Sony ZV-1F Vlog Camera for Content Creators

One Super ED element and two extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the lens design and help to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color neutrality.

Nano AR Coating II has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions. This updated coating is better suited for larger, curved elements and is especially adept at minimizing internal reflections.

An XD Linear Motor system uses two separate motors, along with an internal focusing design, to provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus and tracking performance. This design also contributes to more natural, intuitive Linear Response manual focus control and an AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for quick focus mode switching.

Minimum focusing distance of 9.8" suits making dynamic close-up images.

A focus hold button is present on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid access to select programmable settings.

Physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications. The ring also incorporates a locking "A" position for use in automated exposure modes.

Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.

Fluorine-coated front and rear elements resist dust, moisture, and fingerprints and are easy to clean.

Filter holder is incorporated at the rear of the lens, within the lens mount, and accepts cut gel filters and a filter cutting template is included.

Integrated petal-shaped lens hood helps to block stray light from causing lens flare and also affords some physical protection to the front element.

As part of Sony's flagship G Master series, this lens is designed to achieve notably high resolution and sharpness through the correction of a wide variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations. G Master lenses feature robust and intuitive-to-handle physical designs to optimize both still photography and cine applications.

A popular 70-200mm telephoto zoom range designed for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, this lens is also compatible with APS-C-format cameras where it renders a 105-300mm equivalent focal length range.

The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture offers consistent performance throughout the zoom range and lends greater control over focus position for shallow depth of field techniques. The new 11-blade aperture design operates silently and works together with the extreme XA aspherical element to suppresses onion ring bokeh, delivering a natural looking circular bokeh.

Two extra-low dispersion elements and two Super ED elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color fidelity. Each optical surface has a Nano AR Coating II applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions.

Four XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors ensure fast, precise, and accurate autofocus in both stills and video, with increased speed and improved tracking over the previous model, and reduced focus breathing, zoom shifting, and axis shifting for refined cine shooting.

Optical Steady Shot image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery when shooting handheld with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system can also be combined with select camera's sensor-shift type image stabilization for more effective control of camera blur. An OSS mode switch offers selection between Mode 1 for general image stabilization suited to general shooting, a Mode 2 setting designed for panning movements, and Mode 3 for emphasizing framing stability when shooting moving subjects.

Designed with video applications in mind, flexible focus control is provided by features such as full-time DMF (Direct Manual Focus), Linear Response MF, and a focus-range limiter. An aperture ring with switchable clicks and an iris lock provides refined exposure control in different shooting conditions.

The lens barrel is equipped with three programmable focus control buttons, a focus mode switch, range limiter, iris lock, and aperture ring click selector to permit fast, intuitive operation of the lens while shooting.

The front lens element features a fluorine coating to protect against smudges and dust from adhering to the glass surface. Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in harsh environments.

A removable, rotating tripod mount permits quick switching from horizontal to vertical shooting orientations.

The included lens hood features a flocked interior for reduce glare and an opening that allows convenient operation of separately purchased circular polarizing or other rotating filters.

Compatible with Sony's optional 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, this lens can be easily transformed into a 98-280mm or 140-400mm optic, respectively.
