This sleek black mirrorless camera features an upgraded 26MP APS-C sensor for faster performance and stunning high-quality imagery, aligning it with top-tier models like the FX30 and a6700. Packed with intuitive creative shooting modes, a superior 3-capsule directional microphone, and a versatile 3-inch articulating LCD touchscreen with vertical orientation support and an integrated tally light, the ZV-E10 II is your all-in-one solution for powerful multi-purpose vlogging.

Optimized for Vlogging and Impeccable Audio
The ZV-E10 II’s design is meticulously optimized for creators. Its flip-out 3-inch 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD makes self-filming and vlogging a breeze, complete with an integrated tally lamp that creates a red border around the screen when recording. For vertical content platforms like TikTok or Instagram, the LCD screen intelligently flips to display information vertically, too.

For crystal-clear audio, a directional 3-capsule microphone is specifically engineered for forward-directional recording, perfect for vlogs and interviews. A dedicated windscreen minimizes distortion when filming outdoors. Both 3.5mm microphone and headphone ports are included for advanced audio setups, and the Multi Interface Shoe supports a digital audio interface, reducing noise and eliminating cable clutter with compatible shoe-mounted mics.

Seamless Connectivity and Live Streaming
The ZV-E10 II offers comprehensive connectivity options for sharing your creations. It includes a micro-HDMI video output and a USB-C data output for easy transfers to computers or mobile devices. You can even live stream directly to social media using the USB-C port or the integrated 5 GHz Wi-Fi. High-speed wired transfers to compatible devices are supported via the Sony Creators App, and the camera supports RTMP, RTMPS, and SRT streaming protocols, along with UVC standards to use it as a high-quality webcam.

Intelligent Image Quality and Autofocus
The ZV-E10 II houses an APS-C-format 26MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, similar to those found in Sony’s FX30 and a6700, delivering smooth, nuanced image quality with minimal noise. Its broad ISO sensitivity range of ISO 100-32000 can be expanded to ISO 102400 for exceptional low-light performance. This sensor pairs with an upgraded BIONZ XR processor for 8x faster performance and an increased 5.6K oversampling area for stunning detail.

The camera’s fast-hybrid 759-point phase detection autofocus system utilizes advanced subject-recognition algorithms for superior tracking. Real-time Eye AF intelligently prioritizes human or animal eyes for pinpoint sharpness in portraits, with the option to prioritize left or right eye. Real-time tracking employs AI-based algorithms to automatically recognize and track moving subjects, ensuring they remain in sharp focus.

Versatile Video Modes and Enhanced Power
Record stunning UHD 4K video up to 60p, utilizing full pixel readout with 5.6K oversampling for exceptional detail and reduced moiré. Full HD 1080p recording is supported up to 120 fps, both utilizing the high-bitrate XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats with 4:2:2 sampling. The camera includes S-Cinetone and S-Log 3 color profiles for enhanced grading control and full utilization of its impressive 14-stop dynamic range. You can also assign LUTs or use the Creative Looks mode to apply preset color effects directly to your footage while shooting.
