The Sony ZV-1 II features an RX100-like design tweaked with video content creators in mind. The ZV-1 II weighs 292 grams (10.3 ounces) with its battery and a memory card inserted. The camera’s dimensions (width x height x depth) are 105.5 x 60 x 46.7 millimeters (4.2 x 2.4 x 1.8 inches).The ZV-1 II uses a Type 1 Exmor RS image sensor. The 20.1-megapixel stacked image sensor promises fast readout and good image quality performance. While not as large as the APS-C image sensor found in the Sony ZV-E10 vlogging camera, or the massive full-frame sensor in the new Sony ZV-E1, the Type 1 sensor in the ZV-1 II is still larger than typical smartphone image sensors and the camera promises to deliver better bokeh and background defocusing than smartphones without relying on artificial blurring that often looks unnatural.The stacked sensor allows for 4K/30p video and Full HD video at up to 120p frame rates. The camera also includes Sony’s Slow & Quick video mode, which allows for slow and fast-motion video.Concerning video recording modes, the ZV-1 II includes S-Log3 gamma curves and S-Gamut3.Cine color for post-production editing. For users that don’t want to perform post-production and prefer achieving their desired look in camera, the ZV-1 II includes My Image Style, Creative Look, and a Cinematic Vlog setting to deliver fine-tuned, custom results without post-production on a computer.The camera’s Cinematic Vlog setting activates specific settings to achieve a cinematic look, including a 2.35:1 cinema scope aspect ratio and 24p (23.98p) frame rate. These settings are fixed, while users can adjust “Look” and “Mood,” which changes contrast, saturation, and color tone. Users can also shift the autofocus transition speed between high, mid, and low speeds.In a similar spirit, Sony has given the ZV-1 II special features to make capturing high-quality videos easier for users of all skills. The camera includes a Bokeh switch and Product Showcase Setting that automatically adjusts various camera settings for specific use cases. Users can take manual control if they want, but for users who want a no-fuss experience, the camera includes buttons and controls to dial in ideal settings automatically.Part of quickly capturing good videos is reliable autofocus. The ZV-1 II promises fast, precise phase-detection autofocus with Multiple Face Recognition, Real-time Tracking AF, and Real-time Eye AF for human and non-human animals. The camera also includes Face Priority Auto Exposure, which sets exposure to ensure that a tracked face looks good. The ZV-1 II includes electronic image stabilization to help footage stay smooth when shooting handheld, even while walking. Active Mode Image Stabilization promises the best performance, and relevant movement metadata works alongside Sony’s Catalyst Prepare/Browse/Plugin to help with image stabilization added during post-production.The Sony ZV-1 II features a new 18-50mm f/1.8-4 equivalent lens. The 18mm focal length is the widest of any compact camera with a Type 1 image sensor. The new lens is a significant differentiator between the ZV-1 Mark II and its predecessor, which used a 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 equivalent lens. The ZV-1 II trades reach for a wider focal length and also gives up a bit of speed at its long end.The Sony ZV-1 Mark II includes a high-quality, intelligent three-directional mic with a supplied windscreen. The camera has a built-in three-stop neutral density (ND) filter to help achieve desired shutter speeds at fast apertures in bright conditions, such as when shooting outside.Camera type Digital cameraMaximum aperture F1.8 - F4.0Focal length 6.9 - 17.6 mmFocal length (35mm format equivalent) 18 - 50 mmFocus range (from the front of the lens) Approx. 5 cm (0.17 ft.) to infinitySendsor Type1.0-type (13.2 mm x 8.8 mm) Exmor RS CMOS sensorNumber of pixels (effective) Still images: Approx. 20.1 megapixels Movies: Approx. 16.8 megapixels max.
