With the new Sony ZV-E1, vloggers and content creators can achieve cinematic video at the push of a button and filmmakers can create stunning behind-the-scenes and b-roll footage with ease.

Professional timelapse photographer and Sony Artisan Drew Geraci had the opportunity to use the new Sony ZV-E1 camera, focusing on testing its in-camera timelapse mode. “One of the things I really liked about it was that I would shoot in S-Log3, S-Gamut3, and was able to have all the information stored in the timelapse when I bring it back to post. I don't have to do any actual post-production with the footage.”

Geraci continues, “I was really surprised at how beautiful the shot actually turned out compared to even just a standard 4K still frame. For me, the evolution of using timelapse in that essence is going to be huge for different types of productions, especially ones that don't want full on timelapse work. It’s for those who just want something that's going to be seen quickly and is available quickly, but that's also high quality. The camera was able to, in Aperture Priority Mode and with Auto ISO, to ramp that exposure from day to night in the actual timelapse with absolutely no flicker. It just looked buttery smooth. That's a huge win for shooting in this regard.” Read more in Timelapse With The New Sony ZV-E1.
