Sony ZV-E10 II camera: Creative Looks and Cinematic Vlog Setting

As per Sony, the ZV-E10 II camera features two key functions designed to produce premium-looking content straight from the camera: Creative Looks and Cinematic Vlog Setting.

When shooting videos and still images, users can instantly enhance their images by selecting from ten Creative Look options: Standard (ST), Portrait (PT), Neutral (NT), Vivid (VV), Vivid 2 (VV2), Film (FL), Instant (IN), Soft Highkey (SH), Black & White (BW) and Sepia (SE). Each of these looks is further customisable and can be edited through eight different parameters. Once customised, a creator can save six personal custom styles directly in the camera.

According to Sony, the Cinematic Vlog Setting automatically adjusts the aspect ratio, frame rate, and AF transition speed to optimal settings for cinematic video capture. Additionally, Creators can enhance their footage by selecting from five “Looks” such as S-Cinetone which enhances skin tones, and applying one of four “Moods”, that emphasise specific colours.
