Sony ZV-E10 II Body (SKU ZVE10M2B.CEC)

The Sony ZV-E10 II is an upgraded APS-C mirrorless camera designed around content creation. It features a new 26MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and the latest BIONZ XR image processor in a compact, lightweight body aimed at vloggers and hybrid creators. Its design and capabilities align it with popular Sony models like the FX30 and a6700, while keeping a creator-focused layout and interface.

Built-in creative modes, a 3-capsule directional microphone, and a fully articulating 3" LCD touchscreen (with vertical orientation support and an integrated tally light) make it a versatile tool for vlogs, social media content, and everyday shooting. Major upgrades include a 759-point phase-detection AF system, Cinematic Vlog mode, a dedicated AI processing unit, and support for the long-lasting NP-FZ100 battery.

26MP Exmor R APS-C sensor

The ZV-E10 II uses Sony’s advanced APS-C Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor with approximately 26 megapixels of effective resolution. This sensor offers:

• High image quality and detail

• Increased sensitivity with less noise, especially in low light

• A strong base for high-quality stills and 4K video

BIONZ XR image processing engine

The latest BIONZ XR processor provides up to eight times more real-time processing power than previous generations. This leads to:

• Improved detail and sharpness in both photos and video

• Standard ISO range from 100 to 32,000 with a good balance of sensitivity and low noise

• Fast sensor readout that allows 5.6K oversampling for 4K (3840 × 2160) recording at up to 60p, compressing a large amount of information into high-quality 4K footage

Creative Look and in-camera styling

The Creative Look function lets you shape the mood of stills and movies directly in camera:

• 10 preset Creative Looks are included and can be used as-is or customised via adjustable parameters (contrast, saturation, sharpness, and more).

• My Image Style simplifies creative control in Intelligent Auto or Scene Selection modes by allowing you to adjust background blur, brightness, and colour tone from simple icons on the touchscreen.

• This approach lets you get expressive, stylised results without needing to understand technical concepts like f-stops, exposure compensation, or colour temperature.

Cinematic Vlog Setting

Cinematic Vlog Setting offers an intuitive way to produce cinema-style vlogs:

• Choose a “Look” such as S-Cinetone to enhance skin tones.

• Choose a “Mood” to emphasise certain colours and emotional tones.

• Adjust AF transition speed to control how quickly focus shifts between subjects.

These options help you create cinematic vlog footage that matches your scene and creative intent without diving into complex menus.

Interchangeable lenses and kit lens

The ZV-E10 II uses the Sony E-mount and is compatible with:

• G Master lenses, which offer top-tier resolution and bokeh

• G lenses, which combine strong optical quality with value

• A wide range of other Sony and third-party E-mount lenses

The ZV-E10 II kit includes the E PZ 16–50 mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS II, a compact power zoom that covers wide-to-standard focal lengths and is ideal for everyday and vlog use.

Skin tones and portrait optimisation

The camera is tuned to reproduce human skin tones consistently and naturally for both stills and movies:

• Skin colour and texture are optimised regardless of lighting conditions.

• Refined gradation and highlight roll-off improve portrait rendering, especially in bright or high-contrast scenes.

• Soft Skin Effect can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes while keeping the eyes and mouth sharp.

• Face Priority AE automatically adjusts exposure for faces, even in backlit or dim conditions, so your subject remains well exposed.

Slow motion, time-lapse, and continuous shooting

Using S&Q (Slow & Quick) modes, you can:

• Capture up to 5× slow-motion video by recording at 120 fps and playing back at 24p, using XAVC S Full HD for high quality.

• Create time-lapse sequences in camera, with interval settings from 1 to 60 seconds, ideal for compressing slow changes like traffic, clouds, or crowds.

For stills:

• Electronic shutter continuous shooting up to 11 fps with full AF/AE tracking lets you capture fleeting expressions and fast action.

759-point Fast Hybrid AF system

The combination of BIONZ XR and refined AF algorithms delivers:

• A dense array of up to 759 phase-detection points (for stills) covering almost the entire frame, plus contrast detection for reliable focus.

• Smooth, precise and fast focusing performance, even with moving subjects or challenging lighting.

Stabilised handheld shooting

Active Mode electronic stabilisation uses a precision gyroscope and advanced algorithms to measure and correct camera shake, providing:

• Effective stabilisation even when shooting 4K and moving with the camera

• Standard and Active stabilisation options selectable via the menu to suit the situation

• Focus breathing compensation with compatible lenses to reduce small shifts in angle of view when changing focus, yielding smoother, more professional focus transitions

Audio performance and microphone options

The ZV-E10 II comes with:

• A simple windscreen to reduce wind noise when recording outdoors

• A Multi Interface Shoe with digital audio support, allowing direct digital audio transfer from compatible ECM-series microphones and other accessories for cleaner sound

Intelligent 3-capsule microphone

The built-in 3-capsule mic offers:

• Directional pickup with noise reduction

• Selectable modes: Auto, Front, Rear, or All Directions to adapt to interviews, vlogs, voiceovers, and ambient audio

4K 60p, 10-bit 4:2:2, and All-Intra recording

The camera supports:

• 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording

• All-Intra (XAVC S-I) compression at up to 4K 60p resolutions

For professional workflows, you can:

• Import and apply User LUTs (look-up tables) so the camera records with your preferred look baked in

• Use these LUTs with tools like Catalyst Browse, Catalyst Prepare/Plugin, or Master Cut to streamline grading and editing

Touchscreen operation and flexible framing

• Vari-angle 3.0" TFT LCD monitor for vertical, horizontal, and selfie shooting.

• Swiping in from the left or right edge brings up touch icons for quick access to shooting modes and frequently used functions.

• Swiping up displays the Fn (Function) menu for rapid adjustments.

The display layout automatically adjusts when shooting vertically, so information remains easy to read.

S-Log3, Picture Profiles, and dynamic range

• S-Log3 gamma offers a wide dynamic range for footage that will undergo heavy grading, preserving detail in shadows and highlights.

• Picture Profiles and Creative Looks give you further control over contrast, saturation, and colour for stills and video.

Vlogging and sharing features

Vertical format and Product Showcase

• Vertical shooting is fully supported: display information rotates automatically to match camera orientation.

• Product Showcase mode, mapped to a custom button, quickly switches focus from your face to a product held in front of the lens and then back again, perfect for reviews and demo videos.

Custom function buttons and transfer

• The Fn menu can be customised to hold frequently used functions for one-touch access.

• A Smartphone Transfer function in playback mode enables fast wireless transfer of images and videos to your phone, ready to post on social platforms.

C1 button and Background Defocus

• The Custom 1 (C1) button can be reassigned, but is pre-set as a Background Defocus toggle.

• Press once to blur the background more (stronger bokeh) and emphasise your subject.

• Press again to reduce blur and keep more of the scene in focus, ideal for cityscapes or landscapes.

Fast-access controls

• A dedicated Stills/Movie/S&Q switch lets you change modes quickly.

• An ergonomic command dial adjusts key settings like shutter speed or aperture and works together with the navigation buttons for faster menu use.

Live streaming and connectivity

• 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi support makes the ZV-E10 II well-suited for wireless live streaming.

• The USB Type-C SuperSpeed 5 Gbps (USB 3.2) port allows high-speed wired transfer to smartphones or computers for editing and sharing.
