    Slow and Quick Motion

    It offers a maximum bit rate of 600 Mbps (4:2:2 10-bit, H.264, All-I) for smooth replay in slow or quick motion in S&Q mode while using XAVC S-I format at 60p – a game-changing feature for captivating time-lapse footage.

    10-bit 4:2:2 in-camera recording

    The ZV-E1 can record 10-bit 4:2:2 video internally when using Long GOP or All Intra compression, making it possible to grade for fuller, more natural gradations while generally providing greater editing freedom.

    S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 and S-Gamut3/S-Log3

    S-Log3 offers enhanced reproduction of shadow to mid-tone (18% grey) gradations. Color spaces include S-Gamut3, with even better color reproduction than S-Gamut, and S-Gamut3.Cine, a color space that has been designed to provide a look similar to scanned cinema film.

    Import and use custom LUT files

    User LUT files (.cube format) can be imported and assigned to picture profiles to create a specific look. The look is recorded in-camera, so color correction in post processing can be minimized or eliminated.

    Flexible ISO for greater exposure setting freedom

    Flexible ISO is an S-Log3 shooting mode that allows ISO sensitivity to change according to the brightness of the scene, while aperture and shutter speed are set manually. ISO can be set to AUTO or manually set between 640 and 102400 (160 and 409600 in expanded ISO mode) as required for optimum exposure.
