Sony is bringing a lot of Vlog features we saw on the other Vlog camera ZV-1 to this new camera. You get features like Background Defocus, Product Showcase mode, etc. There is a big record button at the top, along with a new slowmo button.

The highest resolution this camera can record is 4K @ 30p ( XAVC S 4K – oversampled from 6k w/ full pixel readout – no pixel binning ). You can also record Full HD slow-mo videos up to 120fps. Since this is aimed at vloggers, Sony has many of the picture profiles like S-Log2, S-Log3, HLG, etc to give more creative control over the videos you shoot.
