The ZV-1 II is an ideal all-round vlog camera. Compact and portable to take on every adventure, it lets you frame it all with the wide-angle 18mm lens or zoom in to your subject at 50mm. Additionally, the combination of a 1.0-type image sensor and maximum apertures of F1.8 (wide-angle) and F4 (telephoto) creates smooth, atmospheric background bokeh. Use the integrated Cinematic Vlog Settings to customise moods, transition speeds, and more, to really add some drama.
