The larger sensor makes a difference in quality
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 ten times larger 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.
Professional-looking bokeh at your command
The ZV-E10 makes it easy to shoot impressive images with a softly blurred background, like the kind you see in movies. The camera's large-size sensor makes this possible, allowing you to take striking shots where the subject really stands out against the background.
Impressive 4K movies
Making high-resolution 4K movies is as easy as pressing the MOVIE button, and the ZV-E10's large image sensor enables a beautiful range of colours. For maximum detail, the image sensor records 2.4x the volume of data needed for 4K, then condenses the data to produce the final recording.
Clean footage in dim lighting
Even when you're shooting in poorly lit settings, the ZV-E10 delivers beautifully detailed images with minimal noise. Once again, it's all thanks to the large size of the camera's image sensor, which maximises light collection. The result is clear, clean images even when shooting indoors with dim lighting or outdoors at night.
For Even Higher Audio Quality
Unlike with conventional analog audio transmission, you'll never need to worry about cable signal interference. Just pair the ZV-E10 with any Sony microphone that supports a Digital Audio Interface via an MI Shoe for clear, low-noise, all-digital audio. Or, you can connect your favorite mic via the camera's mic jack for even better audio.
Easy sound monitoring
Make sure that you're getting exactly the audio stream that you're hoping for. The ZV-E10 features a standard 3.5mm headphone output, so you can connect a set of headphones to monitor whether the audio is being properly recorded.
Optional grip for easy one-handed operation
The Bluetooth-enabled GP-VPT2BT grip (sold separately) provides easy, cable-free remote control of recording and zoom controls along with a custom button. Zoom and record operations are accessible for one-handed shooting, and the Bokeh Switch is also assigned by default to an easy-to-reach button for operation with a single touch.
Vertical shooting without the complications
Movies shot in a vertical orientation can be viewed the same way on a PC or smartphone, thanks to metadata recorded by the camera. There's no need to rotate the video manually, convenient when you're sharing your work on social media.
Transfer to a smartphone for quick sharing
The ZV-E10 makes it easy to share 4K movies and still images after shooting. Even when the camera is turned off, your images can continue to be transferred wirelessly from the camera to a smartphone, to be shared as soon as you're ready.
Edit movies from your smartphone
Movie footage shot with the camera is easy to edit on a smartphone using the Movie Edit add-on from the Imaging Edge Mobile app. The image stabilisation feature uses the camera's gyro sensor data to smooth out the video and compensate for camera shake. There's also an intelligent framing feature that uses camera data to let you crop video and change aspect ratios while ensuring that the main subject remains in the frame.
Add special effects in-camera
You can switch up your colours to create a variety of artistic effects. Just change the Creative Style setting, or choose from seven different visual effects using Picture Effect mode, without any additional post-production.
Flexible control over colour tones with S-Log3 support
If you want greater flexibility in adjusting colours during post-production, you'll appreciate the ZV-E10's support for S-Log3, the standard for maximising sensor performance in professional cameras. S-Log3 allows for a wide dynamic range, giving you the increased visual data you need for greater colour control during post-production editing on a PC.
Produce 4K HDR movies with true-to-life colours
Natural, realistic-looking colours in 4K HDR movies can be achieved without post-production or colour grading, thanks to the camera's support for recording 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range) footage using the preset HLG picture profile.
Fine-tune your transitions when you switch focus
When you switch focus from one subject to another, you'll enjoy fine-grained control over AF Transition Speed. Transition speed controls whether to perform a quick transition or a more gradual one, with seven different levels available.
Create time-lapse movies
With the ZV-E10's interval shooting mode you can create evocative time-lapse movies assembled from still shots. The shooting interval can be adjusted from 1-60 seconds between shots, with up to 9,999 shots possible. You can see an in-camera preview of what the finished movie will look like, then use Sony's Imaging Edge Desktop on a PC to put together the final footage.
Live-stream setup is easy
With a single cable, the ZV-E10 can be used as an online communication tool, taking advantage of its large sensor and built-in mic. To use the ZV-E10 as an external camera, connect it to a PC or a Sony Xperia smartphone via a USB Type-C cable connection. You can assign USB Streaming mode to a custom button for quick streaming.
