Sony ZV-E10 II with 16-50mm II Lens Kit (SKU ZVE10M2KB.CEC)

The black Sony ZV-E10 II with 16–50mm lens is an updated APS-C mirrorless camera kit built specifically for content creators and vloggers. It uses a new 26MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and the latest BIONZ XR processor to deliver faster performance and higher image quality, while remaining small and lightweight. Its capabilities put it in the same family as popular models like the FX30 and a6700, but with a creator-friendly layout.

Built-in creative modes, a 3-capsule directional microphone, and a fully articulating 3" LCD touchscreen with vertical support and an integrated tally lamp make it an excellent all-round vlogging tool. Key upgrades include a 759-point phase-detection AF system, Cinematic Vlog mode, a dedicated AI processing unit, and support for the high-capacity NP-FZ100 battery.

26MP Exmor R APS-C sensor

The ZV-E10 II uses Sony’s advanced back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor in APS-C format:

• Approx. 26.0 megapixels effective resolution

• Higher sensitivity and reduced noise, even in low light

• Clean, detailed stills and video with improved tonal rendering

BIONZ XR processing and 5.6K oversampling

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

• Greater detail and sharpness for both stills and video

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

• High-speed sensor readout that enables 5.6K oversampling, downsampling a large amount of data into crisp 4K (3840 × 2160) footage at up to 60p

In-camera creative control

The Creative Look function allows you to style your images and video directly in camera:

• 10 Creative Look presets are supplied, which can be used as they are or customised via adjustable parameters (contrast, saturation, sharpness, etc.).

• My Image Style gives extra flexibility when shooting in Intelligent Auto or Scene Selection modes, letting you change background blur, brightness, and colour tone using simple icons on the touchscreen.

• This lets you achieve expressive results without worrying about f-stops, exposure compensation, or colour temperature.

Cinematic Vlog Setting

Cinematic Vlog Setting makes it easy to create cinematic-looking vlogs without complex configuration:

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

• Select a “Mood” to emphasise different colour palettes.

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

This provides an intuitive way to match your footage to the scene and your creative intent.

E-mount lens compatibility and kit lens

The ZV-E10 II uses Sony’s E-mount and works with:

• G Master lenses, which combine very high resolution with smooth bokeh

• G lenses, which offer excellent image quality and strong value

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

This kit includes the E PZ 16–50 mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS II lens, a compact power zoom covering useful wide-to-standard focal lengths for everyday shooting and vlogging.

Natural, flattering skin tones

The camera is tuned to reproduce human skin consistently and attractively:

• Skin colour and texture are optimised separately for stills and video.

• Gradation and highlight roll-off have been refined for more pleasing portraits.

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

• Face Priority AE automatically maintains ideal exposure on faces, even in backlit or dim situations.

Slow motion, time-lapse, and high-speed bursts

The S&Q (Slow & Quick) modes give you flexible motion control:

• Up to 5× slow-motion video using 120 fps capture and 24p playback in high-quality XAVC S Full HD.

• In-camera time-lapse sequences with interval settings from 1 to 60 seconds, ideal for compressing slow events like city life, clouds, or crowds.

For stills:

• Continuous shooting with the electronic shutter at up to 11 fps with full AF/AE tracking makes it easier to capture fast moments and fleeting expressions.

759-point Fast Hybrid AF

AF performance is significantly improved thanks to BIONZ XR and updated algorithms:

• Up to 759 phase-detection AF points (stills) across almost the entire image area

• Fast, accurate, and smooth focus for both stills and video

• Reliable subject tracking even near the frame edges

Stable handheld shooting

Active Mode electronic stabilisation helps keep handheld footage steady:

• Uses a precision gyroscope and advanced algorithms to measure and correct camera shake

• Provides effective stabilisation even in 4K recording without restricting mobility

• Standard and Active stabilisation modes can be selected in the menu

With compatible lenses, breathing compensation reduces minor shifts in angle of view when focus changes, resulting in smoother, more professional rack-focus transitions.

Audio and microphone features

• Included windscreen helps reduce wind noise for outdoor recording.

• The Multi Interface Shoe supports digital audio, enabling high-quality digital sound transfer from compatible ECM series microphones directly into the camera.

Intelligent 3-capsule microphone

The built-in 3-capsule mic provides:

• High-quality pickup with effective noise reduction

• Selectable pickup patterns: Auto, Front, Rear, or All Directions to suit interviews, self-recording, ambient audio, and more

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

The ZV-E10 II supports a wide range of recording options, including:

• 10-bit 4:2:2 video

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

For professional workflows:

• User LUTs can be loaded into the camera so you can record with a specific look baked in, or preview a desired look on set while keeping a log file for grading.

• This supports efficient, predictable post-production in applications such as Catalyst Browse, Catalyst Prepare/Plugin, and Master Cut.

Touchscreen control in any orientation

• The side-opening vari-angle LCD makes it easy to shoot from high, low, or front-facing angles.

• Swiping in from the left or right reveals touch icons for quick changes to shooting mode and other key settings.

• Swiping up brings up the Fn menu, giving rapid access to frequently used options.

The on-screen information layout automatically changes for horizontal or vertical shooting, making it comfortable to use in either orientation.

S-Log3 and wide dynamic range

• S-Log3 gamma provides wide dynamic range capture, preserving detail in both highlights and shadows.

• This offers greater flexibility for colour grading and fine-tuning the final look of your footage.

Vlog-oriented controls and quick sharing

Product Showcase and custom buttons

• The camera is optimised for vlogging with customisable buttons pre-assigned to features like Product Showcase.

• With Product Showcase enabled, simply hold an item in front of the lens and the focus will shift smoothly from your face to the product and back again when you move it away.

• Other commonly used functions can be placed in the Fn menu for one-tap access.

Smartphone transfer

• A dedicated smartphone transfer function in playback lets you quickly send images and videos to your phone over Wi-Fi, ready to post to social networks with just a few taps.

C1 button and Background Defocus

• The Custom 1 (C1) button can be assigned to any frequently used function.

• By default it is set to Background Defocus, allowing you to instantly increase background blur to highlight the subject.

• Press it again to reduce blur and keep more of the scene sharp, useful for landscapes and city views.

Fast-access switches and dials

• A Stills/Movie/S&Q switch lets you change modes quickly without menu diving.

• The main control dial adjusts settings like shutter speed or aperture and works together with the navigation keys for quick operation in the Fn and settings menus.

Streaming, connectivity, and sharing

• 5 GHz Wi-Fi support makes the ZV-E10 II well suited to wireless live streaming and fast file transfer.

• A SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2) Type-C port enables high-speed wired transfer to phones or PCs for editing and upload.
