes it easy to edit video on a smartphone. Apply enhanced stabilization for especially shaky shots²¹ or reframe and crop video to suit popular social-media aspect ratios.

When you have access to AC power, you can use an AC adapter like the AC-PW20AM⁹ and never worry about running out of battery charge—useful when you’re doing live streaming.
