Hire Sony ZV-E10

Our thoughts

'Widely known as a vlogging camera, it’s easy to dismiss the Sony ZV-E10 for other purposes but the fact is, this is a powerful camera with a lovely 24-megapixel sensor. Unlike most compact offerings, the ZV-E10 supports interchangeable lenses, making it a viable option for all sorts of disciplines. Sony’s always capable autofocus always shines through, and along with fabulous remote connectivity, this is a great choice for a shooter looking to avoid the fuss.'

Wide and dynamic footage

With a wide-angle lens (not included) it's easy to capture dynamic footage, spotlighting both you and your location when you're taking selfies. Capture more of the city or the natural backdrop, and bring your viewers along with you in a shared experience.

One-touch control of background blurring

There's no need for complicated manual adjustments – just press a single button to turn background blurring (bokeh) on and off. Select “Defocus” for a professional-looking blurred background to draw attention to the main subject, or “Clear” to show the entire scene in sharp focus.

Add drama with slow and quick motion

With the ZV-E10's Still/Movie/S&Q button, you can easily access S&Q mode to shoot slow-motion video at a speed 4x slower than real time. Or, by changing the setting, you can shoot quick motion up to 60x faster. These can be shot without post-editing on a PC, with clear Full-HD quality.

Ideal for product-review videos

When the Product Showcase Setting is activated, the camera will quickly and automatically shift focus from your face to a product held in front of the camera, without the need to place your hand behind the product to shift the focus to it.

Natural and smooth skin tones

Without any special settings, the ZV-E10 will capture your skin tone with a natural look. There's also a Soft Skin Effect to smooth your skin's appearance, which is adjustable to OFF/ Low/ Mid /High depending on your preference.

High-quality video even when you're moving

The ZV-E10's image stabilisation system can shoot smooth, clean video footage even when you're walking. Another feature, Face Priority Auto Exposure (AE), will automatically brighten the lighting of your face – it automatically detects your face and makes adjustments to keep it brightly lit as you move from indoors to outdoors, through light or shadow.

Automatic, precise focus

Without any settings, the ZV-E10 can automatically track your face and eyes to keep a steady focus without wandering off onto other subjects. When you do want to shift focus, just touch the LCD monitor and the camera will track the subject you choose with AI-enabled Real-time Tracking.

Smooth, professional focus transition

With the ZV-E10, focus speed can be customised to fit the mood, for a more impressive look. The camera lets you choose from seven different speeds, from a quick transition to a more leisurely one.

Shooting grip for smoother vlogging

The optional GP-VPT2BT makes it even easier to take selfies and shoot from high or low angles. You can also access controls on the grip without reaching for the camera's buttons while shooting. With these controls you can start and stop recording, handle zoom operations and set the Bokeh Switch to “Defocus” or “Clear”.

Impressive 4K movies

Making high-resolution 4K movies is as easy as pressing the MOVIE button, and the ZV-E10's large image sensor enables a beautiful range of colours. For maximum detail, the image sensor records 2.4x (when shooting at XAVC S 4K 24p) – the volume of data needed for 4K, then condenses the data to produce the final recording.

Built for Clear Voice Recording

The ZV-E10 makes it easy to clearly record your voice without any worries. The internal Directional 3-Capsule Mic is optimised to capture sound from in front of the camera, recording your voice clearly even when you're in a crowd.

Clear sound recording even outdoors in the wind

The ZV-E10 comes with a wind screen that reduces wind noise when you're shooting outdoors. Just attach the wind screen for worry-free shooting, and you won't have to adjust noise levels after shooting.

Simple remote connectivity with high-quality images

The ZV-E10 can be used as an online communication tool – a live-streaming camera, taking advantage of its large sensor and built-in mic. To use the ZV-E10 as an external camera, connect it to a compatible computer or a Sony Xperia™ smartphone via a USB Type-C cable connection.

Add artistic effects in camera

You can switch up your colour to create a variety of artistic effects. Just change the setting of Creative Style, or choose from seven different visual effects using Picture Effect modes.

S-Log3 support for creative-looking colour tones

The ZV-E10 features S-Log3, used in other high-end Alpha series cameras, for a more creative colour tone. With post-production editing on a PC, S-Log3 allows a wide dynamic range for greater control over final colours.
