The former, which is the default, uses digital IS + optical IS to smooth things out but comes with a hefty crop factor of 1.44x. During video capture, users can choose between 'Active' and 'Standard' stabilization modes. There's no sensor-shift image stabilization in the ZV-E10 but electronic shake reduction is available, and optical IS is supported via Sony's OSS-equipped lenses. Furthermore, the ZV-E10 ships with a hot-shoe-attachable windscreen (also known as a 'dead cat').įor those wishing to attach a non-proprietary microphone, the ZV-E10 also offers a 3.5mm microphone socket, in addition to a headphone socket for audio monitoring. And Sony has several different microphone options that work with this proprietary means of connection, including the recently announced ECM-W2BT wireless mics, as well as several shotgun-style options.Īdditionally, the camera has a built-in directional 3-capsule microphone, which provides pretty decent quality audio (when vlogging in selfie mode), for those wishing to avoid the purchase of additional accessories. This camera is well-set-up to capture pleasant audio, whether you plan to attach an accessory microphone or use the camera's onboard mic.Ī multi-interface shoe on the top left of the camera body supports digital audio. The ZV-E10 also offers high-speed shooting capabilities up to 1080/120p, allowing for a 4x slow-motion effect (with a 1.14x crop). But keep in mind, this is an 8-bit camera, and S-Log 3 and HLG footage will more readily fall apart a bit when graded, compared to a 10-bit camera. The camera also offers S-Log 2 and 3, as well as HLG capture. These profiles offer the ability to shoot a low contrast look for grading in post. Unlike the a6100, the ZV-E10 gets Sony's Cinema Picture Profiles, of which there are ten different options. There's a noticeable crop in the 30p mode (1.23x, the same as the a6100), but no crop when shooting 24p. The ZV-E10 shoots oversampled 4K video at 24 and 30p.
