Features That Bring Vlogging to the Next Level
Lenses That Expand Your Visual Expression
Find a Lens to Match Your Style
Professional-looking vlogs are easy with the ZV-E10, thanks to interchangeable lenses that capture the world however you choose to see it. Watch the video below to discover some of the many creative possibilities.
Wide and Dynamic Footage
With a wide-angle lens it's easy to capture dynamic footage, spotlighting both you and your location when you're taking selfies. Capture more of the city or the natural backdrop, and bring your viewers along with you in a shared experience.
Attention-grabbing Background
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.
Super Close-ups Highlight the Details
Unlike other types of lenses, a macro lens can get you closer to your subject, allowing you to capture the small details at a bigger size than with normal lenses. Whether it's an accessory you're wearing or a meal you're preparing, a macro lens can pull in very close to your subject and show off every glorious detail.
Far-Away Action
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.
Expand your Vlogging with Over 60 Lenses
Sony's lens line-up can add an extra dimension to the vlogs you make with the ZV-E10. Sony offers more than sixty lenses that are ideally designed for Sony cameras, including lenses that are tailored to moviemaking. Select from a unique line-up of lenses, and explore your powers of self-expression.
Advantages of Sony’s Lenses for Video Shooting
Learn the four unique advantages of using Sony's E-mount lens for video shooting. The combination of Sony's lenses and cameras will enhance your video creation experience.
Easy, Impressive Vlogs
One-touch Control of Background Blurring
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.
Add Drama with Slow and Quick Motion
With the ZV-E10's Still/Movie/S&Q button, you can easily access S&Q mode to shoot slow-motion video at a speed 4x slower than real time. Or, by changing the setting, you can shoot quick motionup to 60x faster. These can be shot without post-editing on a PC, with clear Full-HD quality.
Ideal for Product-review Videos
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.
Natural and Smooth Skin Tones
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 /High depending on your preference.
High-quality Video Even When you're Moving
The ZV-E10's image stabilisation system can shoot smooth, clean video footage even when you're walking. 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.
Automatic, Precise Focus
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-enabled Real-time Tracking.
Smooth, Professional Focus Transition
With the ZV-E10, focus speed can be customised to fit the mood, for a more impressive look. The camera lets you choose from seven different speeds, from a quick transition to a more leisurely one. Watch the video below for inspiration on its use.
Shooting Grip for Smoother Vlogging
The optional GP-VPT2BT 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”.
Large-Sensor Images
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.
APS-C 1.0-type1/2.3~1/3.4-type.
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 Stunningly Clear Audio
Built for Clear Voice Recording
The ZV-E10 makes it easy to clearly record your voice without any worries. The internal Directional 3-Capsule Mic is optimised to capture sound from in front of the camera, recording your voice clearly even when you're in a crowd.
Clear Sound Recording Even Outdoors in the Wind
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.
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 microphone from Sony that supports a Digital Audio Interface via a Multi Interface (MI) Shoe for clear, low-noise, all-digital audio.
Share and Connect

External Power Supplies for Extended Shooting Sessions
For even more flexibility, the camera supports external power via a USB Type-C connector, so you can use external mobile batteries to extend your recording time.
Optional AC Power Suitable for Live Streaming
When you have access to AC power you can use an AC adapter like the AC-PW20AM? and never worry about running out of battery charge, useful when you're doing live streaming.

Incorporate background scenery into your script with a wide-angle lens, or make the subject grab the viewer's attention by using a fixed focal length lens with an artfully blurred background. Move in closer with a macro lens or pull in distant scenes with a telephoto lens.
A Large-Format Image Sensor For Professional-Quality Images
The ZV-E10's impressive images are the result of the camera's large APS-C sized image sensor. Compared to a smartphone camera, the image sensor of the ZV-E10 is more than ten times? bigger, allowing for beautiful, professional-looking images with high resolution and intricate detail.
Efficient Light Collection For High-Quality Images With Minimal Noise
The ZV-E10's large-format image sensor is designed to maximise light collection, producing 4K movies with high-quality images with less noise even when you're shooting in a dimly lit setting.
4K Video With Oversampling For Greater Detail
The camera's internal 4K video recordings? are made using a full-pixel readout from the sensor, allowing the collection of approximately 2.4 times? as much data as is required for 4K (roughly equivalent to 6K). This oversampling means that the recorded footage has more visual data condensed into every frame, resulting in remarkably detailed video imagery.
Designed For Easy Selfie And Vlog Shoots

The side-opening vari-angle LCD screen makes it easy to take selfies and check your framing, even when you're shooting from high or low positions, and the ergonomic grip is designed for a safe and stable hold.
Instant Access to Control Buttons
When you're shooting a vlog session the last thing you want to do is fumble for buttons. With the ZV-E10 you'll find the MOVIE button right on top, for quick access. There's also a handy zoom lever?, and a Still/Movie/S&Q button that lets you easily switch between still images, normal videos and Slow & Quick Motion modes.
Protection Against Recording Failures

Fast, Precise Autofocus
Even quick-moving subjects stay in focus thanks to the ZV-E10's Fast Hybrid AF system. With 425 phase-detection points? covering around 84%? of the sensor's image area, this wide coverage and dense AF point placement help to precisely capture subjects that might otherwise be difficult to focus on.
Let Real-Time Tracking Do The Focusing Work For You
The ZV-E10's AI-driven? Real-time Tracking is intuitive to use. Simply touch the monitor to indicate the subject you want to focus on and Real-time Tracking will take it from there, keeping a steady hold on the subject.
Leave It up to the Camera to Focus on You
With the ZV-E10 you can concentrate on the more creative aspects of vlogging. The camera's Eye AF feature uses sophisticated detection algorithms to recognise and track a subject's eyes quickly and accurately, keeping a tight focus on a person's eyes.
Precise Focus Transitions for Smooth-looking Product Reviews
With just the press of a button, you can activate the ZV-E10's Product Showcase Setting, ideal for product review videos. With the setting activated, whenever you hold a product up in front of the camera the focus will shift automatically to that object, and then back to your face again when you move the product out of frame. This setting is available even when image stabilisation is set to Active.
Easy Background Blur Control
There's no need for complicated manual adjustments – just press a single button to turn background blurring (bokeh) on and off. The button switches between a blurred, bokeh-rich background and a clearly focused one?, skipping all the complex setting.
Natural-Looking Skin Tones

From direct sunlight and backlit angles to shadows and dimly lit interior corners, the camera detects the subject's face and automatically handles changes in brightness, performing rapid exposure adjustments to compensate.
Smooth and Stable Images Even While Walking
The ZV-E10 will help keep things smooth and steady when you're on the move. Active Mode? electronic image stabilisation delivers stable video footage with minimal shake and blur during hand-held recording, and it's available even when the Product Showcase Setting is on.
Easy Sped-Up and Slowed-down Motion
The camera's Slow & Quick Motion? modes record videos up to 5x slower than real time or up to 60x faster.
