Sony Digital Vlog Camera ZV 1 (4K Vlogging Camera) Black with Sony ECM-G1 Shotgun Microphone, Super-Cardioid, Compact Sound Ideal for YouTube

From the manufacturer

Video EYE AF

With AI technology, you can rely on the autofocus sticking firmly to your face and eyes without wandering to other subjects during vlogging. In addition, when the camera recognizes eyes, faces, or subjects, a frame is displayed on each target so you can make sure that the subject is in focus and shoot without worrying.

Bokeh Switch

By simply pushing the Bokeh Switch, you can switch background bokeh on and off – no need for complex manual adjustments. Capture expressive selfies with the professional look of a soft-focus background. Makes your youtube vlogs way easier.

Make your reviews stand out with Product Showcase Setting

Take your YouTube product reviews to a new level of professionalism with the Product Showcase Setting, for fast and precise focus transitions from you to your featured product. The C2 custom button activates Product Showcase Setting by default, deprioritizing your face for focusing and widening the field of view.

Beautiful and natural skin tones for everyone

Sony’s enhanced color science ensures lively, natural images and is especially strong across the diverse range of skin tones. It is available for both movie and still image capture, and is supported with a Soft Skin option to smooth blemishes.

Ideal for clear vocal pickup

The ECM-G1 is particularly suitable for picking up the frequency bands characteristic of human voices. The microphone captures voices in a clear and easily audible manner, for excellent recording of vlog monologues, interviews and conversations.

Shotgun microphone functionality in a compact package

At just XX mm in length and xx g in weight, the ECM-G1 is highly portable and ready to go wherever you’re shooting. The front of the unit won’t interfere with your shot even when you’re using a wide-angle lens, and it can fit easily into setups that include gimbals or grips.

Cable-free connection through an MI Shoe

The ECM-G1 connects to, and is directly powered from, Sony’s compatible cameras via an MI (Multi Interface) Shoe. In addition to simple connectivity and portability, you’ll enjoy interference and mechanical noise-free shooting, with no need for external cable connections.

Convenient battery-free operation

The MI Shoe of compatible cameras serves to supply power directly to the microphone, so you don’t have to worry about microphone batteries running out of charge midway through a shoot.

8High quality sound from a large-diameter microphone capsule

Despite its overall compact size, the ECM-G1 shotgun microphone is built around a large-diameter (14.6 mm) microphone capsule, designed to provide clear sound capture while effectively suppressing noise. [1] Built-in microphone [2] PCM-D100 [3] ECM-G1

Super-cardioid characteristics for highly directional pickup

Just like larger shotgun microphones, the ECM-G1 features a super-cardioid capsule design. This focuses the audio pickup to a narrow target in front of the microphone, suppressing ambient sounds and making it perfect for vlogging and interviews.

Shock and vibration suppression

The ECM-G1 incorporates a shock- and vibration-suppressing design that effectively reduces low-frequency vibration noise, including noise when zooming the lens or focusing. The cable-free setup also eliminates the possibility of vibration noise being transmitted through connector cables.

Supplied wind screen for outdoor shoots

The microphone comes with a wind screen that is very effective at reducing wind noise when you’re shooting outdoors.
