Sony today announced a new free firmware update for the digital camera ZV-1 that allows users to easily utilise its high-quality video and audio for livestreaming by simply connecting the camera directly to a PC.
With this firmware update, users can easily connect the ZV-1 to a PC via USB to utilise the high-quality video stream and built-in microphone for crystal-clear audio for everyday uses from livestreaming via social media platforms to video conferencing. Additionally, when the camera is connected to one of Sony’s Xperia™smartphones, users can livestream on the go and use the Xperia smartphone as a secondary display to read comments and monitor the live feed.
Recently, there has been an increase in demand for livestreaming, and a growing expectation for its image and audio quality. This firmware update allows users to take full advantage of the ZV-1’s high-quality video as well as excellent audio capabilities, utilising high-quality UVC/UAC support, for livestreaming, video calls and more. This capability will also be added to additional compatible cameras in the future.

HLG3 seems to have quite a wide dynamic range. That was really stressed in this setting.
The ZV-1 is not only for V-loggers. Gyro stabilization in post, directional mics, a fast lens, great AF, HLG3 dynamic range, and a good sensor are all useful for shooting in places where one wants to be inconspicuous - the camera is like a miniature A7s iii (without 10bit).

Test of gyro stabilization in post:
The Sony ZV-1 is an off-shoot of the company's excellent RX100 VA enthusiast compact line. It has the same 20MP 1"-type sensor, fast 24-70mm equivalent lens and excellent autofocus system as recent RX100-series compacts, and like the RX100 VA, the ZV-1 captures oversampled 4K (which is slightly cropped at 30p, but not 24p) and features a mic input.

I'm holding out for industrial pink, or the Hello Kitty version. Who says that innovation has stopped at Sony?

To seller at BHPhoto, so they say.
The Vlogcam ZV-1 received twice as many advance orders in Japan as expected, a Sony official said.
This guys are desperate and they lie, and do it very gently, as they can say you that they expected orders to be exactly preorders number divided by 2 :-)
